A question for ed1 and 2 if I may. With the recent failings of this breakaway league do you still think that something will change in football? Personally I think something had to give with the rising transfer fees, agents fees and players wages all becoming silly. For me that's where things need to change first and then probably fifa/ eufa and the fa need to change and become a little more translucent on their dealings. Money is ruining football and I can only see it getting worse. I'd be interested to hear your views on how to improve it and if you actually think it will improve or get worse.

Thankyou in advance

Mate if it's about money no one's going to budge🤔.

I wonder if the higher end players may look to run down their contracts so that moves are still possible. Clubs are still looking for top end money that doesn't seem to be available.

All running down contracts will do is move the money into agent fees and higher wages. What needs to happen first is that it should be made compulsory that a player pays their agent fees. I honestly think this solves a lot of problems as it means the player has a much stronger vested interest in who their agent is and when the agent goes in asking for 30 mill on the side the player either pays it or tells their agent to go f themselves.

It would stop at least one aspect where the clubs are literally being held to ransom in some of these deals to get them over the line.

The thing about that is that players would then ask for higher signing on fees. I think if the agent fees were capped and the player had to pay them, that might work in combination?

it was just about security of income that's all. Look at the impact dropping out of top 4 has on clubs and the time and money it takes to catch back up.

It's just about money and when money is available wages, fees and transfers go up. Not sure how it works any other way.

The number of games needs to be addressed or this will come up again in another format.
