Footy is Infa a money shock, warns Gianni

Attendances are generally healthy in Europe’s major leagues.

But Infantino insists: “We shouldn’t sit back and count ourselves lucky.

“Football is a source of refuge in times of crisis but the difficulties that European economies are facing will inevitably catch up with all of us in the end.

“UEFA’s financial fair play plan is, of course, taking measures, but it mustn’t be the only one to do so. Everyone must assume their responsibilities.”

That surely includes many of our Premier League clubs, who reveal greatly increased spending on agents’ fees.
