They'll only care about money, ie if 50% of footy fans stop using amazon for goods and services they'll back away from it.Amazon are global and they won’t care about tradition.
Catastrophic for the professional game.I think the answer is not many Rob. It would be absolutely catastrophic for the football pyramid.
When I heard that quote that one of the clubs directors said his main remit was maximise his clubs revenue first before any thought of the rest of the footballing world just disgusted me. 'Legacy' fans too? Do me a favour.
As Rob says, even the likes of Redcar rely heavily on grants from the Football Foundation, which in funded by Premier League money. It will affect every club down the pyramid.Catastrophic for the professional game.
The non league game will manage just fine, because largely it sticks to the roots of football.
A sport to be enjoyed by everyone regardless of sex, colour, religion, job title, how much money you have or don't, wether you watch every game or just watch when you can and not be punished for it.
I'll bang the non league drum until the day I die. If the non league club I follow ever makes it way up the pyramid in my life time to professional football then I'll continue to support them because I know they'll continue to do things the right way for the people who supported them and helped them get there.
Glazer for example doesn't give a toss about the people of Manchester, Levy is a snake who I wouldn't trust with £1 coin. The Arabs at Citeh, it's a plaything for them, they don't care about profits and losses, if City ever went below what they determine as a red line they'd be out of there quicker than an Emirates flight to Dubai. Kroenke at Arsenal? Looks like one of those old gold prospectors from yesteryear, treating Arsenal like a pan sifting for that Illusive gold nugget. Liverpool's owners showing their true colours, they don't care about Shankly's legacy, the 96, the working class backs that Liverpool FC was built of.
Every true football fan should be raging about this.
We will have a chance to win the Football League First Division Championship next year, won by Liverpool 18 times, Arsenal 10, Everton 9 etc.I'm pretty excited about seeing teams like Ajax being able to compete in the champions League again. And seeing a premier League which we have a realistic chance of winning.
I don't care about competitions being devalued. The league cup was a lesser competition and I'm sure I enjoyed winning that a lot more than most United fans would enjoy winning the league.
The point is, there is no ladder to where the dirty dozen are headedThis has effectively made the premier league the championship as it’s the second rung in the ladder as what does that make us.
Why are they having to rely on grants?As Rob says, even the likes of Redcar rely heavily on grants from the Football Foundation, which in funded by Premier League money. It will affect every club down the pyramid.
Does leaving the ECA state intention and therefore punishment can be dished out mIt’s hard with handing out prospective punishments such as kicking the scabs out of the PL now isn’t it, because they haven’t actually done anything yet, the ESL doesn’t exist yet. Saying you’re going to rob someone’s house, and actually robbing someone’s house, are two very different things.
It’ll be very - and I mean very - interesting to see what happens with this UEFA committee meeting on Friday. Just read on BBC that one of the committee members from Denmark “expects” that Chelsea, City and Real will be expelled from this season’s competition.
That would be nuclear.
Statement by Oliver Dowden on the European Super League
Oral statement given by Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden about the European Super League proposalswww.gov.uk
Government statement on the issue, surprisingly powerful condemnation too.
Someone mentioned earlier in a reply to one of my posts that pointed to the teams being outside the European Football Leagues.....possible America, Australia etc....So 15 permanent members that can not be relegated for 23 years and 5 invited on merit sides
so what will happen to those 5 then hmm I wonder
