- American Couple/Sports Fans Reacts: How England's Premier League Is Breaking The Sport! WOW! This was an eye-opening episode! We have enough troubles with American Sports and players making ridiculously high amounts of money. It is CRAZY how much money that England's Premier League has and spends! We had no idea about any of this and it definitely poses many questions. Good, bad or indifferent to the Sport of Football, most people will have an opinion on this topic! How can other nations compete in Football against England? Is all of this spending necessary? Should stricter rules be put in place and enforced? Or is this the new standard?

guys you need to check out the FA's ban on womens soccer and how much more popular the womens games were! theres actually a record of a womens match going all the way back to the 1690's!, not happy about the money is might scenario, i prefer the Irish GAA amateur set up where its just club v club and county v county all for the honour of the game football, hurling or camogie. it gives a more genuine investment in your team and profits go right back into the game with free training and access to equipment for little kids all the way up to the age you decide you can't run anymore lol
VAR has destroyed football for me
NO ENGLISH IN THE TEAMS LMFAO THEY ARE VANISHINGH FROM FOOTBALL TV STREETS & POLITICS
@@gmdhargreavesvar is not a thing in football its rugby
Natasha and Debbie this is a whole can of worms you have opend best put a lid on it lol ❤
I remember a time when you could only have 3 non british national players, how money talks.
I think that was a European rule, applying to all European clubs, but was ruled illegal under the freedom of movement laws of the European Union.
That was due to the "Bosman Ruling" made by the European Court of Justice.
@@CatsAreRubbish Yeah, I was trying to
keep it understandable given the American audience, and of course the ECJ ruling was only interpreting the Treaty of Maastricht (I think) which was the legal foundation of freedom of movement.
Chelsea were the first English team to field a full 11 and subs bench of foreign players including the manager. Not an English player is sight.
Arsenal @@SimBir08
Don't be misled! While all this initial massive spending and investment was going on in the English leagues, the same was happening in many of the other top leagues in Europe. It might have given SOME clubs in England an advantage over poorer English clubs, but it certainly didn't give an overall advantage for English clubs over ALL the other European clubs.
Nothing against foreign owners. But my objection is that football, from its conception, has belonged to the ordinary working man. Nowadays it’s a game for the better off. Most working people can no longer afford season tickets. The loss of football to the working classes directly coincides to the timescale of this video.
Support your local non-league club, they will appreciate you far more and their prices are very reasonable.
The Ordinary Working man never owned clubs, clubs were always owned by people with deep pockets, the great and the good of local business originally and has morphed into what we have now, many owners of the clubs in the 50's actually despised fans and players seeing them as the little people in life.
@@Brookspirit It’s not United/City/Liverpool/Arsenal et al though is it.
You can go and see a local performance of a well known play,but it ain’t the west end is it.
As with everything,you have to pay for the best.

@@RushfanUK No. The game came about in mining areas as a way for the men to exercise and get fresh air. It was only as the game became more popular that businessmen saw an opportunity to make money. Most early clubs were cooperatives. The leagues were all amateur for many years.
Regardless. I am talking about the heavy commercialisation of the game during the 30 years between 1975 and 2005. The working man was forced off the terraces by price increases. Football may still be worshipped by millions of working people but no longer on season tickets. It's a middle class audience that holds the season tickets.
As a Liverpool fan for 50 years the worst thing is that fact that TV dictates when games are to be played. Traditionally every team played at 3pm Saturday afternoon , now teams play on all different days and times. Ultimately every club in the premier league will be a franchise like in the US , completely changing football and its traditions
No they won't
I wouldn't be so sure, nine premier league clubs are american owned plus others that are foreign owned, not a problem as such, but with 14 votes required for rule changes, it only takes a few more to start pushing through things like super league and franchising.
@@nmp147 doesn't matter who owns what when it's government legislation to protect the football clubs heritage and fans. Do you not know about the fan led review the government did, they're on the verge of making it law that football clubs can't do stuff like that.
@@mattsmith5421 yeah fully aware of the fan led review, but that's gotta be pushed through first, soon as the election was announced that was paused, no garrantee yet that it will be picked up again, I hope your right because as uncomfortable as I am with politics getting involved in sports something needs to be done to protect the fans and the game.
I'm a lifetime football fan. Originally from the UK but been in Canada for the last 43 years. I am 70 now so grew up watching footy in the 70s. When I first moved to Canada in 1981 it was practically impossible to watch a European sport. Soccer as it's known here was just not a thing. When the premier league came along all that changed. The game became massive around the world. Even the US was not immune. At first sports writers tried to make fun of "soccer" but they couldn't sustain that rhetoric in the face of the global obsession. I used to hear from US friends about the super bowl maybe getting a billion viewers. Well that was for 1 game once per year. Premier League was getting over 3 billion views every week. I would hear about NFL super bowl winners being "world" champions" I guess so if your world only consists of 1 country. Same with MLB "world series" 1 Canadian team and the rest American for a total of 2. The world has almost 200 countries all of which play soccer. People outside the US are not surprised by the statistics from the European football leagues .
