The statement about every team having money is also massively out, the sky deal will drop off given the law on tvs showing european cable, the costs of running clubs (mainly wages) have shot up.
The main reason for the massive hike in prices is the dirty little agents, or deterrents by clubs and players greed. the recent transfer prices are genuinely shocking and we are near the end of the line, you'll see contracts that tie them to longer contracts with better wage packages.
Look at Tevez - who every stumps up that cash for him is clearly mad for two reasons. 1 he can't stay at a club for more than 2 years before he has to leave because of some personal issues, 2 how will that club sell him on and make money with his transfer fee so far above what it should be?
