Introduction
This essay will examine how money has changed the game of football in the UK. I have chosen this topic, as football is the most popular sport in the UK. According to Bond (2013), the numbers of fans that watch the games increased by 60% since the Division 1 has changed to EPL League. The changes that have taken place from around 1950 to the present day has been showing clearly. As there is more capital investment in the football games it creates a different kind of benefit to football games but at the same time, there are also a lot of drawbacks.
Overview
Firstly, the reason why there are huge amount of money in EPL is because there are billionaires who want to gain money from taking over the football club it is all about business.

According to Malakar(2016), Bond(2013), Ornstein and Pranav(2008) and Burnham(2010) the tickets price are expensive due to demand and player high salary (average about one million pound a year)this effect the working class as they have to watch the games though TV because in some match the ticket price are too high(FA cup and UFEA cup Final).
In the long run, money has destroyed the young player life, as today young player life in the U21 league are too comfortable. Higginbotham (2016) suggest that the new generation player today have no motivation as well as leadership due to high wages that they are earning in the U21 league, which they earn up to 20000 pound a month.
Higginbotham (2016) also mention that the best youngster in the EPL league right now is Dele Alli who play in League one, not in the U21 league. Dele Alli no expensive deal before he came to EPL in 2016 hence this motivate him to fight and learn more so that he can earn

Higginbotham (2016) claim that in the past when he was a youngster he had to clean the shoes for players like Brain McClair and Roy Keane whereas nothings like that are happening with today generation youngster because everything’s is done by the kit man. Higginbotham(2016) also mentions that this is a helpful experience for the entire youngster to get in touch with the senior player to learn new skills.
Solution to the problems
If there is too much money in football is it a serious problem? According to Malakar(2016), the club with a higher investment is likely to win many titles than another team for example Chelsea and Manchester city.
One of the serious problems that can be found in today generation football is mainly about youngsters (under 20 years old).
Higginbotham (2016) suggest that there are many ways to solve problems like close down the U23 league and let all the new generation players play in the league one or championship league. So that they can learn the new skill like developed leaderships skills and learn to face the