In Formula 1 they set a spending limit.
Whilst the 49ers now own Leeds United. Worrying is the recent investment from Red Bull. Supporters are worried about this impact. Like red bull kits and renaming the club.
Red bull have only really succeeded with one club they took over, RB Leipzeig in the Bundesliga. The rest get absolutely nowhere.
In Sweden 51% of the ownership is the members. A company or person can only buy 49% if the club/members would like to sell a part.
im a leeds fan with the 49 WE ARE STILL LEEDS AND YORKSHIRE AT HEART...
My team Arsenal is owned by Stan kroenke whose family own Walmart, and many sports franchises in the states.
Stan Kroenke doesn't like sports, he likes money. He has now given the club over to his son.
Here's a little insight into what it takes to buy a ticket to a game. I'm a Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur) fan. The tickets for their games do not go on general sale. They are sold to club members, where membership has several tiers to it. Advancement through the tiers costs money and takes time. You can't just buy your way straight in. I totted up the total for the lowest tier once and worked out that to get a ticket for a fairly low stakes game (e.g. playing Bournemouth rather than Arse&All) would take 3 years of continued membership at a cost of around £800. That's before the cost of the ticket itself.
Needless to say, I have never been to a Premiership game.
That is inhumane. I am glad that things are different in Germany, even if our clubs suffer financial disadvantages as a result.
The Premier League is the best league in the world but you’re right. It makes it impossible to compete if you’re one of the small clubs. My team , Derby County, were Division 1 (the old version of the Premier League) champions twice in the 1970s but I’m afraid that now being able to compete in the Premier league is just a pipe dream. I have friends who support smaller clubs who were in line to be promoted last season and they were saying they actually wanted to stay in The Championship which is the second tier of English Football because they didn’t want to go and see their team get beaten every week.
I'm an arsenal fan and our owner is Stan kreonke.... owner of the LA Rams
Manchester City & Chelsea are known as 'oil clubs', Newcastle is now also on that list.
Yeah Absolutely no oil money from
The team that plays in the Emirates stadium
Money talks in this world. Definitely within this sport.
YEP BUT THE FANS HOLD THE CARDS IN THE END ! BUT FANS ARE ADDICTED TO THE GAME ITSELF
NOW IF ALL TEAMS IN THE CHAMPOIONSHIP DOWN AND ALL PREMIERSHIP TEAM BARRED THE SO CALLED TOP 6 ALL BOYCOTTED ATTENDING GAMES FOR 1 SEASON THEY WOULD HAVE TO REACT BUT THE FANS COULD NOT DO IT SO NOTHING WILL CHANGE
It's not impossible for smaller clubs to compete, but they still need substantial investment.
Leicester City won the Premier League, and relegated a few seasons after, but even they had a multimillionaire owner (admittedly much much less wealthy than Sheikh Mansour).
And they are back up again after one season.
One thing to add, is that the English 2nd tier (Championship) is the 4th Richest league in Europe generating more money than most other European top leagues.
As a Leeds United fan I am more than happy with the 49ers "Enterprises" buying the club.
Individual sports stars & film stars are investing in the club via that route.
Personally not a big football fan, but love learning about it and seeing what has been done in Wrexham and all the good things that come from it. Thank you for the video. 😊
Thank you both....I wouldn't have known how messed up the UK football industry is without following your channel! I am shocked and really a bit horrified. I suspect a lot of that money is from illegal or, at the very least, dubious sources. None of that money is being taxed properly because it is being channeled through offshore banks...gosh! I had no idea!
Transfers in football aren’t the same as the US. The clubs own the players so the transfer fees of say 100m are the fee they pay the club to buy that player. Wages are seperate and are typically stated on a weekly basis. Enzo Fernandez who was bought by Chelsea for 120m is probably on a salary of £150k a week and I think he’s on a 7 year contract. Profit and sustianability rules now mean clubs can spend a % of total annualised revenue over a 3 year period on player and staff costs. This doesn’t help lower revenue teams that much as it’s even more difficult to break into the top as they have lower revenue to begin with.
Same thing with the UK film industry - Thatcher removed the restrictions on foreign films. Total deregulation. Around the mid 80s the former UK Hollywood died in terms of original British films production French retain the same restrictions protectionism against foreign cinema they've always had to this day.
The whole system needs revised. As a Wolves supporter I’d love to see money ploughed into the team however this isn’t happening right now and instead ticket and shirt prices are going up and the fans are suffering!
This video is not saying how all this started. European clubs mainly Spanish started paying certain stars ( top espanic players) huge weekly wages. The wages race started in Spain.
The two clubs also had a very lopsided domestic TV deal. The ratio from the top club to the bottom in the PL is
Whilst the Premier League charges the most for its broadcast rights, it still works out as very cheap broadcast TV. Why do you think TV companies argue over FA Cup rights? It's still a low cost to get guaranteed millions of viewers.
At Nottingham Forest, we can not even get a ticket for a match. And there's a 10 year waiting list for season tickets.
