It's supply and demand. It's marketing. It's everything that supports FIFA's objective of making football the most popular game on the planet (an objective you'd expect from any governing body). Until the fans decide that they don't like the product and stop pouring their hard earned cash into it the beast will only keep getting bigger. It's the entertainment industry at its zenith. It attracts big investors and billionaires in what is a free market economy. Walk away if you don't like it. Choose to stay and complaining is futile. @Karaoke: It’s business. It’s supply and demand.

What I can't believe is: footballers actually believe they are worth that much. Ronaldo compared himself and other top players to cars, the better they are, the more you have to pay. I just don't understand how prices are so inflated now. It just makes it so much harder for smaller clubs to do well in the top flight. It is the cause for dominance by the top four clubs.