The focus of professional sports has evolved from one of teamwork and camaraderie to one of avarice and greed. The specific problems in recent years that have stemmed off this overwhelming greed include exorbitant salaries, lockouts (or work stoppages) in professional sports, and the growing disparity among team payrolls. Most recognize these issues as major problems; however, others overlook the greed and see validity in the financial aspect of today's sports world. They argue that professional sports are thriving and should not be modified.
2006). It is within the role of PE teachers and coaches to encourage young players to
...e their life as well as the children. The children receive a ton of pressure from their families to perform at a high level so they will feel satisfied as parents that their football player performed well. Thus the families’ obsession of high school football in particular the parents’ obsession proves to be a continuous and damaging cycle for the high school football players.
Football academies are environments in which promising footballers are trained and developed with the goal of becoming elite senior athletes (Crust, Nesti & Littlewood, 2010). English academies operate a dual sporting goal according to Isoard-Gautheur, Guillet-Ducas & Duda (2013), in which they aim to teach and help athlete’s master skills, but also have an obligation to ensure enough athletes break through into the senior team. Academies train athletes from the ages of 10 to 18 on a part time format, using elite coaches and elite competition between other academies to enhance their player’s ability (Crust, Nesti & Littlewood, 2010). Academies are very much utilised as a progressive filter, which begins with a large number of athletes at the youngest age, with progressively smaller numbers of athletes in each age group as age increases (Crust, Nesti & Littlewood, 2010). Whether an athlete is retained for the next year is subject to player evaluation by coaches and directors within the academy, thus requiring athletes to demonstrate competency as well as achieving success (Isoard-Gautheur, Guillet-Ducas & Duda, 2012; Crust, Nesti & Littlewood, 2010).
The majority of children who play football will not avoid the inevitable and most likely sustain an injury to their body. However, there are some positive attributes for children to learn when participating in youth football. Some positive attributes children will learn are physical fitness, discipline and structure, and the importance of teamwork. The aforementioned attributes are favorable for children where they will learn to be young men, adapt to life, and adjust to different circumstances off the
This paper attempts to rationalize youth football as a sport by discussing the pros and cons in order to argue that youth should be allowed to play the game of football if they so choose. To do so, this paper will explore the ethical arguments and considerations of parents, young athletes, medical professionals and social media.
Youth Soccer has evolved into a fiercely competitive arena. More and more children are leaving recreational leagues to play in highly competitive select leagues. Select leagues are made up of teams, which players must tryout or be selected to play for. I had the unfortunate task of being an evaluator at such a tryout. Fifty ten-year-old boys had come out for a three day tryout in which forty five of them were placed on three teams. Cuts were made on the field and for those boys who had made a team it was a very exciting, but for the five boys who were cut it was absolutely heartbreaking. Had the children been older they might have been able to deal with the disappointment better, but for most of them it was their first real experience with public "failure". Select leagues have the potential to teach and promote important life skills such as hard work,...
When the world cup was hosted by Japan it brought in a big influx of foreign currency, tourists and additional spending on goods and services. Large sport events such as Wimbledon or the European championship has a similar effect as a multiplier effect. The economic situation of British football has changed massively in the last ten years: what was a hugely under-capitalised industry at the end of the 1980s (that operated on very tight margins and often had to endure enormous losses) has been transformed into a multi-million pound business where the maximisation of revenue and profit are key strategic objectives for clubs and associations alike. (http://www.liv.ac.uk/footballindustry/ninetieshtml). There has been a rapid growth in professional footballers since 1986 accompanied by a significant increase in player employment turnover There are a number of employment opportunities available to those on the football programmes.
Soccer is a religion to many in the world. It is interpreted in many different ways, became a lifestyle and family to millions of people. If soccer is a religion, money has become it's undisputed god in the 21st century. Money lives and thrives throughout the sport of soccer in many ways. Whether people like it or not it is on jerseys and stadiums, in the player's mind, and the owners grasp. Some of the biggest clubs in the world are products of brilliant branding of the club's name. This is achieved through lucrative owners and presidents, but when does money become too much of a distraction and a problem for the sport? There is a very fine line between using and abusing money in the sport today.
Football is the most obvious sport whose commercial value has been tainted by the actions of its players. While the game still attracts multimillion-pound investment from brands due to the massive media spotlight it enjoys, many are questioning the wisdom of their associations in light of a seemingly never-ending stream of negative headlines.
While sports for the spectators are merely entertainment, the economics of the industry are what drives businesses to become involved. Sports have become more of a business entity rather than an entertainment industry due to the strong economic perception of the over all industry. There are several instances in which economics may contribute to the effect on the sports industry, such as: the success of a team, the price of a ticket, the amount of money an athlete will make, and the amount of profit a team will make. The success of an...
Football is a very famous and well-known sport all over the world. Fans go crazy about their favorite clubs and teams play as hard as they can to win the championship. What a lot of people do not talk about is the money aspect of football. Every year football clubs spend millions on buying and selling players, which is called transfers. Apart from that, the amounts of money clubs pay their players, as a salary is outrageous depending on the team. In many leagues, there is the firm belief that spending a lot of money on players leads to success. It is easy to pick out the teams that spend most money on their players since their wage bills are much higher than the rest when compared. Looking at the English Premier League, which consists of 20 different teams, one is able to see how much teams spend on their players. This brings up questions such as: how can we measure how worthy a player is and decide how much to pay them? Or, how do teams decide that a player is good enough? Why do players who seem to be just as good as others get paid so much more? These research questions are all very interesting, though what will be focused on is the relation between success and the amount of money spent on players’ salaries.
Sports are one of the most profitable industries in the world. Everyone wants to get their hands on a piece of the action. Those individuals and industries that spend hundreds of millions of dollars on these sports teams are hoping to make a profit, but it may be an indirect profit. It could be a profit for the sports club, or it could be a promotion for another organization (i.e. Rupert Murdoch, FOX). The economics involved with sports have drastically changed over the last ten years.
The commercialization of sports is illustrated by the amount of money that is involved in sport. Stakeholders in the sector are using lots of money to improve their performances with an objective of making profit. Sport has changed its form and dimension and longer only a source of entertainment, but a...
