| Tiivistelmä: | The paper states that for all but a glorious handful of England soccer clubs, the beautiful game has turned sour, if not downright ugly. Bankruptcy and debt stalk many hallowed grounds and answers the question what has brought the teams to this desperate pitch. The paper also states that Man United CEO Peter Kenyon has predicted that fewer than half the 92 soccer league clubs will survive the financial crisis besetting English football - a predicament manifested by the sorry state of grounds such as Saltergate (pictured), home of third division Chesterfield. The clubs' problems have been blamed on the ill-fated ITV Digital deal, but they have more to do with naive cost control by managements living impossible dreams. |
