Make A Stand, Change Football

Over the years football, the sport I love, has become a growing money pit, one that gets deeper by the transfer. Fans, once cherished, have become costumers. Football is no longer a game for the people, it is a game for the oil barrens and business tycoons of this world. How much more of this will fans take? How far can a billionaire go before someone stands up and tells them what they are doing is wrong? For me the FA cup is one of the most magical competitions in the world. The fact every team has chance to win the most famous cup in Europe just makes it special, but who won it last year? Manchester City. A club that I used to respect, but now? They are, in my opinion, an example of the shambles the modern game has become. Long story short, they bought the FA cup. What chance do teams like Wimbledon or Millwall have of a cup run now? Virtually none. And money took that way from us. How long can this charade continue before someone makes a stand? How long is it before UEFA take action against the financial elite who are slowly killing our game? What is the point of trying when you know for every million you spend someone else will spend ten million? Look at the mid-table clubs, they have no chance of winning silverware, because clubs like City spending crazy money on youngsters has caused unparalleled inflation in football. Three or so years ago eight million pounds was a perfectly acceptable fee to pay for a quality midfielder, now Chelsea are happy to offer tens of millions of pounds for Luka Modric. In honesty, I feel sorry for the fans of Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. Because all it takes is for their rich owner to get bored and they could be facing administration, bankruptcy and liquidation. Something needs to be done. How many seasons can a club function without their fans? Zero. Let’s take action, write/email your FA and if you support one of the above mentioned clubs, threaten to go on strike as a supporter, and if they fail the meet the demands of supporters do not buy their products, do not go to games and see how long they last before they have to play fair financially. Stand up, be heard, change football!
