Jeopardises other clubs.
It is like Sainsburys opening up next door to an off licence.
Forces other clubs to seek investment to survive. [Post edited 29 Jan 2023 23:12]

what a load of rubbish. who does it jeopardise? Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Everton? That's who a lot of people in the area follow.
It's like any other club being invested in, the fact they're outside the league means that they're building over time and doing it sensibly, a lot of their investment has also been into the infrastructure and ground as well as the community. |  | | |

Does it? All football clubs can be run within their means and find models that suit them.
Did Blackburn's investment under Jack Walker run another club into the ground or force others to find investors? The same with Chelsea under Abramovic, or Man City or Salford or our own investment?
How are clubs like Plymouth doing what they are doing without that investment? |  |

Upvoted by mistake.
Totally disagree with that opinion. |  | | |

English football, including most of its beloved "pyramid", has operated like that for years. Mr local businessman buys a club, throws unsustainable money at it, takes them up a couple of tiers & it often finishes with the club in administration and/or losing its ground. |  |

Wrecsam? Who are they going to interfere with? Llantysilio Wanderers? Llanarmon-yn-lal Town? The Ruithin Close Singing Harmony Choir?
Good luck to em. Always had time for their fans. |  | | |

What a load of sh!te.
I’m not sure why clubs like Wrexham and Salford get hate, owners that have come in and invested time, money and passion should be applauded not shot down. |  |

You're right on the whole. Its arms race paid for ultimately by the fans / tv consumers, although at the lower levels, I can't really blame individual owners trying it. . |  |

Further, does Sainsbury opening next door to an off licence by necessity cause the off licence to seek investment to survive? Surely they would need to find ways to be competitive, offer a wider range and market their personal customer service. | |

Hmmm, on my local high street, a Tesco Express opened up across the road from a new Sainsbury’s, which is a couple of doors down from an off license.
All doing well, so ummmm….yea…that’s not a thing. |  | | |

Whereas go to Great Yarmouth town centre and find it decimated, cos loads of big shops opened on the outskirts. | |

The Wrexham that knocked us out of the cup in 1995 and have played in Europe? |  | | |

I think it’s the dirty syringes and Norfolk inbreeds that’s decimated it.
Not Tesco. | | | |

On the broad point of football being corrupted by money, agreed. A bit odd to single out Wrexham though. I bet the fans don’t care either - must be great being one of their fans right now after years of mediocrity. A bit like us really. |  |

You need to go back to the 90's really when this sort of thing started really kicking off
Not that it hasn't always happened in football, it's just worked it's way down the pyramid with more regularity [Post edited 30 Jan 2023 1:37]

I’d agree that exploiting some Welsh obsessives for a gratuitous docudrama is a tad unkind - but it’s a win win at the moment until their glass ceiling is reached and the taffs turn on their saviours. | |
