The budget of the richest Polish football club Legia Warszawa is about PLN 250 million per year. The budget of Real or Manchester City is about PLN 5 billion, or 20 times more.
Polish representation was erstwhile ranked 5th in the world. He's in the 4th 10 now. From time to time there will be a prominent player (Lewandowski, szczęsny), but mostly we are poor.
Polish clubs cannot join the Champions League. There's a club from the Czech Republic, a club from Kazakhstan. Poland isn't.
Poles play poorly, they have no money. They don't have money, they don't play well. How do we get out of this enchanted circle?
Young people, alternatively of playing football, “beat” smartphones. Fans don't go to games due to the fact that they're embarrassingly weak. Business doesn't invest in football clubs due to the fact that the hazard is besides high. How do we get out of this enchanted circle?
Football, contrary to appearances, is something highly crucial in our cultural circle. Without success in this area, our level of optimism will always be low. Years ago Lubański, Deyna, Boniek and others inspired Poles so much that they led to the creation of Solidarity and yet to the collapse of communism. Not only did John Paul II give optimism to Poles, but besides footballers.
Additionally, in the stands we have not fans, but kiboli-fascists. How can average people not be afraid to go to a game?
I don't have a prescription to heal the Polish ball, but I compose about it due to the fact that we have a very akin situation with Polish science. It's even more serious, but I think it's easier to heal.
