Modern Football, part 96...

The money is skewing everything. Fans demand owners always find more and more and more of it despite lots of proof it guarantees absolutely nothing. Clubs get into desparate trouble. The FA has (finally) taken (a few weak) steps against gambling companies but a lot of its most prominent member clubs are addicted to this kind of gambling themselves. The downside risk is too much. When a club goes under it's not just a company going broke, it's a whole community taking the hit for risks they themselves didn't agree to. Luckily - and it's not our doing as fans it really is pure luck - our owners are not so stupid.