😲😲
The reality is it's not fair for local fans either. Money is taking over everything. This year's Champions League final was not available on free to air TV or streaming (legally) for the first time in I don't know how long. Fans are getting priced out of the game. The only saving grace for that is that more and more fans are going to support their local non-league clubs, who are struggling financially themselves especially due to the increasing costs (and especially reduced revenue during covid). Last year, the EFL Championship, England's second tier, was the world's 2nd most attended football league, behind only the English Premier League. The Championship certainly isn't amateur, but if that doesn't tell you the quality and interest in English football, I don't know what will.
The English started the 1St pro leagues and established the modern rules, Ebaneezer Morley around 1860.
Brighton and Brentford are teams that are owned by local owners who are fans of their clubs. Most of the money that Chelsea spent last season was given to Brighton as the owner of Chelsea could not be bothered to find players, so Brighton paid 4 million for a player and Chelsea paid 50 million for that player 1 year later, they also took their manager . 😂 only for the most part they flopped once they left Brighton.
Money in the game is good however the distribution of that money is not. The haves want to keep most , if not all, of it. In doing this the money does not trickle down the football pyramid to the lower league clubs. I support Brighton and Hove Albion who in 1997 were nearly relegated to non-league football but in recent years have worked their way up the pyramid and now play in the Premier League. Our owner is actually a fan of the club he owns. Some of the money that is mentioned in the video that Chelsea spent was for a couple of our players. Graham Potter also mentioned was once our Manager. I have been a fan of BHAFC since I was 8 through both thick and thin. Now enjoying our place in the Sun of the Premier League. Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK.
The thing with with foreign owners is we have quite a few Americans owners that just don't get the sport or the fans, their motivation is profit first, not success. With the eastern owners its all about the success and prestige, for them its all about rich boys and their toys, and they don't care if they have to cheat to get what they want.
Even teams like Leeds who are in the league below the premier are now owned by your San Fran 49ers, Seattle Kraken and Red Bull on paper their net worth puts them in the top 10 richest now in the uk
Haven’t seen anyone else explain the transfer fees, so here goes;
If a players ‘costs £80million’ that is to buy him out of his contract with his original club. The new club then has to agree a contract with him. Between 3-5 years is most common. At that point, they ‘own’ the player. In the future, they can then agree another contract with him or choose to sell him on again. The longer the contract length, the more costly it is usually for a new club to buy them out of the contract.
So player X is bought for £80m, signs a 5 year contract with his new club for £20m a year (for a more extreme example), bringing the the total spending on that one player to £80m+ 5*£20m=£180m over 5 years
German clubs are not allowed to be owned by big businesses (with the exception of Bayer Levekusen, who started life as the works team of the Bayer Chemical/Pharmaceutical company) so the majority tend to be owned by their fans. Because of this, ticket prices tend to be far lower than in the Premier league. My club is Blackburn Rovers, who are currently struggling in the second tier of English football but which, when the Premiership started in 1992, were being bankrolled by a local business man, Jack Walker, and won the Premiership in 95/96. They have been on a steady decline ever since that high point.
The Premier League's wealth came in stages. Firstly, the Football League was the first and oldest, formed in 1888, so we had a head start, with fanatical fans from early years of the competition. Secondly, freedom of contract in 1978 meant that players could move to the wealthiest clubs to maximise their earnings, and smaller clubs therefore had no real control over their star players and their careers. Thirdly, and most importantly, when satellite TV appeared in the Eighties, the companies like Sky needed material that was cheap to produce and with mass popular appeal to bring in revenue and fill their schedules. They chose football, and conspired with the biggest clubs to break away from the Football League and form the Premier League, which meant that the clubs therein would keep all the TV revenue for themselves (the Football League had been redistributing it down the divisions). That, and not the disasters, was the main catalyst. The Premier League clubs were so scared of getting relegated that they had to keep scouring the world for the best talent they could find, and the majority of the clubs' revenues now goes to the players. Several clubs that have been relegated have nearly gone out of business: Wimbledon, Coventry City, Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth etc.. Oldham Athletic, founder members of the Premier League, are now in the fifth League down, the National League. There is a saying among football club owners: "How to make a small fortune in football? Start with a large fortune."
*The CRYSTAL PALACE football club! was saved from extinction by it’s own fans. A club that was founded 1861, played in the first ever FA cup competition, and a founder member of the Football Association.*
@@TomClarkSouthLondon But not to be confused with the current Crystal Palace FC which was founded in 1905 and had absolutely no connection to the Crystal Palace FC of 1861...except the name.
@@TomClarkSouthLondon But not of the Football League. It joined the League in 1920
My team is Bournemouth the Cherries & they now have owners one a Hollywood star , Michael B Jordan who led a minority ownership group investing in Bournemouth when majority owner Foley, who owns NHL team the Vegas Golden Knights, took over the club along with the Black Knight Football Club consortium in December 2022.
