But not for football

Awful.

What is the difference between an domestic Rugby Union team, and a team in the EFL?

Are you telling me some of those teams are not wealthier than Accrington Stanley?

Or F1, where the revenues are over £1.5bn a year, so £150k per team on average, and average salary of the drivers about £7M per season (the big earners are on up to £30M, which is £580k per week). Very much equivalent to the PL scale of things.

They're hardly short of money - again it's the same issue as football with vastly inflated costs on salaries especially.

It's not F1. It's the circuits, a lot of which host other events like Bike racing, BTCC, track days etc. F1 is one weekend a year for just one of them.

Realistically speaking football should be able to afford to support itself, only it doesn't. Not sure if financial subsidy from Governments would impinge on interference rules either, like the fuss we had over the council's involvement in the stadium funding.

Oops, fair enough. That''s what happens when I only look at the headlines.
