Collymore taking the moral high ground FFS - Psalm23 - 10-04-2020
Says he finds it obscene that the top clubs have spent over £1 billion on players, whilst lower league clubs are facing battles to survive.
He thinks they suould have been banned from buying or selling any players, & all the money should have been redirected to the EFL sides fighting for their lives.
Sorry Stan but there's about as much chance of that, as you giving up dogging on the Chase, or stopping beating up women. FFS

He has a point that morally if not legally the top clubs should be supporting the lower leagues for the good of the entire game. It is obscene money to have spent whilst the worlds economy nosedives and many of their customers / ahem supporters will be out of a job by Christmas. Football at the top level should not live in a bubble detached from the people who consume and create the product that is the Premier League.

Spot on.
Collymore in talking sense shock. Although, as they say, a stopped clock is right twice a day. Just like the abandoned morals of business, i.e. tax dodgers where we once had the Cadburys, Levers etc, the Premier League sees no obligation to those it feeds from.

My point was not whether he was right, or wrong, just the irony of a despicable cunt like him talking about moral issues.
