Domani: Crescono i debiti all’ombra del calcio inglese: la promozione a ogni costo fa male ai bilanci

Il successo del campionato di calcio più ricco al mondo è dovuto ai ricavi dei diritti tv, che però non trascinano le categorie minori: in dieci anni le società di Championship hanno bruciato oltre 3 miliardi nel (vano) tentativo di essere promosse. Ma anche ottenuto il posto in Premier, gli investimenti non bastano mai. Il caso Leicester e il saliscendi del Birmingham, tra introiti record e perdite monstre

Debts are growing in the shadow of English football: the promotion at any cost harms the balance sheets.

The success of the world’s richest football league is due to television rights revenues, which however don’t pull the lower divisions up: in ten years Championship clubs have burned over 3 billion (in vain) in the attempt to be promoted. But even getting a place in the Premier League, investments never suffice. The case of Leicester and the ups and downs of Birmingham, between record revenues and monstrous losses.

I dare not look out the curtains - the wind is fierce and I think i can hear rain battering on the window,
If this is correct then I hope the weather god's realise their mistake pretty quickly.

The Petanque club is due to be reopening today and I've planned to cycle down there.
The council have restored the electricity to the clubhouse although there are new problems with water to the men's toilets.
The committee have decided on a grand reopening at lunchtime today. The bar will be open and there's cut price crisps & chocolate (I suspect they're extremely short dated!).
It'll be good to get my chucking arm moving again - particularly Asim in a league match on Wednesday.

Sacha wants the car to visit one of her pals (and it is her car after all) so I'll take my eBike to the club at Western Park.

But I want it to be dry!

I hope your weather gods are more compliant than mine today.
