I read somewhere about some football financial guru is convinced that at least one Premier League team will not just go into admin this season but will actually go out of business. So we are not the only ones in doodoo.

My feeling is that many clubs will go bust and the rest of the lower league clubs that do survive will have to go part time. Essentially what we will be left with in years to come is one super league made up of franchised clubs along the lines of American Football, no promotion no relegation, boring. Lots of pretty girls dancing with pom poms though :lol:
