    There is one huge thing I am missing here, the UEFA Financial Fairplay rules. They are in effect already, and might work against some of the trends your friends describes here, so at least they should be mentioned, because the article otherwise gives the impression of a report on the state of football prior to 2009.

    Well, trying not to criticize too much as I see that his intentions are good and I don't know what it is for, but I also have issues with the approach being too ambitious (With that title, it's impossible to get a satisfying result with anything below a full-blown thesis), the simplified usage of the word 'capitalism' and the equation of the Premier League/La Liga with the 'Football World'.

    I already talked to him about the club licensing system and he is aware of it. And , he was describing the state of football prior to 2009. However, he is doing a master in economics, and in this article he was merely trying to compare the football business to the our real economy (because he loves football). He's point was the inflation of transfer fee and salary surely brought good attractive football, but he also worries that the market will eventually saturate and the bubble may bust.

    Plus, I believe this article was for hobby.
    Hey would you mind, directly commenting on his article, please?
    I think he would like to see that kind of feedback, constructive or positive.

    I think it depends on the browser that you are using, but if should not take a while. You should scroll down the article and should see "add a comment" link in the bottom of the page.

    I can't see the comment either. I assume he has comment moderation turned on so that he has to approve comments manually. My blog does the same thing so that it doesn't get infested with links selling viagra and the like.

    Well I posted the above with some minor things added, confirmed that I'm no spam bot, and iirc got the message that my comment is awaiting 'permission'.

    I don't know where to put that so I write here (sorry), is that possible to have an active moderator ? Most of them don't take part in the discussions and are often slow to react when there's a troll attack.

    I agree with that. I don't think it does this forum good when the majority of regular posters have been here (with some reacting) until these posts get deleted, even if this troll is of the hilarious sort.
