really we have much bigger problems to worry about

There are many blogs and sites that now attest to and record the biased behaviour of the BBC. HM loyal opposition should not have to go to internet campaigning in the absence of fair reporting from the BBC to have dissenting opinion heard, but if that is what is required then that is what should be done; so as to best serve those people who oppose this Government and its communications wing, the BBC.

By the way, Doug Carswell MP seems equally displeased with the BBC today and seems to be advocating non-payment of the licence fee on his blog as a means of protest.

The football league does deduct points if a club goes into administration. The business model for a football club is based on being a fan and I fail to see how most would exist if funded by a normal business model (which involves keeping staff costs firmly under control).

It is clearly only a matter of time (maybe until the end of the season maybe) before financial reality hits this sport.

Why should a highly skilled sports man who kicks a ball around a pitch for entertainment be paid so much more than say a doctor or a nurse who save many lives?

There is a fundamental inequality here.

dont be silly

if an employer (a football club or a record company) wants to offer an aritist talent (a footballer or rock star) too much money to work for them its very much the football clubs or record companies fault and not the fault of the footballer or rock star

economics in both are not as black and white as you think, you attract the right rock stars to your label and others follow making them worth more than their sales, theres a whole set of secondary factors

if i was a rock star i wouldnt waste any time trying to “identify millions in revenues” that i am afraid is in most models the record companies problem, although changing with downloads etc but still largely too

and its the same with footballers

you forget how much the well chosen rock stars earn the record companies, and that more than covers all the ones who loose money for them, and this complex little equation works for football clubs too

and then you have the dynamic that many clubs are owned as tropheys and are not strictly run on commercial lines, if some wants to run a racehorse at a loss as fun thats their problem, and if club shareholders want to do the same likewise

so i think your all mixed up on this one

and the johns deacons, john entwistles, etc etc have made the country a lot more money than most “successful entrepreneurs making good returns”

being a entrepreneur is not the only way to contribute to the economy or to be financially worth lots of money

i would have thought conservatives would support such folk

Reply: I am all infavour of people with talent and crowd pulling power earning big money. I am not in favour of overborrowed businesses paying their employees too much and ending up bankrupt, unable to repay their loans.

football got aborbed by corperatism and as such taken away from the people, it’s time reality was brought back to the game and it was given back to the people.
