A bit of a rhetorical question, I have just watched the destruction of the Sham by the Sh*ty and it got me thinking, is there really any point having competitive football these days outside of local park games?
I know the value of a player is not directly comparable with their ability, but it does give a massive indication. We would probably struggle to get to a squad value of £50 million, Manchester City's squad value is around £1.43 BILLION and they are not alone, Man Utd, Spurs and Liverpool all have squads valued around the £1 billion mark, so the question, is there really any point trying to compete with teams like that or are the others just there to make up the numbers up and give those top teams even more revenue from the screening of games on tv? Man City's shirt sponsorship deal alone is worth 150% of our entire squad value every single year.
