Of course, the futire of football really relies on the costs coming down, principally the player salaries.
Clubs that are funded by dodgy owners whether that be the businesses they are in, the country they are from or in some cases, just downright money laundering.
The amount of sponsorship that comes from the gambling industry which of course is funded by Joe Bloggs.
The TV deals that are funded by Joe Bloggs.
Too many fans are happy for things to continue as long as their club is alright.
UEFA and FIFA are anti ESL but at the same time running a corrupt game (financial fair play anyone?) Qatar World Cup anyone?
Sky had huge focus on the ESL with their chief pundits slaughtering it without a hint of irony that it was Sky themselves who set this ball rolling with their involvement in football and in particular, bankrolling the English game.
I love football, but it is one of these things that when you look too closely or deeply into it, it can really hiss you off.
