The demise of ITV Digital in England, along with the projected collapse of many Nationwide League clubs is surely of interest to us loi fans. Without the inflated cash from tv, uk clubs may not be able to steal the likes of barry-murphy, gamble and delaney, paying them a couple of grand a week without ever giving them a gam . From now on the money being paid to players in the lower leagues in uk will be the same as that paid by loi clubs, and a move to uk should only be attractive if they are going to one of the top clubs. Christ remember Colin Hawkins leaving Pats to go and play with non-league Doncaster because they were offering more money, or Derek having unprotected sex with Luton Town because they waved some cash at him. THESE CLUBS ARE OUR REAL ENEMIES.. From now on players going to uk clubs will have to be sure of getting a first team place, or else the uk clubs won't take a chance on them. Hurray for ITV.
On the other side of the coin, there must be dozens of UK-based players who are being released from their clubs as a result of the crisis. Where's Gunther when you need him???
