owlinexile Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 1 hour ago, sheffield_dave said: Yes, this is the fantastic and totally sustainable league structure that everybody celebrated "saving" after the European Super League debacle. The idea that kicking the ESL to the curb has saved or protected football is laughable. Self congratulatory nonsense at the top of the game from those who would have been the least impacted anyway. Defeating the ESL proposals and celebrating it as some sort of victory has been like loosely throwing a life jacket over the edge of a boat, 25 yards away from a bloke still drowning and unable to swim to it. The ESL won't proceed and the fight to preserve the status quo of the English game has been won. Here's what preserving that status means; years of league tables littered with asterisks to denote points deductions, embargoes, 23 team divisions as clubs become unable to fulfil fixtures, more Bury's and Bolton's and Macclesfield's. Stopping the ESL was only the first battle in trying to reclaim football. An important battle, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one, up to today, has mentioned other clubs being in financial trouble, only us. If the players carry out their threat to resign, they will find they are jus 1 of Hundred's of ex-players chasing an ever decreasing number of vacancies.

i used to be sc_owl Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 If football was to introduce a salary cap, there would be a new football organisation set up in the US or China within months. It would operate outside FIFA and pay mega money. Then, all the best players would be snapped up into a closed competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 5 hours ago, Manwë said: I wonder what the figure is for business in general, I guess generally higher than pre-covid, but maybe now showing signs of recovery. We saw weak businesses disappear in the 08/09 crash, and we've seen weak businesses already gone this time around. Football clubs are generally weak businesses, they spend more than they bring in, despite being guaranteed thousands of fans for no effort unlike other businesses. Hoping the EFL show lots of flexibility to allow Chansiri to invest tens of £millions in to the business. Re your last sentence. He has no money! If he had he could have paid them anyway and dealt with the EFL later. Just try to let that sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
