Football
I don’t know what you chaps think but I am fast losing interest in football (never thought I would say that). This started when Shinawatra took over City and hired Eriksson. Ill-gotten money given to a money grabber?? I stopped going to City at this time.
The world cup did briefly “wet my water” again, this was abruptly cut short when England played (sigh).
Recent events are not making football more appealing:
FIFA – corrupt to the core, I am not bothered about England getting the world cup but Qatar???
FA – corrupt to the core and probably taught FIFA all about it.
Newcastle were again becoming my Fav second team and then they sack Chris Hughton
Blackburn today sack Big Sam who is one of my fav managers and arguably one of the top two English mangers
this is not mentioning
ticket prices
sky/espn subscription costs
replica kit prices
I am beginning to think FC United have got it right. A community club for the community. They have just got planning permission to build a stadium near me. Cant say I will ever go (its still Utd FFS) but I hope they do well.
I suspect that the beginning of the end of international football has just begun with FIFAs short-sightedness and that a generation of football fans are being alienated. I don’t think that the same passion for football is present in the younger generation (young Herbie has no interest). Is this the beginning of the end for football as it is?
What do you think?
I for one am looking forward to the new season of Super League Rugby!!
