There was only one topic I was going to talk about this week. It’s not Wayne Rooney’s dive against Preston or Arrigo Sacchi’s “I’m not a racist but...” comment (although that should not be ignored).

It is Sky Sports’ and BT Sports’ multi-billion deal with the Premier League. You can argue with the exact figures and say it is absurd to spend that much money on adults kicking a pigskin about but that’s how much the league sold itself for. There is nothing wrong with taking an absolute premium for your product.

However, there is something wrong with clubs reinvesting the money back into the wrong areas. They will try to spin it like the money will be going to a few grassroots projects and into upgrading a few toilets but the likelihood is that the teams will spend the money on  transfers and paying agents.
