Premier leagues get 5.14 billion quid tv right right or wrong

Now personally i wouldn't have a problem if we had a respectable England team on the international stage. But the fact that we are mediocre at best shows the money is being wasted.

No it doesn't. It shows that the money is not being applied to producing a strong England team. Its being spent on buying in non-English players. Because the needs of the club system are not aligned with those of the national team.

I do think your right Ray. But from my personal point of view i think the money is being wasted because if you have all that money. surely you could have invested in some decent enough grass roots infrastrucure to get a team capable of winning the world cup and not only that world class english or british players
,i dont care which of the 4 nations they come from as long as they are playing in the premier league.

It so short sighted to just buy foreign players for the upcoming season due to the win at all costs or survive at all costs, but if they invested properly in developing grass roots players we could over a length of time produce home grown talent at a fraction of what they paying now.
I was listening to radio 5 today which is where i heard this. There was a survey by the independent football trust and only 5% of what would termed grass roots foootball clubs/pitched were deemed upto standard.

The premier league was founded 1992 so to me its just unforgivable that they care more about money than football. Its not about the beautiful game anymore its all about the wonga.

although to be fair if Oldham were top of the Premier league owned by a rich oligarch or sheik i wouldnt be writing this :0) thats how fickle we supporters are.

The big earners in football are the agents, people forget they are there..

I just wish we could start again, and players who represented their club would have to be born and bred in that clubs catchment area.
When my Grandfather died, all but two of Celtics European cup winning side attended his funeral, as he used to do most of their gardens when he retired from the pit.
Wouldn't happen now.

Money is getting silly, but IMO the money needs to be spent on the Grassroots! Apparently England should be challenging for World Cup on next stage - not a chance that will happen
