Football has always been about greed. The original Football clubs, were English Public Schools that would dominate the sport. Before professionalization of the sport, they had the resources, and their players didn't have to work full time so they could dedicate themselves to beating us "working class" clubs. Then the owners of northern clubs, would relocate amateur footballers to their local factories so they could play for their clubs. The sport got popular with the masses, and with the extra revenue they could continue to attract the best talent ,and before you know the modern English game was born and the old public school teams were no more.
People moan about new money flooding into the game, you could argue its always been some sort of closed shop. Liverpool is a massive club, and we have had major advantages over other club due to being based in international footballing city compared to others in the UK. The likes of hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, billionaires shouldn't have been let lose on the sport, but like everything else in this country we don't have the imagination or political will to do anything.
Football is one of the few things we have common with each other, from inner cities to old pit towns, older generations mixing with youth, different political leanings. It brings people together, people proud to support their local club/ area. I'd love to see us reform the sport for the majority, but there is more chance me winning on next Fridays Euromillions. You are just left "meh". "Oh Dear" as Adam Curtis would say.
Football does need changing, the current model is fucked, but this is change in the wrong direction. Hopefully, fans of all background rally against this.
