The new trend of selling the ground to the owner as a third party is equally alarming.
the fact that parachute payments account for around of total Championship income shows how fragile the whole thing is.
It is little more than gambling.
It defies most common sense business principles that you allow such ridiculous wage levels and that you allow wages to fill any extra revenue. Nothing has been learnt from the collapse of the ITV deal.
all you see is clubs trying to find loopholes (like stadium sales, unrealistic sponsorship values) rather than address the issues.
Again press going on about a European suoerleague. Can kiss any PL clubs that don't make the cut goodbye as TV contract values plummet and all these clubs gambling on reaching the PL will be left high and dry - and the seemingly endless supply of overseas investors dries up as the appeal of PL football disappears.
As a traditionalist, this really irks me. There are some wonderful stadium names in our league system that get ruined by this. Perfect example being St Andrew's. Who the hell has time in their day to call it St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium?
Actually, it irks me in Cup competitions too. It may not be prestigious, but calling it the leasing.com trophy just sounds ridiculous.
Naming rights sponsorship is not the problem.
Creative accounting and reckless ownership is.
SISU are going about things the right and sustainable way. They should get credit for that.
