In
a recent BBC documentary in which Lord Alan Sugar (kind of)
tackled the financial problems in football, it was decided that the amount
of money that a footballer earns is the main financial issue for football
clubs. Sides such as Portsmouth (FA Cup
winners in 2008) and West Ham (FA Cup
runners-up in 2006) have both paid out high wages in pursuit of glory and,
while they may have got it in the short-term, with turnover falling, the wages
became too much to bear, with both sides being forced into a change of
ownership and both now plying their trade in the Championship. Both sides have
had to, and continue to, re-build.
