Kaka

So the transfer merry go round has started and started in spectacular style with Kaka going to Real Madrid for a record 62 million pounds  and wages of £200,000 pounds a week. I said it before and I will bore you and repeat it again its a nonsense how can any club pay that amount of wages to one player esp a club that has done nothing for the last couple of a seasons. do you they believe that Kaka alone will win them the league and champions league this season? well if he does then he is worth that money but I suspect  they will need to buy other players to and what do you pay them. OK maybe they will not all be on 200,000 but they will all be on huge wages that in turn will raise wages in other leagues. Where will that money come from. It can only come from one place the fan. But this is not a bottomless pit when the fan can no longer afford to support his team the gates will shrink.  The player is safely locked into his contract and gets paid regardless but the club then has to get into debt to keep finance the wage bill and that is when clubs start to go to the wall I wrote in an earlier post of the death of football see http://durdensview.blogspot.com/2009/06/did-football-die-today.html. And I see no reason to change my mind.