And we are doing great ☺☺I love watching your channel already Subscribed awhile ago ❤❤
Basically, what you’re allowed to spend is proportionate to what you make as a club. The premier league simply out earns the other leagues by a huge margin. They have done much better deals in regard to TV rights and they distribute that money much more evenly throughout the league. That’s why some of the smallest premier league clubs are able to spend more than big clubs around Europe. People can cry about the PL all they want, but the reality is that their leagues just aren’t run as well as the PL. For instance, Spain gives a larger proportion of their money to two teams (used to be 42%). Not only that, but they are the ones who started the astronomical spending on players (e.g. Ronaldo, Neymar, Coutinho etc,). They completely ruined the market for players. They’re just upset that another league is the only one whose clubs can navigate such an expensive market now.
Due to the different FA regulations between league & non-league clubs, some non-league clubs decline to be promoted as they can't afford to upgrade their grounds & facilities.
The money doesnt bother me as much as the foreign owners. For example, American owners wanted to create the super league to get rid of promotion and relegation and make the league just like American sports leagues with no competition. It took the British government telling them that they would pass a law against it if necessary to stop them, after absolutely massive fan protests. UEFA is now changing the format of the Champions League to be like what the owners wanted the super league to be as a result, making it infinitely worse.
1‘20‘‘ Which Football do you mean? American or European? 😉
3‘40‘‘ Whats was also a thing in Germany: The Clubs spent so much money for the players and then the sit the most time as a substitute. And if they get into the game they didn‘t bring the expected performance. And the Fans chanted: ‚Schei** Millionäre‘ (Sh*t Millionaires)
NUFC Newcastle United Football Club There should be a spending cap per year, The negative of this is continental Europe would buy all your top players by offering more money above your cap which makes it useless
Idk if u know this be recently , in 2023, Michael B Jordan is part owner of Bournemouth FC in the Premier League. So just like Ryan in Wrexham, superstars are slowly getting into football just I’m okay with. Hopefully that it’s the smart ones who know about football rather than seeing to get more money
You should look a documentary football factories the fighting was appalling they had “firms” which would use football as an excuse to travel fight. I remember the first season of the premier league. When I was little ,most folk supported their Home or local teams now kids support the big 4.
The owners are ruining the game and stagnating talent
The UK has what fans call the big 6 (Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool). In the past 12 seasons, of the top 4 positions which give access to the Champions league, a total of 48 qualifying spots, 45 were filled by big 6 clubs. of the other three, Newcastle qualified fourth in the first season after being taken over by cash rich owners, and they can arguably be considered one of the now big 7 clubs. Aston Villa this season have finished fourth, and the other (fairy tale) was Leicester City and their remarkable season when they won the league (that is worth watching). Although you can qualify for minor European competitions by finishing in positions 5/6/7 in the league or through the FA Cup, a look at the final league table for the 23/24 season just completed shows the problem precisely. Outside of Aston Villa and their remarkable rise this season all of the remaining places 1-8 contain the big 7 clubs mentioned here. Also all 3 of the clubs promoted into the league for last season have just been relegated. The problem even extends down into the 2nd Tier (the championship) as the relegated teams get parachute payments to help them drop into the for financially constrained leagues below. It enables them to keep the squads together in an attempt to get promoted immediately. Last seasons relegated teams finished 1st, 3rd, and 4th, this season. SO Leicester were promoted automatically, and Southampton through the play off's. Only Leeds missed out having held 2nd spot until near the seasons end when Ipswich Town beat them into final automatic promotion spot.
Financial rules have now been brought in. They are quite complex so I'll leave you to research that if it interests you, but in my opinion they just help the bigger clubs as they already are already well established, and win most of the prize money on offer. With greater global reach they also rake in more money through sponsorship and merchandising than other clubs. Manchester City and their breach of 115 charges for financial irregularities still goes unpunished, yet Everton and Nottingham Forest (who I support) had their financial breaches and had points taken off them this season. Interestingly further exposing the gulf between tiers in that the promoted clubs still couldn't compete and survive to stay in the division. So whereas the big six have the financial advantage in any event the handicap faced by the other clubs is now embedded as the financial restrictions lead to points deductions instead for any club that dares to spend to compete. Newly promoted Leicester are a good example. Having win the championship by spending heavily but well, and recruiting some excellent players, they breached the rules to maintain the success. Of course they had to sell to try to balance the books, and not buy replacements, which led to their relegation. When they come up next season they are likely to start with a points deduction for spending breaches for the previous breaches alluded to, so are at a disadvantage before the season even starts. How do they compete? It is now a handicap league in the worst possible way, because the handicap is embedded and inequitable.
I could go on of course as other aspects involving officiating are also affected, but wont. Hope this long ramble adds to your understanding. Until the next time, I hope you, friends, and family (along with all who read this, are and remain well.
Made a big point of Hillsborough but washed over the Heysel disaster where Liverpool fans killed 39 Italians. Don't be fooled by Liverpool's Victim mentality, they were the biggest of Football Hooligans and today they overcrowd stadiums and float safety rules
*the CRYSTAL PALACE football club! since 1861* ❤️👍
The best players best club comparison is not a good one. Best management best club is a better one.
