On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul continues the mini-series based around the second greatest story ever told. This time he talks to Gary Clarke & Gary Harris about football & whether or not it’s still the beautiful game?

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sheffield United fans told me recently that they hate being in the Premier League now, you can get tickets anymore. It’s great for the first year, being able to visit the grounds of the famous teams & being able to take their kids, but it’s just got worse & worse this year. I only go because my boy still wants to go. It’s all about money, they don’t care about the fans.
The leagues are too top heavy financially, with loads more money at the top end and hardly any in the lower end. Clubs have been asking to be relegated in the non-league which highlights the lack of money even though they had their best ever season, finishing 6th, they can’t maintain or upgrade their ground. Where one player’s weeks’ wages from Man Utd could have saved that club.
I don’t think it’s possible to get the game back, as we knew it. There’s far too much money in there. The only think we might see is a separation where the big clubs go off into some kind of European league & reformat the English Football League. I can’t see any other way of balancing it out.
One of the nails in the coffin was introducing all-seater stadiums as a must in the top leagues & on top of that introduced allocated seating, Rather than the fans getting in there early together to have a knees-up & create an atmosphere, now everyone’s split up around the ground which is hard to get an atmosphere going.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I’ve lost interest & become disillusioned with football'.

‘They’ve betrayed a working class sport & working class fans, it’s all about money'.

'Some Arsenal fans have pulled away & started their own club because the membership fees were a scandal because you still couldn’t get a ticket while the club made £18million'.

‘You’re no longer a fan, you’re a customer'.

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

His World Game-Changers podcast embraces a mutually-respectful conversational style, with guests that are deemed ‘Unsung Heroes’ – selfless, dedicated people that contribute to the betterment of the world, in whatever way they can…


“Remember: The World’s Changing…

How Will YOU Respond?”
