Text | This buying and selling of players has become so great that a club cannot any longer get a player without paying the usual blood money. Should a club have a player which it cannot even find use for, it will hold on to him until some other club comes along and buys him. The most telling effect of this evil is that a strong club is forever drawing the life-blood from the weaker ones by buying their players at prices which they are forced to accept through poverty. In this way the club gets weaker and weaker, the patronage drops off and the end soon comes. St. |
