Ligue Un isn't a rich league. PSG and Monaco have rich benefactors now and marseilles are traditionally a top european club but most clubs get championship or lower crowds and I guess championship and lower wages.
They also have the threat of a new 75% tax band coming in which will either see clubs go bust or players desert the league Anyone remember the game v Troyes. Only about 15000 for the visit of world footballing power Leeds United and I reckon a big minority were Leeds fans Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: Phill Shields <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 13:05:48 To: [email protected]<[email protected]>; [email protected]<[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Max Gradel You may be right about his agent being behind this Paul. Apparently his contract with St Etienne expires in 2015 so the timing would fit with your assessment. This time it feels to have more legs about it for me though. As regards swapping French top tier with our 2nd tier I do not think that is an issue. Apart from PSG I reckon wages in English Championship would be comparable with most French clubs and definitely St Etienne. I've already said he'd follow the money so I don't think the World Cup is a factor. You will have gathered I hope it is his agent behind this and I personally am not bothered about having him back.
