Comments on: Premier League Meltdown? http://soccerlens.com/premier-league-meltdown/14769/ Soccerlens - Football News You Can Trust Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:26:47 -0800 http://soccerlens.com/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: BD Condell http://soccerlens.com/premier-league-meltdown/14769/comment-page-1/#comment-105670 BD Condell Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:49:14 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/?p=14769#comment-105670 Another article that is high on statements and low on fact. It doesn't even begin to support the dramatic headline. "While it looks shiny and sparkly on the surface, its construction history is a story of irresponsible over-spending and negligence. The Premiership’s financial recklessness could catch up and bite teams" Where are the facts to support this statement? People endlessly comment in generalisations on this subject. Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool are worth FAR more(many multiples) than most of the other clubs. Their valauation, revenue and profit are all directly relevant to their debt and printing their combined debt number without going much deeeper into the full financial picture is meaningless and misrepresents the situation. I could go on but but the space is limited. Another article that is high on statements and low on fact.
