    I mean the amount Injuries players are getting not just at United but other teams as well. Surely there is enough evidence out there footballers play too much.

    But this is what capitalism does to a product, its squeezing as much money as they can out of product while the quality collapses.

      Eh only the best of best are playing too much. And they get compensated more, waaayyyy more than enough for that.

      Going to get even worse with the expanded champions league and club World Cup too. All the PL teams in Europe, plus Chelsea and Tottenham are already so injury hit and we’ve not even got to the busy part of the season

      Not really, there are better ways to make money from football than more games. Just look at american football. They play 17 games once a week. And its the most commercialised sport in the world.

      There are ways to make stupid amounts of money without running the players into the ground.

      But either way fans get fucked. Either through paying more for TV for more games or through a worse experience with mid game ads
