Bury FC and Bolton FC

[Lizzie Zoom]

Well, none of you men have commented on this sad saga.

Great northern football clubs, with superb history and pedigree, going under......perhaps??

Now I have little interest in football, but from a commercial point of view I am very interested.  What has, and is going wrong?  How many other FC's could also go the same way?

Is it passion, and stupidity, ignoring the need to make a profit in this business?  Will the only FC's left be the great ones, like Liverpool, Machester United, Arsenal, etc?

[Andy B]

I know.  2 of the oldest clubs too

You have enough 'excess wealth' to save them both, Mr Beanz.

Used to be a great team.......when Queen Vicky held the reins.

Yeah...well......back in the seventies and eighties they won it every year.

Ticket prices too high?

Too much commercialism?

Footballer remuneration too high?

Lets see what the gurus say.

Do they not suffer with having Man U / Man C so close to them ? also Bolton has staggered from one financial crisis to another for a few years now

Any man who can afford a Merc finished in a fetching shade of seventies BL brown can't possibly be short of a bob or two.

Basically, the Premier League and Championship to a lesser extent have destroyed everything else.

Cap the wages of all, and I think we'd see more smaller clubs flourish, rather than just half a dozen super rich clubs.
