Could Rotherham be the start of the rot?

For a few years people have been predicting the collapse of football.</p>

Falling gates, high prices, overpaid squads, withdrawal of revenue, rising operational costs.</p>

Few of these problems have been effectively addressed.</p>

Over the last few years, clubs in trouble have always somehow been hauled back up, after some delay and hastily rearranged ways of operating.</p>

But these safety cushions must be wearing thinner by the year.</p>

Even larger and more glamorous clubs are reporting large operating losses. They have enough fat to survive and restructure or course.</p>

But the Rotherhams of this world?</p>

Could we be witnessing the start of the final domino effect that's bound to happen soon? When one club goes, a whole load will follow.</p>

Will Rotherham be the first of many?</p>

And did we lift ourselves out of the shxt just in time?</p>