The price paid for a player is for the team selling him. Ie. Man City paid aston villa £100m for Jack grealish and then his pay is negotiated with the player so it doesn't get accounted for in the sale price. The player does get a lump sum from his selling fee...normally around 10%
Like most thing's it's not how much you spend its how you spend it. Chelsea spent all this money and still didn't win the league and only scraped into a European spot. Good video ladies
Rob and Ryan at Wrexham have said they want to get to the Premier League, I’m not sure that it would be possible or even good for the town, my Dad used to take me and my sister to Wrexham matches way back in the 70s when they were in the old 3rd division (now League 1), so I’m happy to see them back where they belong! ❤❤
I was Born in 1981 as well.
I have to admit I am very torn about my thoughts on the Premier League. I have always been a passionate Liverpool supporter. The club has always stuck to the rules (unlike some other clubs cough cough Man City) but the rules do favour the bigger teams. Bigger club = more revenue = more money to spend on players. I'm not sure what the solution is. The big clubs have so much power and to give it up would be turkey's voting for Christmas. But I do want the legaue to be more competitive.
Prior to it being called the Premier League, it was called Division 1!
Am a 49rs fan not happy with their involvement with a team in second division
As a football fan since 1994 and Liverpool fan since the 94/95 season, what modern football is today is sickening in many aspects. Too long to list. But it can be argued Sky, while definitely improved things from the 80s and before, are the root of the issue, the likes of Roman's gross spending has started an awful chain reaction. Couple that with the internet and social media gen fans, following football isn't as fan despite Liverpool being far better in the last several years.
TLDR: American capitalists and State owners like Saudi Arabia, Qatar (PSG) and UAE have ruined things. But we should very much never forget Roman for kicking off things.
Yeah it nearly destroyed my club coventry city.....greedy people....love your vidz ladies
That's why in American sports their player's are paid millions because they don't have to buy the player's they are drafted. If they had to buy a player for say $100million they probably wouldn't get that big fat pay check.
Its not impossible for small teams to come up and do well in the prem, Look at teams like brighton and brentford, they were league 1, championship floater teams 15 years ago and over the last 5-8 years they have moved up into the prem and solidify there place within it, both being mid/top half sides.
The main reason for there success thou, they buy young risky investment players for super cheep, then sell them for a huge fee, for example, one player brighton bought 3 seasons ago for 1m played one season with them before being sold to Chelsea for 125m a club record fee.
Out little club in Blackpool got to the premiership a while ago. The owners wouldn’t spend on players or facilities we went back down the following year. In the end the fans boycotted home games. Went to away games as the club didn’t get any cash from it. Boycotted any businesses they had a part in. They ended up putting the club up for sale and we now we have new owners fans are happy. Have a look. We even partitioned the governing bodies in the uk about it as it came under the rules as an unfit owner. They did naff all as he put his son as the owner.
I gave up on premiership football years ago. They're just big corporations under the guise of local clubs. Makes no more sense to me to support one team over another than it does to support McDonald's over Burger King.
Your local non-league will appreciate you more. Support them.
Premiership football is fast mimicing ROLLERBALL. How long before countries are run by giant corporations with each corporation owning 1 team per country.
Good to see you Girls xx
Although it is getting ridiculous, the other European leagues have to shoulder some of the blame. By having a more equitable share between all 20 teams, the premier league is a more competitive league and is therefore more entertaining and attracts more TV revenue. Conversely other leagues have two or three elite teams and a bunch of cannon fodder. The increased predictability of these leagues makes them less entertaining.
If they want to turn this round they need to move to regional rather than national leagues to increase competitiveness. An Iberian league, a Benelux plus France league, an alpine league. Reduce the number of leagues, increase the number of viable clubs in the top division of these leagues, increase the TV revenue.
i live in york and have watched football all my life. i think its good for rich people to buy clubs. it mixes things up. just wish someone would buy leeds! everton were deducted 10 points for ONE financial vioation. man city have violated 115 rules. that would be 10 point deducted X 115. 1150 points. that would be a relegation, not only to the league below... but to a league 7 or 8 tiers below the premiership.
Three words. The Glazer Family. They took what was arguably the richest club in the world, and one that was completely solvent. For some unknown reason, they were allowed to make a leveraged buyout which dumped £700m+ of debt on the club. The loans have barely been paid down in 20 years, and they just keep syphoning more dividends into their already over stuffed pockets. At the same time they allowed the whole infrastructure of the club to decay. Training ground and facilities well below standard and the stadium beginning to fall apart. Sir Jim Ratcliffe now holds a minority share and has taken over running the football side. Whether he is remotely capable of sorting out the rest of the mess (assuming the staggered full buyout over the next few years proceeds) remains to be seen.
There have been some massive rule breakers Everton breached one and nearly went doen a league as they had points deducted this season the just survived. Man City have 115 breaches currently the hearing is in November its possible not certain that they will lose points historically which would give Liverpool the title one of those years as there was only 3 points in it.
