Django Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I wouldn’t want the top 6 to join a super league. Imo I think it’ll devalue what’s left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pube offside is not in the spirit of offside. Otherwise, yeah we have a lot to learn from German football. A Pube offside... is still Offside!... what is 'spirit of offside'?... its either offside or not. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is why VAR (in soccer) is knackered... Seems OK in rugby but not really suitable in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Owl Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If I own the club with the other 60000 people in Sheffield who support Wednesday. Who's going to decide who the manager will be? Do we take it in turns, or majority vote or ? (60000 people on the club WhatsApp) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowOwl Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Biggest problem is audience. The future audience is the YouTube/tiktok/wrexham tv series generation. Anyone 30 and above is effectively old news traditionalists. We love the idea of proper football clubs etc but it won’t attract the future audience, which means too many business savvy owners will not kick off. They will moan and make statements etc to look good, but push comes to shove it’s only going one way - franchising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeyswfc Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Should have let them go the first time round. England is going the way of the other European leagues where the pyramid isn’t a thing. Those at the top don’t want us. Pep even said it in his presser. “Great for the lower league clubs to get a reply but bad for us” effectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is seeking an advantage (NOT with his toenail) flag offside immediately. And EVERY player on the pitch is interfering with play. And only deliberate handball is a penalty.

Grizzly Bizzly Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Sounds good but id keep goal live technology as it works well. Would rather keep the Big 6, mainly because I presume we are one of them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Clemente Owl Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 There are virtually no successful fan owned clubs anywhere. Even the German model is finding that without outside investment their 51+ system is struggling. Without outside money over and above revenue, football will go back to crumbling stadiums and poor football. And agents are not the problem with football, football screwing over its players with regards to contracts is the problem. The average footballer does not have the intelligence to understand a contract, and the owners of the clubs know that and will take advantage of that. Agents need regulating, they need to work for the player and be paid by the player, not by the club. The big 6 are the six with the highest revenues, nothing to do with titles. VAR is fine if it was kept to certain decisions. It literally gets every offside decision right, as it does with goal line technology but it’s the subjective decisions that it can be accused of getting wrong. For me leave this to the refs like it always was and we will argue about that in the pub instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed watching Wednesday in a fa cup semi final at Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
