How the hell did we go from this to Alexis Sanchez?

[@camdened123456]

A willingness to consume at cost from the fans. A fear of missing out from Manchester United. A player with a good bargaining stance in Alexis Sanchez. There's a lot of money in football. Manchester United thought Alexis Sanchez would help them gain more of it by increasing on field success (/Denying Manchester City another good player). Alexis Sanchez had only 6 months on his contract so the transfer fee was small. (Think of his salary as £200k a week + £40m transfer and people, at the time, wouldn't have batted an eyelid).

I thought you would have mentioned Sunderland in this video regarding them breaking the Maximum wage regulations after Trevor Ford's autobiography revealed that he and other players at the clubs were receiving illegal payments and gifts from the club. Quite a number of wealthy board members were suspended from football (Sunderland were know as "the Bank of Engalnd" club in the 40s and 50s due to the high transfer fees they were paying), along with Trevor Ford. Sunderland were relegated a season later, in 1958 for the 1st time in their history and you could say they have never recovered this, as they have only finished in the top 10 of the top flight 3 times after this incident.

Why

[@parkylol]

The principles are the same as before, it becomes a case of who's willing to pump more money into their club to win ( look at city and Chelsea for example ). Also the scale is drastically different now. Back in the 60's, the average income was £25/ week , so if a player earns £100/ week it's 4 times the average wage. Average wage now is around £600/ month now, and players are easily getting more than 20 times that, in some cases almost 100 times ! only the elite can afford it and it stifles competition.

[@m2k16]

I don't think that it will help much with the competition. Many teams will still be considered prestigious and will get the best players. It won't allow smaller teams to grow by offering more money to players who otherwise won't consider joining them.

These salary cap rules work only for closed leagues

@@seanward98 Agree to some degree, although with a cap on players wages clubs with new rich owners may find it harder to get the best players available in my mind.

At this point I don't know what we can do about it. As long as there is so much money coming in some leagues there won't be an incentive to change. Also for the biggest clubs all this money left in profits will be taken out of the game by the owners.

3:55 are these supposed to be British newspapers' headlines? "Soccer"?

[@aodhgano.9531]

soccer came from association football. i believe some newspapers used soccer to distinguish from association rugby and Gaelic football, although i might be wrong

Just like Alexis Sanchez salary 400000£ per week and he is doing nothing for the club

[@deadmansfire]