It is ruining our National team . Chelsea was the first team to field a team with not one Englishman. Our National side now draw players from the Championship leauge the leauge below the premier. All UEFA club teams should only play 50% overseas players.
I think it's fair to say that the Premier League was and still is more concerned with the selling of the broadcast rights than the stewardship of England's top tier of football.
The fact that the charges against Manchester City go back to 2009 highlights this, in what other business would the ruling authority not bring in their auditors? The Financial Fair Play, and the Profitability Rulings, have not been updates to reflect the current financial climate, the charges and actions against Nottingham Forest and Everton, and are causing uncertainty around almost all Premiership clubs in this transfer window are all based on 2013 financials and costs! Wouldn't it be great if people could just live their lives in a 2013 bubble and paying 2013 prices?
Overseas investment is killing the premier league like Todd bohley from America coming in and spending over a billion in 1 year and city being state owned.
Yeah.... before heaping TOO much praise on British football, do remember that we haven't won a World Cup since our single victory almost 60 years ago....
I’m a Manchester United fan and it really hasn’t been a good watch for many years now (although the FA Cup Final was great 😊)
The same aeason Chelsea spent that amount of money had them finishing at 12th
It's not sustainable, somethings gotta give at some point and more regulations are inevitable. My club, Bradford City, suffered from over ambitious owners who overspent and forced the club into administration. That was 23 years ago and we are still dealing with the consequences. Thanks for uploading, ladies. P.S. Please don't do too much and get burnt out yourselves. ATB.
Ironically having spent all that, Chelsea have had their 2 worst seasons in 20 years, so money doesn't always ensure success. This year also, no English team made the champions league final, Real Madrid becoming european champions for the 15th time (double any other team) beating Borussia Dortmund of Germany
I would argue there are three issues that hamper the other leagues to the Premier Leagues benefit.
Too much focus on one or two teams gaining all the wealth and players thus the rest of the league is no better than a feeder league PSG has definitely been caught in this. They have the exact same advantages of being able to spend money but without a competitive league there is no one else to rival them.
2. The Premier League is an English language league which makes them easier to sell to the USA viewers and they got the jump on anyone else in Asia. The fact that the most watched "soccer" league in America is the EPL definitely gives them a massive advantage even over the MLS.
3. Because there are 6 teams vying for trophies consistently every year it is easy to pick your team and live and die with them. Even the teams at the bottom half matter because survival is worth SO much money to them. At the end of the day only a German style system will reign it in but the trade off might be a Bayern Munich level of dominance which I don't think is healthy.
Funny thing is of course is that the finals of the Champions League saw no English teams. And only 3 English teams have won in the past decade. Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City have 1 win each while Real Madrid has won 6.
Hi ladies. I am so glad that I never played football at school. I only played rugby. I have never been interested in football. I feel so sorry for football fans. They are charged insane amounts to go to a game and to buy a football strip. The fact that these clubs are owned by Russian Oligarks and Middle Eastern potentates is worrying.
The so called poor crowd control was the Police screwing up majorly by opening a gate outside the ground after the match had already started because the turnstiles were so slow and this led to the crowd backing up so the Police opened a gate allowing 5000 Liverpool fans to surge through the gate into the crowd itself and the fans at the front were getting crushed. The first people to realise were the Nottingham Forest Fans who got onto the side of the pitch and started trying to rip the fencing down in order to aid the Liverpool Fans who were being rapidly crushed by the surge of their own fans. At this point the police inside the ground started attacking the Forest Fans for trying to help, thinking they were just trying to attack the Liverpool Fans, yet nothing could have been further from the point. It wasn't until the Forest Fans actually managed to start helping the Liverpool Fans escape the Crush when the Pice actually realised the Forest Fans had been trying to help all along and had been the first ones to react. Ever since this disaster, The Forest and Liverpool Fans have had Great Respect for one another and when Forest actually reached the Premier League again after a 21 year absence from League, the old rivalry and respect reappeared. On the 35th Anniversary of the match, Forest played Liverpool at Anfield and the Liverpool Fans Applauded the Forest Fans and likewise the Forest Fans did the same out of respect and a banner was unfurled by the Forest Fans acknowledging the disaster and that the respected and would never forget the 97. On the TV, one of the pundits exclaimed how disgusted he was with the Forest Fans for having a Joke at the expense of the 97, however as soon as the Liverpool Fans saw the banner they knew exactly what it meant and started clapping the Forest Fans out of respect. (Unfortunately I can't remember what the banner said now but I do know it meant that we stood together with them and felt their pain too! It took a while before the ranting pundit was calmed down and it was explained to him that he had misunderstood the meaning of the banner and he then took back what he had said and apologised for his outburst towards the Forest Fans, having now finally understood the true meaning of the banner and showing that the 2 teams fans stood together and had complete mutual respect for each other also! BTW, I am a Nottingham Forest Fan and was watching the match on the TV back in 1989 but have always had an empathy for their fans and their loss on