I agree with Iordanou, also because many players can compensate their declining phisycal skills with experience.
Taking an example from football, Maldini still plays at 40 years and it's still an hard defender to beat, even though he plays half the matches.
On economic changes: I believe that if the problem is an excess of money, there are plenty of ways to pour money out.
This changes are a bit harsh and may be counterproductive, but the worst part is how fast they are going to take effect.
Can we hope to have news some more time in advance so one can plan his moves accordingly?
