Fundamental financial problems in European football – the Super League plans might have been unpopular but they solved some serious problems

Super league plans may be gone, but thanks to pandemic woes, maybe not for good. Powerful players are blocking the need for flexible costbases in clubs.

We expect stadium attendance in Europe to reach around 40 per cent of capacity during the 2021/2022 season, improving to around 80 per cent in 2022/2023 and not fully recovering before 2023/2024.

The transfer market is also in very bad shape. This could lead to decisions that prevent clubs from receiving some much needed cash.
