Hopefully, the clubs' stranglehold will be voluntarily relaxed, and the price of a second-hand match ticket will be drastically reduced. The internet is forcing big changes in the football world right now, and maybe, just maybe, we will see something of a return to the old ways. Then, all we need is Malcolm Glazer to sell United to a consortium headed by Alex Ferguson, Bobby Charlton, and Denis Law, and we can all sleep soundly in our beds at night. Excellent, eh what, old bean?!?
