England has big worries about football. A new group writes a report. The name of the report is State of the Game. The numbers in the report are very bad.
In the last season, 94 percent of the clubs lose money. This affects the 5 top leagues. In total, this is 116 clubs. Many clubs spend more money than they get. The costs for players are very high.
A quarter of the clubs are in great danger. If the owners give no more money, they survive only 30 days. 17 clubs make bad numbers even without player pay. The debts will rise to 6 billion euros next year.
The difference between the leagues is very big. A club from the top league earns much more money. It gets 8 times as much as a club from the second league. The group wants to change this now. It demands new rules for sharing the money.
