Cannot be stated how horrific it is for the game. We’re going to have more breaks built in, more pre-game entertainment. Music blaring during the game, more interviews with players, changes to the relegation and promotion structure and general all-out commercialisation of every micro and macro element of the game. There’s not a way back from it now

Eddie might be regretting the need to act fast message in his press conference as was most likely a subtle dig towards Mitchell at time time before he announced he was leaving. Now he's gone he has nobody else to point the finger at if we have a sub par window.

1 billion Man Utd fans clicking the article. Huge success for TEAMtalk.

Surely it's now 4-D chess if time is introduced into the equation? But we probably should have been planning for 5-D chess, Mitchell.

The thing is despite all the money in the PL, plenty of clubs are still losing money. It's all bonkers. PSR is not fit for purpose but this American takeover of the game in this country is deeply worrying.

They’re currently having a meltdown over private funding of Hollywood on the wear being pulled. They were sniggling away about the new arena running into difficulties and saying it should be built in chicken town instead. Reality check lads you’re a backwater and always will be.

Classic age old trope. Greed intensifies more and more until the thing eats itself. We’re at the point where football has self-cannibalised one of its arms. As soon as it starts on the foot it’s all over

Viewing figures were down because of the title and relegation being done before the start of April.

this really can’t be doing the Premier League as a brand and a league any good at all. I’ve almost had enough with it all and we just had our best season ever. Viewing figures were already down last season, how many more people will start to turn off? I didn’t grow up loving football for the financial shite to mean more than the actual game on the pitch.

Not exactly a desirable position to be in. Potentially same again without CL next year too.

That’ll show them

Chess would be better if the boards were black and white stripes instead of chequered.

huffs his own farts, ol’ Fab

Set it all on fire and start again, Guy Fawkes it all please so we can get back to actually just following football rather than this fucking nonsense clownshow off the pitch

So a fine as per normal.

How many times it need said? Premier league have tried to close the loop holes and the clubs voted against it. The selling women teams got voted down recently.

That's certainly true, but the current rules have X lawyers defending them, versus the 10X Man City lawyers attacking them. The related party thing had a new vote because City's legal team proved the rules were invalid, and the vote passed because there are still enough status quo clubs out there. Every club that peels off from the status quo will make it difficult for any invalidated rule to be reinstated in a similar format. I'm not the biggest Villa fan, but them voting with the Sky Six on things like this struck me as weird. They can't keep coming up with a Grealish or Duran to sell every couple of seasons.

Only give Chelsea money for their genuine top youths, like we did with Hall. Acheampong and George the current stand outs that are on cusp. Stay away from middling players, even if they could become good. Leave them at Chelsea so they get saddled.

That'll be half of this forum if we don't sign some fucka soon.

Patient pick up from bamburgh ward at st nicks to Rampton.

No - can't give Chelsea another penny
