Some of the ones in SL will go out if business too, not just the ones out of it.

He always did talk out of his , Sport is a business, if clubs go bust its just tough other clubs will come along.

bull Murph talks sense and was the best number 7 ever and the cleverest, doubt there will ever be one as good.

Think you'll be in the minority there. Rings even more true today when reading the article; frightening that it was forecasted 15 years ago.

Think you'll find that sport is... well, sport actually.

Try life down here cock it aint so pleasant.

Does he have a chrystal ball

I assume then that we can live without paying players, charging at the turnstyle, taking money from Sky etc etc?


Nope, thought not.

Sport is not business.

It has to be run with some business rules, but it is sport and not business.

If sport were business, then most clubs simply would not exist, as they do not turn a profit and there is little possibility of ever turning a profit.

There are not as many money sinks in the business world as there are in the sporting world - simply because it is sport and is about competition, not profit.

If it is a business,I think your clubs financial reports would make interesting reading over the years,our current Chairman baled you out years ago.

Extremely successful on the field but not spent a penny off it,I envy all your trophies but that does not mean you have the right to belittle other clubs who frankly are ran as bad or well as Saints but do not have the Sky money to support them each year.

Absolutely uncanny read!!

AJM displays Nostrodamus like foresight!!
