[QUOTE="Ole1999, post: 76614, member: 6097"] Loving this thread idea btw. Season ticket holder at United here so I thought I’d throw in my two cents. The last 48-72 hours have been the craziest that I can remember in football. I think most fans are all in agreement with the absurdity of the ESL proposals. But at a deeper level, the ESL was the tipping point of a culmination of fan exploitation that has been going on for nearly 30 years in this country. From shockingly high ticket prices; £80 football shirts; 15,000 seat allocation in a 80,000 stadium for a cup final; heavily leveraged acquisitions of football clubs leading to insoutenable levels of debt; several paid subscriptions needed to watch your own team play (Sky, BT, Amazon...); ridiculous kick-off times; and a general growing disconnect between the fans and the club hierarchy. I hope the end of this ESL fiasco marks the beginning of a general push towards more fan-led growth in football. Whether that be adopting the 50 + 1 ownership model that is common in Germany, or whether the government step in with heavy regulation, the damage done to British football clubs and the entire pyramid needs to be addressed, and I anticipate will be addressed. Yesterday showed the power of the average football supporter in the face of JP Morgan-backed American businessmen who have been out of touch with British supporters for the past generation. From a commercial perspective, I would hope this is the start of the “ESG” era in football that has taken over other sectors. Those looking to buy football clubs and govern football clubs have now realised the societal impact of their decisions and I expect future sport legal advice offered to these clubs to account for this massively. (I hope.) Rant Over! [/QUOTE]
