It’s January!

Yes! Time for the January transfer window! The month where clubs go crazy scouring for some much needed additions to their squads to give them a strong push for the remainder of the season.

With the financial state of the world right now, how will this impact the great game?

I think, not very much!

With more investment coming from abroad, the gap between the best and the average clubs will become greater and greater. Just look at Man City. in a few years, they will be massive, no doubt about it. Why? Because they’ve got an owner who considers money as no object, he’ll buy the best team, just like Chelsea tried.

They might not become the best in the world, but they’ll certainly increase the divide between the clubs left in the midst with no foreign ownership or huge investment.

It’s often debated whether goal line technology should be used in football.

Whilst it’s something that would allow for a much fairer game, it would seem like it’s something not to be overlooked.

However, in such a passionate game, the fans feel that having such technology would take a lot of the excitement out of the game. I guess it all depends on what end of the excitement your on!

With match results being the difference in millions of pounds won, or alternatively, lost, it’s just a matter of time before technology steam rolls in to the world of football for good.

But for today, tomorrow and the next few years, I think we’ll be keeping our bueatuful game exactly how it is.
