The Fosun Bubble...

[coxy134]

Crowds will dwindle or are dwindling at lots of clubs. Its just to expensive to simply watch football and not expect to see promotion, cup wins titles etc. Kids today want to support a glory team, much like a fashion and cant stand the stick from school/workmates about supporting a team that isn't doing well. I will be interested whether long term crowds will really return in vast numbers long term. Have youngsters during lockdown shifted their interest into Fifa rather than watching a game.

 Who would invest with that uncertainty? 

Any company/owner who buys any business is looking for a payback (5years?)
Wolves havent achieved much more than we did when we finished at our best, yet spent far more, Villa the same. Football clubs are to much of an uncertainty unless its owned by a owner who simply wants to burn money.

According to John Richardson's Can We Have Our Football Back, attendances in Leagues One and Two have actually grown by 10% over the last ten years.

However, I agree that investing in a football is generally a mug's game. Unless you are into money laundering...

I did mean to mention that, yes I think its because some of us who just enjoy a saturday afternoon game of football and a pint are fed up with the pressure of relegation and promotion, the expectation of buying players that we dont, monday night games, VAR etc, looking at results all on the same day. TV has and will kill saturday footy. 

I often thought myself about just going to watch Kiddy or Walsall.
