Those of you readers who recognize the "unionoscopy" byline and have read my stuff before know that I desperately try to support any assertion I make with numbers. I collect data from the far reaches of the soccer web to learn about the machine beneath the game and then present what I find.
But today I write without any data, basically because there is no data to be found on this topic. The lack of data is in fact the nature of the issue. The topic is single-entity and how it impacts the league from a fan's point of view.
