Nice Article. Avoiding the Drop is certainly the status quo for most clubs on low budgets.

Very good post. I’ve found your site via Google and I’m really glad about the information you provide in your posts. Btw your blogs layout is really messed up on the Kmelon browser. Would be great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!

[...] Is This the Future of Football? “Today we present the first in a multipart series of articles focused on some of the financial problems facing football leagues across the world- especially those in smaller countries. By the end of the series it will become clear that many of these financial problems are the result of a century and a half old organizational model that simply cannot cope with the realities of the modern football and the modern financial world. Having highlighted the ways in which this model has increasingly come up short when faced with the unique problems presented by the sporting and financial landscape of the twenty-first century, we will offer a number of possible solutions which will help to ensure the future stability of the game, both on and off the pitch. As always, we here at Avoiding the Drop look forward to your comments, questions, and criticisms.” (Avoiding the Drop) [...]

Maybe the whole thing grew a bit too big? Both in Scotland and south of the border?

I mean there is way too much money involved in the English Premier League.

Strange that now even Celtic and Rangers seem to struggle with finances, even they have solid income from European play every season.

Maybe it was just a mistake for “smaller teams” to pay high wages to attract talent from abroad? I mean how could a small place like Inverness “produce” enough revenue to pay a wage roll including several international players?

Would be sad to see several teams in Scotland crashing, but I wouldn’t be sad to see some “big” European clubs who overspent crash.

Therefore I also wouldn’t say world football is in a crisis.

Great posting btw!

I have a bit of a soft-spot for them, so unless they do something stupid…

I’d love it if they could find 1980-1985 again and make the SPL at least a three horse race!
