Transfer Results

Results of The Transfers Poll

Are transfer fees getting out of hand?
the figures are quite reasonable now that clubs are run as businesses and on the stock market:  6.8% 4
the clubs are gambling their futures on winning trophies they can't all win:  28.8% 17
the clubs know that Pay-Per-View TV is on the horizon and the money they'll get for that will be enormous:  15.3% 9
the figures are absurd and make no sense whatsoever:  49.2% 29

Should a cap be put on transfers of players between clubs?
yes to stop the clubs bankrupting themselves with crazy fees:  39.7% 23
no it's pointless as the extra money would just end up in the players pockets instead:  24.1% 14
no it's a free market and the clubs should be allowed to pay whatever they think fit:  36.2% 21
