I think its pathetic that this sort of thing is allowed to happen along with the "oh dear, isn`t that terrible" responses. Some person or people should set up a commission of some sort to investigate ways in which the vast sums of money going to the top echelons in the game can; and should; be filtered down to the grass roots. Not only is it important for the stability of the game as a whole and for nurturing talent, it is also vital for the local fans and communities.
