The referees and officials dont even get blamed enough when the whole football economy ends up like this because every decision, every market move, every auction style bidding war feeds into the same nonsense and then clubs act shocked when one winger costs a fortune and fans are expected to nod along like its perfectly rational, the sport is being priced out of normality and the people in charge just keep smiling through it all while supporters are left arguing over whether a player is a bargain at 100m or 135m which is completely mental
