Football season 2024/2025

I find the disparity between grass roots football and the major leagues unacceptable and so much worse than the majority of other sports.

I totally agree more money needs to be spent and it looks like they are heading in the right direction, this was announced on 18 April -



The Premier League and The Football Association (The FA) have today announced an agreement that will increase funding to the football pyramid.

The League will provide up to £133million per season from the 2025/26 season, maintaining existing commitments and enhancing support to key areas of the game. The Premier League currently gives away £1.6billion every three years – 16 per cent of its total revenues – to all levels of men’s and women’s football, and this new money will provide significant support to a range of areas as the game continues to grow.

This commitment will see increased investment to both the Football Foundation and Premier League Stadium Fund to develop facilities at lower league clubs, improving the playing and spectator experience, as well as clubs’ financial sustainability. The funding will also create more opportunities for people with a disability to play football, and support the ongoing development of the girls' game.

In all fairness, Rafa was managing years ago so that chart is not relevant to his period at the club. He had a shoestring budget because he wasn't winning like the other clubs.

First thing the EPL/FA need to do is get rid of all the loop holes, clubs are going to get ruined with this new multi-club ownership model that seems to be the way most are going to avoid the spending rules.

United fans on 606 are saying Erik ten Hag has had 23 new players so the disappointing start to the season cannot be blamed on the squad, 1 win 1 loss is not good enough fans are calling for him to be sacked what do united fans here think?
