Kill the roots and the whole tree dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our average player wage would still be more than 95% of supporters earn. Lower league football survived as a professional sport before the TV and sponsor money came along. Just about all the extra money ends up in the pockets of players. ..and the FA, who have built up Cash in the bank of £3 billion. Yes that is right. The FA have £3 billion in the bank.
