With Wayne Rooney in world class form, an exciting title chase unfurling and plenty of action and controversy on and off the pitch, it is clear that the Premier League has lost none of its power to enthral. But what about its financial position? Now that Portsmouth has gone into administration, will more clubs go the same way? And what's got Liverpool and Manchester United so upset with their owners?I chose this topic for my latest column at Dubai business portal Alrroya.com and called it "Football in Recession".
Actually my rather undramatic conclusion was that most clubs will be OK if they take action now to reduce their wage bills. Of the big clubs, Liverpool have the most to worry about though Man United might struggle to compete for top players with their huge annual interest rate bill (good news for everyone else particularly their wealthy neighbours Man City). My main suggestion was that clubs should have to ask permission from the FA before taking on additional debt and this should only be granted if the debt is affordable and in the interests of the club.
