How about a cap on ticket prices and streaming fees? Anything that reduces costs for the supporters - the lifeblood of the game, so we are told.

Also liked him because if we managed to sell a bar of chocolate for a pound the amount got tallied for each person and the winner each month got noted and how well got tracked for your reviews over time and he always bought one even though he never came for that lol.
Also I've had mates who put money into highly volatile investments that could have ****ed them, like not just some of our savings they hedged alot but worked out and theyre ****ing loaded now, they have new friends in their posh new houses and see pics of them at posh restaraunts with these people, but at the same time they didn't forget their roots and when I still used to be able to go out each weekend the ones who didn't have kids yet still cam back along this way to our old pub then up the toon then back to a randoms house we met etc like we used to before they werre. The ones who had kids still came along for birthday things etc.
I think it may change some people but I think the persons brain is already wired that way, if they were even remotely middle class they would try and act like a prick and better than just your normal working class person, then level up if they get rich. If they're not then they have nothing to brag about yet but that thing inside them that changes them is already there. The people it turns into pricks mostly have their brains wired that way I think same with the people who dont when they become extremely wealthy.

Yeah unfortunately I do.
I’ve had dealings with quite a few rich people in my career - the decent characters stand out, because most of them are pricks.
Scientific research bares this out - most people get rich through family connections or sheer luck, but if you survey ultra high net worth folk they tend to believe their fortune is down entirely to their own talent and that they deserve every penny.
Wealth corrupts people - which is why capitalism is so dominant, of course.

I remember watching a documentary years ago about corruption in Brazillian football. One of the most outspoken critics of the investigation into it was Socrates, who rightly pointed out that the head of the investigation was also the owner of the wealthiest football club in Brazil. The owners would all meet in some smoky hotel somewhere and discuss/arrange the transfers of ordinary quality players to wealthy European clubs, at that time it was the likes of Inter Milan and some of the other Italian big teams. They'd sell them for exhorbitant fees and the slush fund would be split up evenly. Slightly different from what goes on nowadays, but there's one common factor - corruption at the highest levels of football, and it ain't gonna change anytime soon because we all still watch football and probably always will. I'm as guilty as the next person.
