Popular Post owlinexile Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 Massive, massive corruption at the top of the EFL. Perhaps there were good reasons to reject this offer. But the fact that clubs weren't even consulted about it surely makes Parry's position untenable. 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdewsna Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Rick Parry thinks that Liverpool’s and Man Utd’s grab for power is good for the EFL - I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very close to washing my hands of the whole corrupt, parasite infested, immoral, greed ridden disgrace professional football has become and support my local grass roots team Stocksbridge Park Steels every week. While I'm posting this I'm currently sat waiting for my van to be unloaded bang across the road from Bury's stadium. Looking across the road at Gigg Lane whilst reading this thread rams home that football in this country is well and truly fooooked. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post @owlstalk Posted October 13, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 I honestly couldn't care one bit if the Premier League just foooooooked off I'm sick of how our club is so absolutely screwed because of a greedy desire to get there If we did get there Chansiri can't even compete with the bottom third of clubs there in terms of spending power We'd go up, we'd sign players on astronomical wages, lose every week, get relegated and go under anyway The Championship is better to watch and more fun Not saying that because we're in the Championship either and bitter we're not in the top flight I just want all this greed, finances, FFP, EFL, PPV nonsense to all just GO AWAY once and for all and leave us to talk about 11 blokes on a pitch kicking a ball about with 11 other blokes on a pitch Football right now is DISGUSTING 18 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 After the events of the last few days alone it’s hard to say the EFL are acting within the interests of its members. But, as we know, they’ve not been doing that for along time anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as we know, they’ve not been doing that for along time anyway. Parry says the clubs support the plan. You can slag one bloke off all you want but if he's telling the truth then the blame is infinitely spreadable. Our fans are as guilty of slagging off "tin-pot clubs" as any other. Sadly after 20 years out of the Premier League and two decades worth of largely poor quality chairmen we're becoming what we have always ridiculed, especially to the teams that are looking globally rather than up the M1 or across the M62. I suspect we'll have to take whatever crumbs the "big clubs" offer - especially with the threat of relegation to Division Three looming. Modern football eh - we bought into the PL, in fact we were involved in an earlier potential breakaway. But we're certainly not going to be part of any European Super League. Ever since professionalism was introduced there's been a slow progress towards bigger clubs dominating. It was held off by the maximum wage but it's accelerated recently and I fear trying to stop it will be like doing a Canute. Maybe it would be better if Man Utd and Liverpool et al just fizz off into their franchise NFL style European Super League and let the rest of us get on with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Tbh you dont want the yanks involved , unless you want to see bigger goals, the game split into quarters and constant advertising , it would be the death of football as we know it. Sadly this very likely to happen anyway. Football the game of the common person, my arse!! Edited October 13, 2020 by Big Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
