Premier League financial doping happened long before the…Premier LeagueIt makes me laugh that supporters of the alleged elite take a virtuous stance towards the nouveau riche of the Premier League.
Football grounds at even the top clubs, were literally hovels. Increased revenue was needed to improve the stadiums. SKY needed something to get people to buy their product. There wasn’t much appetite for subscription TV in the country. It was, is, expensive and suffered significant technological difficulties. People weren’t buying.
The owners, of the clubs floated, made small fortunes by today’s standards but the local butcher who was fortunate to have some shares stuck in a drawer somewhere, became significantly wealthy. It would be unfair to say that these people had no interest in football. It would be unfair to say their only motivation was money. Ultimately who knows.
