... In the first season of the Premiership, as the new top flight in English football, wage bills rose by on average 250%.
- Football is now regarded as a huge business, with vast sums of money being passed around to buy players, build stadiums, and secure sponsorship deals and merchandising contracts. ...
- Another worry is that now there is effectively only one major bidder for live football screening rights for television. If BSkyB decides that the publics love affair with professional football is cooling down, and they become less profitable from live broadcasts, it could lead to smaller sums of money being paid for live screening rights in the future.
Slide 5 – Ethical Issues
Young Players:
- Football can be seen as being detrimental to a child’s education, as Youth Training Scheme players may leave school sooner to chase the big money offered, even to 17 year olds. ...
Fans:
- Football has now become a business as well as a sport, and the new ‘Corporate Image’ of the game has driven away many true fans of the sport.
However
- Some people argue that with all the money in football, the players are entitled to the lions share of it, as they are the people who ‘take to the field’ every week and make the game what it is. ...
- A key moment in the debate may come in three years time, if the Football Association can only issue playing licenses to financially sound clubs. ... The problem is that as we have seen in the past, the demand is so huge in football, that if left to market forces, these sums of money needed to attract high-profile players will continue to rise and we could see no limit to the wages of these such players.
