Football Gone Mad - Arcane Astral Aeons - 31-01-2023
2 things:
firstly British Broadcasting Clowns(BBC to the rest of us) And ITV...for their total love affair with premier league clubs
during the last round of the F.A cup
all those games bar ONE were terrible to watch
only one game....one game was entertaining...and yes you guessed it,it did not involve a premier league side
2nd
with the transfer window about to close
is any player seriously worth 105 million quid?.....most of us had never heard of Enzo Fernandez until the world cup
stupid money being thrown around yet again
if chelsea do sign this fernandez guy hate to imagine what wages he will be on....(wont see him shopping at asda)
the richer clubs are obviously getting richer
but.
with this cost of living crisis going on who can afford to go to games?
these big clubs will soon be playing in half empty stadiums cause people will be priced out of attending
rant over

To be fair, I thought the Brighton v Liverpool game was good one but I absolutely agree with you; the terrestrial channels, because they don't have games during the season, obsess with showing premier league teams during the FA Cup. It's largely pointless

The PL total revenue this season will top $6B, of that only $790m comes from matchday revenue, so even if half of that would disappear due to fans staying away then it would only reduce their revenue by 6.5%!! For some teams it will be more than that but for Chelsea it would only amount to a loss of revenue of $41m against total revenue of $568m and for Bournemouth at the other end it would reduce their revenue by just 3% if half the fans stayed away.
The cost of living crisis won't affect them at all, its why some clubs don't really care about the fans at all.
