Kanye West Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Leeds have been on Sky 14 times out of 17 games, I'm not surprised they're a bit peeved tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) I know it has been posted before but 11 out of 20 clubs in the Premier could have made a profit playing in empty stadiums. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44850888 Edited November 12, 2018 by sonofbert2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I think whilst clubs are being forced to maximise income to be allowed to compete with parachute clubs, the fans will always suffer the consequences. The premier league has the income and needs to take the lead on pricing and wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who holds the balance of power, will be interesting but with respect to league 1 and 2, without more than half the Championship the EFL don't have a product and without meaningful promotion and relegation the Premier League becomes less attractive. Made me laugh about the caraboa cup though, who gives a poo about that, it's been devalued into a reserve competition now. Agree, football has always been a business and this is not going to change, s better to be a part of it would rather be in some form of PL2 than being in Division 3 North which could happen.

Must admit rather have 3pm each Saturday but if you want the millions from sky we have to accept they call the tune. If we carry on playing this badly though will soon be 3pm each Saturday.

If you wanted more 3pm Saturday kick off then lets scrap all of the pointless international friendlies we play 6 games in a little over two weeks then sit on our hands for two weeks while we play some pointless international. Scrap in season international, play them all in the summer then the 8-10 weeks wasted can be used to have more Saturday 3pm kick offs. - Sorted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Rat Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Football finances are bent so far out of shape that I’ve given up even trying to work out a viable alternative. As for our position, we’re in enough trouble with the EFL already so even if we are among the dissenters I’d imagine we’ll be keeping our gobs shut and our heads well below the parapet for now.

Sacked them off three years ago and never went back despite their pestering, and all kinds of offers, to get me back as a customer. Try it people, it’s very liberating. Then switch to IPTV. Im getting a fire stick and then ill be looking for an IPTV, but people I know have had mixed experiences. One guy took a years payment then disappeared and stopped replying to messages and the service stopped working. Now my father in law says it buffers a bit and stops working for big games (Hes a man u fan, so it just stops working when he wants it to most).

Jim Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 The P&S farce will be the undoing of the EFL IMO? Rich owners don’t buy clubs to be told by the authorities what they can and can’t spend and I suspect this is a big issue for our Owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Premiership and Football league between them put 1,656 players on view every week-end. Yet many of our talented home grown players are denied the opportunity to showcase their skills. Stock piling of our talent is an abhorrent stifling of our national game at every level. The FA could have acted on quotas but they haven't instead cow towing to their master £££. The practice of clubs paying their own players excessive agents fees is a drain on the game. So much could be done yet we are seeing nothing of the fundamental change necessary. On a broader front we have seen schools forced to sell their assets, the result being that demand is not being met and the consequential increase in pitch fees; Many clubs now paying north of £80 per match. Locally the old Wednesday, United and Clegg Shield school tournaments have long since fallen off the calendar. We don't see scouts queueing up at the gates of Shirecliffe School any more. Could go on and on with factual and anecdotal tales of football mismanagement over the years, but it's best summarised thus... The lead body of the game the FA have allowed themselves to be pushed aside in the chase for pieces of eight. Sky rule the roost with further Media Moguls waiting in the wings. The FA are a toothless, spineless organisation that don't know their arse from their elbow. UEFA and FIFA rules maintain no Government interference in the game, yet they could demand a democratisation and installation of a governing body 'Fit For Purpose'. There are some good people in and on the periphery of the game, I think it's about time we made use of their services. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 There is vast amounts if money swimming around in the game and the club's only have themselves to blame if they give it to parasite agents and scummy sports management companies. It's time agents were banned from the game , and players used the PFA to negotiate with club's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I like the idea of the NFL model (At least this is partly what I think they do). All revenues generated by all clubs are put into one pot and divided equally. Would this make football better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Apart from the clubs mentioned in the article, and then obviously Rotherham, it would be interesting to see exactly who the 15 are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spend loads of money on Wednesday for some tin pot effort like Rotherham to be able to spend it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