that day. There are also some Forest Fans who suffered with PTSD after actually trying to help the Liverpool Fans on the day yet being attacked by the Police for doing just that, only to subsequently witness the bodies being taken out of the stand and laid on stretchers ready for being carried away by the Ambulance Workers but it wasn't until the bodies started being covered in absolute silence that the full extent of the disaster started to be realised. Since then, there has been a finding that stated the Chief Police Officer was at fault for the disaster, however the Forest Fans that tried to help, still haven't been officially acknowledged for being the first to realise what was happening and have still been blamed by the Police themselves for delaying the opportunity for help to arrive because they got involved, which I still say is a disgrace that they couldn't acknowledge once and for all that the Forest Fans were just trying to help them. Since then however, the Senior Police Officer from that day, Chief Superintendent David Dukenfield has finally faced Criminal Charges as he was the Match day Commander on the day following the Independent Investigation by another Police Force not involved from any side in the case and this lead to that Senior Officer facing a trial and being charged with 95 Counts of Gross Negligence Manslaughter, however following a re-trial in 2019, he was found not guilty on the 95 counts. As for the 96th person to die, they had been on life support for over a year and a day, therefore according to the law as it stood back in 1989, he could not be charged with that death at all despite that law being abolished in 1996 because he was being charged under laws standing in 1989. There was 1 person that was found guilty however he was the former Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Secretary, Graham Mackrell, who was found guilty of an offence contrary to the Health and Safety at Work Act and he was 'Fined £6,500'! He is the first person to have been convicted of any offence relating to the tragedy upto 2019! Mackrell's fine was reduced to £6,500 after the judge heard many glowing testimonial references supplied for him over his good character and excellent and knowledgeable work he had carried out in the years since, however, nothing was said in reference to his work at the time of the disaster, much to the dismay and despair of the families of the Deceased Liverpool Fans! The Club (Sheffield Wednesday) itself could not be charged with any offence due to the fact that the Sheffield Wednesday Football Club plc, whose Company Name had since changed and therefore now only exists on paper as it was changed to, (Now wait for it), 'Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Ltd' which certainly still exists and at Hillsborough too where the club has played without interruption, but unfortunately is now a different Company completely and that is how they managed to avoid prosecution and personally I think that is just a disgrace that they have been allowed to get away without being charged with any offence relating to the Deaths of the 96 Liverpool Fans! It is a true travesty of justice in my opinion and a disgrace that the change from a 'plc' (Public Limited Company) to a 'Ltd' (Limited Company). Why this has been allowed to be used as an excuse to protect the Club show total disrespect to every single person that died on that tragic day back in 1989 as it now means they are totally immune from prosecution due to this Limited Company Name Change!
This is all true but a slightly squed version. In the early 90s, the Leeds chairman put the club up for mortgage to buy players in a win or bust move... They went bust (apparently the San Fran 49ers own them now😉). But it was Italian football that started the big money buys when they bought Paul Gascoigne for more than 10 times any other player had been. Italian football was king and dominant in Europe.
Since 1980 only 5 teams have ever won the Sanish league, Deportivo, Athletico, Valencia- 1 each, Bacelona and Madrid the rest. 1 Catalan team backed by their government, 1 main land spain backed by their's... It's strange how both teams are supposedly in debt yet continue to pay more and outbid even English teams🤔.
In Germany only 4 teams have won the top league in 20 years, 13 of which are Munich.
And in France... PSG...
Man U are one of the biggest global brands and have been for years, its not difficult to see where their money comes from. Likewise liverpool. Arsenal (my team)and... The noisey neighbours 😅🤮 are also self sufficient, as are most teams with good accountants. Others not so much, but 115 illegal breaches hasn't stopped one team, and others run similarly from finding loopholes to screw every other team in Europe.
sadly many fans still think all the money in the game is a good thing! it isn't
Oh you’re back girls 👏👏👏👏
The European clubs have always run up big debts and losses for years.
The premier league has just exposed them.
One team sold its stadium and the leased it back to pay some of its debts off.
The premier league is doing football a good service if it forces them to improve.
Also we pay for it with season tickets, pay per view and kits.
Look what Becham is trying to to do with his team in USA expanding the lovely game.
Cheers
It just another magic Monday
Like most games football was invented in UK. The biggest league, biggest investments, biggest money, biggest entrance fees AND a national team that is still to win cups (since 1966). Hopefully this will change in 2024
*We'll see.....who knows, maybe now the revenge spell will be activated....and Harry Kane will win his cups,.... but only with Bayern Munich.....maybe he will be TopScorer of this EURO 2024....and England will still bottle it...and it will definitely not be Harry's fault....* 🔴⚽🏟😈🔥
I am not a football fan. I only watch matches that England play in to support my nation not a local or favourite team. I don't care if foreign billionaires put money into it. The players get paid a lot to kick a ball about and risk injury.
I prefer motor racing mainly F1. The drivers get paid a lot to risk death a much more risky "game", so I feel the pay they get is a lot more proportional to what they risk. I often drive every day so watching people who drive really well is much more for filling for me.
