The value of United was too high for fans to buy it about 15 years ago. United are not going to go through a very bad financial spell as the Glazers commercial department are getting in ridiculous deals. Having bad results on the pitch, like not qualifying for the knock out stages of the Champions League last season hasn't had a major bearing on the debt.

Any sort of a boycott on a major scale is not going to happen at a large English club simply because there is too many individual interests rather than a group mentality. One United fan from Manchester or Mayo might want to still go to OT each season and support his/her team while another will boycott it. Is the person who boycotts a better supporter? No, but neither is the guy who goes, it's an individual choice. Isn't that what MUST preaches too? Your point is based on there being a boycott but it's not realistic at all.

Clubs in England can go on the way they are because the Premier League is a money making machine and there is no law to stop anyone buying a club. Do you also really think United or Liverpool will have low attendances in ten years? The world is in economic crisis but they are still selling out games and making unbelievable deals at a premier league level with TV rights and at a club level like United's deal with Chevrolet, Arsenal's with Emirates, etc.

It's all good and well saying fans like United's should show some backbone or that there should be a rule brought into English football like the one in Germany but it's not going to happen and fans who go on about boycotts, or inviting FC United's board up for talks and the like should realise that.

Personally, I don’t have must time for must.

 

We will see! I have had this debate on here a few times.

 

I think the premiership bubble is going to burst eventually – may not be 5 years from now, not 10 years – but it will eventually.

 

I put up a link here before of an analysis done on the make up of supporters that go to the premiership which was done a few years ago. The average age of supporters that go to premiership matches was in the 40s

 

Ticket prices are too dear for quite a lot of people – especially families. Whereas older people were brought up on a culture of going to football matches week in, week out all their lives, they are going to try that bit harder to make the matches (I know of united supporters who remortgage their houses for their season tickets ffs)

 

Younger supporters coming through aren’t brought up on that culture – they might go every now and then, and watch the rest in the pub. But a lot of them wont be brought up on that culture of going week in, week out at all costs!

 

Eventually clubs will cop on and reduce prices – but as the younger people today weren’t brought up on a culture of going every week, it will be too late.

 

Lower attendance = lower tv money = lover advertising,etc

 

(bigger clubs that rely on a lot of overseas supporters won’t be hit as hard obviously)

 

Obviously we may have to revisit this thread when we have pace makers to prove that I was right Thumbs Up

I think the only way the bubble will burst is if clubs get selfish and try and go it alone with TV rights. As long as they stick together with the premier league, the money will be there from both domestic and international TV rights.

Clubs are more powerful now than ever, as you can see from FIFA getting rid of that stupid international friendly in August from 2014 to keep them happy.

I'll disagree with you on lower attendance = lower TV money. Stadiums could be empty and the TV money would still come in. What does someone in Malaysia care if the stadium is empty or full, they want to watch the team they support.

The companies that advertise on pitch side aren't Boddingtons or Harvey Norman, they are global brands like Nike, Carlsberg, Heineken, Sony, Samsung, etc. They don't give a sh*t about someone at the stadium seeing their brand, their target audience is someone in the likes of Tanzania or Asia.

If we're both still on ybig when it comes pace maker times, you can have my heart if it's still up to it! Thumbs Up

Will this go to a replay or does it have to finish tonight?
