Player Wages
This isn't a moan about how much the top stars of the game get paid, that's for another time.
I think the top earners are earning around £300,000 or more.
How high do you think the wages will rise to? I heard Man City offered Ronaldo £400,000 a week last year but he turned it down, but he said it did turn his head.
Surely there has to be a glass ceiling. It can't keep rising. Can it?

You can close the thread right there because that perfectly sums up the whole thing.
While the broadcasters continue to pay record amounts with each new 3-year deal, then wages (and transfer fees) will naturally continue to rise.
Even simple things no longer matter because they have so much money so as soon as the Barclays deal ends, it'll no longer be a sponsored league because they don't need the trivial amounts it brought in. It'll be known simply as 'The Premier League'.
Who would have thought someone can earn over £200,000 a week playing football back in the 70's and 80's.
FIFA and football clubs siege on this potential and exploit them: take players to Europe, publicise them, tour in their countries and spread brand awareness = More money.
Also, just imagine the second explosion of wealth from Asia & Australia - That's One billion people there. Wages will sky rocket if they can crack these territories.