Against, no one is worth that.
EPL is big because it's clubs are supported by people of former British colonies
And its starting all over again with the Saudi Pro League where they buy successful players at prices even the Premier League won't pay
Italia 90 major factor in the revival of,English football
As a West Ham fan all my life, but above all a lover of the game as a whole, I now consider myself a "lapsed" fan of the game at top level.
The money and the way it has Infiltrated the very soul of the game has ruined it for me.
Time was that I'd have followed the Hammers to the end of the earth, but no more, I rarely watch the game on TV these days.
I'd rather watch non league football as things stand.
Top level football is now over hyped, over priced, and vastly overrated.
The modern generation of fans has been brainwashed to believe that football started in 1992.
Many even want to get rid of the FA Cup, the World's oldest competition.
The Champions league league is nothing more than a European league via the back door and the football authorities such as the FA and UEFA are running scared of the Rich owners who's greed fired egos have taken the game away from the people who made the game great in the first place.
For me, the top level game is gone for good.
Wrexham can dream, but one more promotion will probably see them hit a glass ceiling.
And yet Real Madrid still keep winning more Champions Leagues than anyone else, including this season just gone
Please watch Luton Town documentary x
Unfortunately, this is a worrying trend that's slowly getting worse as the PL keeps on getting more outside ,mostly shady, investment. Modern football is actually getting worse.
"All combined" "wow" "combined" *plays video* "combined"
Thr premierleage era didnt start "spending equals winning" we always had thr bug xlubs vs the rest. Even Blackburn managed to pump a load of monty in for a season an win the league (yes it was in PL times, but at the beginning) as did leeds. Both won thr league but then paid the price of not being a historical big team, and it crippled them for years.
Really its been liverpool, everton, united arsenal, and the rest. Everyon is a stange one, as they dont get seen as one of the big clubs atm, as they hsve been terribel for 30 years, thr ine team thst never took advsntage of the PL era cadh injection.
Chelsea and city was never a traditional "big club", and the overall negatives of the mass injection of capital was seen, and someone terrible rules was out inplace to stop this, but agsin its at the expense of the smaller clubs. Even if the rules was there to protect thr smallest of clubs.
Its an issue without an easy solution. Rules put glass ceilings on small clubs, and no rules put pressure on small clubs to overspend to try and simpley keep in touch with, not even make ground on bigger clubs.
Its a hard one, and all depends on your own peronal standing on ehat way you think is best. I still cant decide. And its been over 20 years since the issue arose.
PSR is changing it
Manchester City have basically bought every trophy and have cheated their way to the top but hopefully all the charges against them will stop that! And I don’t support any team (cricket).
Big up the mighty York City
I thought you two were stopping doing TH-cam?
I think that English football needs new spending rules I support derby county and we have almost all of are history between the prem (1st division) and the championship (2nd division) anyway are former owner Mel morris had spent so much money trying to return to the prem but clubs with parachute (payment for being relegated ). Derby was given a 21 point deduction which ultimately saw as relegated to one (the third division) we was about a week away from being dissolved and not being the football club anymore. However under new ownership in the second time of asking we have returned to the second division with cleaver spending under strick regulations. We will return to the premier league and hopefully have a good run. Chances are this won’t happen if we don’t crack down on premier league spending. Steve bloomers watching. Up the rams 🐏
Very interesting video.
Great video to distract from work today.🤩
What large sums of money invested in the big football teams wow.🤑
There are many football professionals from Sweden who play in the biggest teams like Zlatan.😊🫶🏻
Football used to be the working man's sport, money has ruined the game with fans constantly being priced out of the game.
NO ENGLISH I THE TEAMS LMFAO THEY ARE VANISHINGH FROM FOOTBALL TV STREETS & POLITICS
And in the upcoming election a football fans vote will count the same as an intelligent persons.
fans who complain about the price of tickets but they are also the same fans who will be complaining when their team doesn't perform and then push the board to buy ever more expensive players to keep up with their rivals
Not true. When British players were exploited and unpaid in 1850s to 1990s. Football is the most popular form of entertainment in the world and is a trillion dollar interest, players deserve the money they get when it is the hardest sport to be an elite players. It is just there are lot fans who preferred when players were poor so they could feel better about their lives.
@@Delboy0 I wouldn't even put it like that when talking about money in football. The transfer fees are the real issue when I hear people talking about money in football. I doubt anybody wants the players to be poor by the way, the only people saying that are not football fans, but those who have no concept of the sport and how important it really is.
Football to us Brits is tribalism, We don't care about profits or money, we care about what happens on the field.
Sadly the money has attracted those that wish to take it for themselves where that money should be reinvested into the fan experience.
If memory serves me, there was one year the TV rights deal went up so much all the clubs could have had free seats for the whole season and they would still have made more money than they did the previous year......what happened, ticket prices went up also.
There are very few fans that want more money in the game, quite the opposite, but the solutions are no longer easy to implement as the mega wealth use their money to influence outcomes.
