C.A.P Ciudad de Murcia: Rising from the ashes and reclaiming football

"Twelve hours after the final whistle had gone in El Classico, we were waking up to go to an honest football match.  Forget the 90,000 in the Camp Nou and the hundreds of millions watching from every corner of the world, we're bored of that.  It's tedious.  It's overblown.  It's football at a consumer level, with participants so self indulged they've turned it into a soap opera.

So long as fans continue to be seen by businessmen as a never ending "milking of the cow", the game will continue to go down its ruinous route." - BBC Sport online commentator

From our Canadian correspondent

"From being in trusted hands associated with the great local businessman and benefactor whose finances helped Blackburn win the Premier League in 1995, relegation comes under the stewardship of absentee owners with both a geographical and philosophical disconnection from supporters."
