Default It's the same story over again

Banks ..being run without money .. the con-men had it all !!
Government bail them out with our money to save their own arses !!
Government collusion with US banks !!
Big business cartels collude to hike prices (petrol, gas. electric) to make sure they get bonuses !
Irish bankers are still to get large bonuses even though they spent all their citizens money and that after they just got Europe to bail them out !

So it's no surprise to see Football with all it's high flying millionaires sucking the life blood from the game we all used to love ..
And now this ..
(An influential UK parliamentary committee said yesterday it is to make a wide-ranging investigation into debt problems in British football as part of a new inquiry into the running of the sport.


The inquiry by the Culture, Media and Sport select committee will examine whether there is too much debt in the professional game, whether the rules requiring owners to be "fit and proper persons" are adequate and whether there is any need for the government to intervene in the running of the game.


"The government has said that it will encourage the reform of football governance rules to support the co-operative ownership of football clubs by supporters, and there is widespread concern that the current governance arrangements are not fit for purpose," said committee chairman John Whittingdale.

Debt levels at major clubs such as Manchester United, and the recent court appearances of several clubs fighting administration have heightened government concerns.)
The days we all remember 60's, 70's, 80's, are long gone..
Money, greed and corruption it's all there to make the perfect recipe for disaster ..
Even when Gold and Sullivan took over West ham they couldn't believe the dept of 90 million
I stopped watching football when Rodney Marsh left the UK to America.
The last words he said on radio ..
"I don't recognise my country anymore, and the game I played is not the game we have here now" ..
Maybe he could see what was happening then, who knows, but the game now is all about money and backhanders, which brings us back to Banks and Government
