I can't ever see a return to the kind of hooliganism of the 70s and 80s. I think that at the moment though, the game is being kept afloat by people with enough freedom to spend their money on football. Once people settle down with mortgages, etc, that money will have to go elsewhere, and I don't see the generation behind them interested in the game enough to want to take their place.
I can see an increase in shorter contracts and wage caps (which the game desperately needs, IMO) in the near future.
