Not stirring - just sharing some info on a current topic.
With the EPL being the richest league in the world you would think that the clubs could afford to lower the ticket prices. The problem we have though, is that too much of the money coming into the game is going out the door on overpriced players, agent fees and massively inflated wages. We need to pay these fees/wages or the players won't come - and if the players won't come then the huge TV deals will shrink, leaving clubs with massive overheads and reduced income to cover them. Therefore, the clubs must 'speculate to accumulate'. It's a vicious circle and was in danger of spiralling out of control before FFP came into play. I don't know what the solution is, but I'm happy to shoot any of your nonsensical ideas down in flames if you like....
