English soccer troubled —

LONDON (REUTER) —
English soccer is finally
floundering in the financial
crisis that has appeared im-
minent for the last decade.

The warnings have been
manifold. Two years ago the
late Alan Ardaker, then sec-

* retary of the English League,
predicted: “If we don’t do
something soon, the profes-
sional game as we known it
will collapse in the next five
or 10 years.”

Last week Bristol City,
two seasons ago a First Divi-
sion team, remained in busi-
ness only when eight players
agreed that their contracts’
worth $650,000 be torn up.

Its tottering financial state
is shared by a number of

clubs in the lower divisions ~

and, while none of the major
clubs are close to collapse,
the danger signs are flashing
past. Even mighty Liverpool,
champions of Europe, have
admitted its income is failing
to match expenditures, +

Women have far to go
