Finance In Football

Football has irrefutably transformed over the years from the expertise that has been implemented, to the absolute amount of capital that has now been involved. The main question on everyone’s lips is why are they paid so much for simply playing football? Put that in contrast against working class people who master complex jobs, with a greater IQ, who will achieve great accomplishments in technology, science and other sources. Yet typical working class people receive £200 per week rather than £20,000 a week.

Football is a great game, and at times the players can be a real pleasure to observe or experience in the flesh. Watching the likes of Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho and Christiano Ronaldo at their finest is inspirational and enchanting, regardless of what team they play for they have the talent and skill to astound and amaze. However is it really worth £23 million a year? Realistically, the answer to that is no.

Jealousy definitely plays a part in all this, because let’s see who wouldn’t want to be paid £150,000 a week for playing football?

Nevertheless, you might say that footballers do something for the club, and they are the reason the club competes and performs to a certain level. Directors, chairmen and shareholders are probably ten times worse but aren’t under fire as much as the players, as they evade the limelight. It’s worth assessing the total they take home in payout, dividends and incentives, then comparing it with what they essentially do in their job role to deserve so much. If only they were brought more into consideration as much as football players the interest and focus would hastily turn.

The best steps to take now, is to go back to the basics of football and let the fans choose what happens. After all it’s the fans that make the sport what it is, without them, the game just wouldn’t be what it is today. So by removing all the needless measurements such as player agents and keeping things effortless, the game and all included would take great pleasure from it. The dilemma is this will never happen now because the game has advanced so far in terms of finances and there are so many people and businesses making too much money from the game to give it up.

Unfortunately this predicament can only get worse but at some point the bubble has got to burst. Each year the sport of football sways closer and closer to becoming a business rather than a sport, if it hasn’t already.
