You're so right. The corrupt HMRC are in the pocket of the RFL's Mr Big Richard Lewis. It's a conspiracy I tell thee

To be honest they could try for the next 100 yrs and the game will not expand.Union and football will never die.I prefer see teams like Fax etc in Superleague or Barrow where they play in schools and local teams.

I disagree completly.
Football will implode sooner or later it has to it cannot keep going in it's current state.
Millionares/Billionares will find a new playthings and even if they dont no one can tell me that the currect wages are in anyway sustainable.
That sport has HUGE problems and when it finally goes BANG which it will it will be a BIG BANG.

Having read the article .. It sounds like a genuine "miss understanding/miss comunication..

Time 4 everyone to take a chill pill...

I want what you are drinking.

That is why in the Premiership Man Utd sold out 70 odd thousand,Arsenal near 60,000,Liverpool 44000, and possibly 60,000 if got a new stadium.Man Utd just offered 250,000 grand a week to Rooney.Rugby league is not expanding, just look at london still not averaging over 4000 in a capital.In my opinion that is shocking. Too far - Alex You just do not like to see a team like Widnes in Superleague, so jog on. London has had many chances and Widnes have been ted on big time.I am based down south, so i think i know if they like Rugby league.
People like you just come on a Widnes board to stir things up, and really your just a prick.

Nice. Glad I didn't voice an opinion different to yours.

So football dieing?I do not think so.He is a HKR fan who clearly hates Widnes.A capital like London should be attracting an average near to 8000 if was expanding.Obviously they go and watch football,rugby union etc.I was based in London for 8 yrs so i know they are not interested in rugby league.It is just a few thousand out of 7 million people.

Debt is also relative to income. Those figures look big, but so too is their income. Much of the debt has also been placed on their books via the "purchase" of the club. The debt hasn't been run up via trading, despite the sizeable pay grades of soccer players. Soccer won't implode - it's BskyB's biggest draw.

It maybe Sky's biggest draw but it also recives by far the biggest slice even Sky will only pay so much.

I fail to see how the debt is listed makes much diffrence its either debt or it isn't.
Take Liverpool as an example I would imagine the debt was listed in just the way you mentioned that still didnt' stop RBS getting twitchy and asking for the money back, That would have put LFC in administration not their American owners.

Also Mr rooney now gets £1/4M a week, Can you guess whats going to happen next?
I would imagine most of the top earners at Chelsea and M City are going to start saying 'My turn now and if hes getting £250,000 a week I want £300,000' and I bet they get it this them once again will make all the lesser players in the prem's agents get even better monies for their average players.
There is one thing that I failed to mention and that is that apart from the Sky cash their is a finite amount of money the clubs can get from their customers due to the price fans will/can pay for tickets and once that point is reached clubs will start folding whilst still in the prem at that point the sport WILL go POP as even billionares will only stump up so much.
