Thought for the year!
Will 2025 mark the year the financial flow in football finally starts being fairer?
Over 20 years, the gap has grown nine fold!
It could happen, but it depends on our politicians caring about all the clubs in the pyramid and their communities

Premier League owners control football’s financial flow
In last 20yrs EPL & pyramid gap has soared
To compete clubs:
🏃♂️Spend more on player wages than they get in revenue
✂️ Cut cap ex projects
✂️ Cut community programmes
📈 Raise ticket prices
