While I do actually agree with you, Arthur, the problem is (in the Premiere League at least) that the clubs spend so much on their players, and pay salaries that are so high, that most of the Premiere League is heavily in debt. £800 million in the case of Chelsea.

Apparently, the average premiere league spends 70% of it's annual turnover on salaries. It's scary to think that a multi million pound company can spend 70% of it's annual turnover on the salary of probably less than 20 people (players, subs, manager coach etc).
Personally I think something needs to be done partly because it's not fair on the fans and partly because if something should happen that caused Sky to reconsider it's position on Premiere League footy, then a lot of the clubs will find their debts unsustainable.
