    Football has gone mad.

    It will all end badly. All bubbles burst eventually.

    This type thing always amazes me, as is the same when big businesses announce losses of millions or tens of millions of pounds,but somehow are allowed to continue trading. Yet the self employed or small business person who employ a small staff are not given any where near the leeway or help to carry on trading through a period of hard times.The banks/creditors are soon happy to close the small man down for thousands but let big companies continue to leach millions.

    Two things to bear in mind though with football clubs.

    Firstly, these are operating losses which do not take into account revenues produced by selling players.

    Secondly, it does not mean that the clubs are on the brink because you have to factor in the assets of a club such as the value of the ground and surrounding land, player value and other holdings. Usually these exceed any losses which mean that the club is solvent and viable.

    Also remember creative accounting. You dont pay tax on losses. #cynic
