actually on the subject of football : henry £110k a week?

henry said the other day he would love to stay with arsenal until he retires.
he then said that all the club had to do was show they were serious.

seems by serious he means they have to pay him £110,000 a week according to one paper.


have a laugh!

football has gone out of control

yes, i fully understand, if the club is making so much money, on the back of the players, then the players should get a fair cut of it.
but the only reason the club has revenues of so much money is they can make their customers pay £30 a ticket, and they can make sky pay hundreds of millions for the tv rights. those tv rights often a loss leader so as to have content on the channels.

so with it all being a "loss" to everyone but the players its a crazy circle of madness.

of course we cant stop as if we do, italy and spain, where clubs are effectively financed by the local authorities and thus the tax payers will pay the mad wages and the premeirship will lose out.

there has to be a fifa ruling. but then that isnt fair.

therefore football is doomed for a bad pop.
