BBC Scotland presented three little programmes on the effect of the credit crunch on Scottish football. Each is only about 2 minutes long and covers the effects on football itself, transfers and fans.
Like any business right now, it is vital that Scottish football balances it's incomings and outgoings. 81% of chairmen in Scotland said the economic situation was having an effect and 69% said it was their priority to keep banks and sponsors happy. 52% of clubs are looking to cut wages although most believe that will have no effect on the quality of football on show. This is going to be vital as attendances have already dropped by 5% with a further drop expected - less fans equals less incoming money and therefore more cuts. A worrying situation!
