Laws, in his fourth year in charge at Hillsborough, believes it is "inevitable" that sooner or later a top-flight club is going to go bankrupt.[LNB]He told the Owls' official club website: "It's an inevitability that a top team is definitely going to fold at some stage because there's so much money at stake, the prize money to get into the Premier League is enormous, but to stay there it's even greater."[LNB]He added: "The strain on clubs to stay in the Premier League is so great they're definitely spending money they haven't got and if they fail and come out of the Premier League, they're going to keep going and they'd be in such a mess it wouldn't surprise me if one of them folded.[LNB]"There are teams in the Premier League that are frighteningly close to that anyway and one of them is Hull City. If they come out of the Premier League it could be meltdown because they really have overspent. The chairman has just resigned because he's in disgrace. He's failed on the financial side of things and the pressure of that is too great. That's why there's been a change there.[LNB]"There's obviously pressure on Phil Brown and the stress that you see on the manager there is enormous, so you'll have to keep a close eye on that one because that's the club that will probably be the first one that crashes."[LNB][LNB]
