Football facing financial problems – Wenger

Lower attendances point to the tightening of belts across England and Europe, says the Arsenal coach, as the world economy struggles to avoid a new crisis.

“First of all, we had disappointing results recently and the second factor is that we are going towards a huge financial crisis which has been already in the society.

“We will be hit much more and I think football suffers from the consequences as well.

“You can look at all the clubs in England and the Premier League seats go slower and slower out.

“The stadiums will be less quickly full and we have noticed that already.”
