We're Going Down The Pub!

Talk about David and Goliath! A pub landlady from Pompey takes on the Premier League and Sky and wins, securing the right to use a Greek supplier for her satellite football coverage. So not content with bringing the World Economy to its knees, the Greeks may now be on the brink of throwing a mighty great spanner into the financial modelling of football in England.

There will be much bleating about the threat this poses to the game but there is a very simple solution of course - stop paying such obscenely high wages to the players. Maybe, just maybe, this will serve as a reality check for the game. We can already watch football free of charge on the net, now we may be able to watch live Premiership games on a Saturday afternoon in the local pub. And why wouldn't we when such obscene prices are charged to get into the stadiums?

It's time for football to return to the people!
