    I dipped into this at 38:23. Simon said the following:
    You're sort of forecasting this dystopian future where football becomes something that is simply an end game for people with nefarious motives, or alternative intentions. Everyone's got an intention. Very few people have got an intention simply to do it for the love of football, right? Everyone wants to get something from it. So with that in mind, I've just given you a case in point where Luton in our leagues have proven the point that there is still the value of football being built in a certain way for the people from the people because of the people, right? Yeah. And we don't we don't, we don't lose the vibrancy of football, by the nature of ownership models that might have different intentions. We we we muddy the messages sometimes and we allow the broadcast world to fulfil the outcomes when we're constantly being listening to broadcasters pumping societal messages through football. You and I have discussed this on other platforms about the nature of football being leverage for other people's agendas and how that should be or could be a would be or shouldn't be. Yeah, in my view on the agenda...
    This is just waffle. This is not an intelligent person talking. Intelligent people make clear points in succinct language.

    I can assure you that I do not envy the Premier League. I support a 2nd division team here in Germany. That's your premiership I believe. I'm not a leftist, actually far from it, but Russell has a good point. I am in awe of Man City's sporting achievement, and I take my hat off to everyone working there. BUT they ARE going to dominate the Premier League and the Champions League for years to come. Not even Munich or Barca can compete. Football culture? Over here, the huge choreographies and the fireworks are financed and created by fans in nightshifts. There is still stands, and everyone can still get in for a 10 quid. What's the situation like in Manchester? The choreographies are financed by some dodgy owner, and the atmosphere is appalling if they are not winning. The fans attending are not aficionados, they are clients. I do not envy England. Growing up, it was the promised land. I remember watching the highlights, with Barnes and Fowler for Liverpool. Seeing it now, it is just sad to see how commercialized it has become. Russell is right. "It does not mean anything anymore".

    • @DeanRTaylor
      @DeanRTaylor 11 місяців тому +2

      I think the point Russell was making is that perhaps the commercial side of things shouldn't be above everything else. If all the premier league stars moved to saudi arabia I'd still rather watch my local team in the third division than tune into the saudi league because it feels like you're a part of something.
      If the entire pyramid falls because the premier league moves to an f1 style calendar then that would be an absolute travesty. Simon argues that regulation kills industry but actually it preserves industry. It just prevents absolute commercialisation of certain areas of industry. The same can be said of water or electricity which Russell does touch on.

    • @PWMoze
      @PWMoze 11 місяців тому

      @@DeanRTaylor I don't disagree, but Russell's argument rested on the idea of those public assets being 'taken' from those who currently own them. In a revolution that might be possible but in the normal course of events that would involve the state buying them back. I presume at great expense.
      In the same way, buying extremely valuable football clubs off ruthless international (mostly American) corporate entities and wealthy soveriegn nations (mostly oil rich Arab states) would most likely be ruinessly expensive?
      Even taking back water and power into public ownership would only be possible with huge outlay of public funds. Given the current state of our economy, its hard to imagine football teams being very high on the nation's shopping list, even if there was popular consent for the idea (which I doubt).
      As much as I'd support it, t's a bit of a dream at the moment isn't it?

    Josh Windass learned his trade at Aberdeen... A team that suffers heavily from the current financial structuring of the English Premier league. As Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom, and the media outlets therein... the divvying of the pot and self justification of the stranglehold has meant that once European Champions have been left a few bounced cheques away from bankruptcy. They were the last team in Scotland outwith the Old Firm to win the now monopolistic Scottish Premier League... in 1984... Which is also a very good read.

    Smaller clubs tend to maintain their grass roots nature due to the lack of exposure to the corporate influence. Also their fans are generally concentrated in their local geographic.
    I would like to see the wrexham owners on this show.
    Thanks
