Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 43 minutes ago, Sima said: That’s not the club manager’s fault or the players to be fair but there needs to be a seismic transfer request or resignation of a manager for them to really throw their weight behind it and nail their colours to the mast. I know the suggesting the players of the 6 English clubs at least all agreeing as a union to hand in transfer requests or even go on strike sounds absolutely fucking ridiculous but to me anyway it's exactly the response that's needed. Go fucking nuclear and tear the cunts down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After covid, I don't know how possible it is for media companies to pay the money for tv rights their expecting. It's certainly not going to happen here.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I do think they have a point about younger fans but here's an idea, why don't you stop paying agents etc and cut costs like most businesses have had to do during the Pandemic.

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It's precisely the endless pissing about with the game that is turning young people off. I hate VAR, I hate how all the players get daft cash, I hate all the owners turning them into businesses, I hate the politics, rule changes and FIFA corruption. We need rid of the old, out of touch mafia who have been persistently attempting to ruin our game to line their pockets, while wasting supporter's hard earned cash.

Some people don’t care about sustainability they just want to watch the game and at it’s basic level this super league bullshit is very lucrative to those “founders”. If they aren’t opposed they will hoard all the best players something most fans of these clubs won’t object too once the dust has settled. source: Boris Johnson’s approval rating after the death of over 100k people and rampant corruption Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Just catching up on all of MNF. I do kinda stand by what I said about Neville's hypocrisy, to a certain extent, but need to retract my spikiness because he's had the grace and self-awareness to acknowledge it. He's lit the torch in terms of the mainstream discourse about this issue extremely well tbh. I feel exhausted already at the thought of having to fight this fight after the weariness of NUFC-centric battles, but Neville's got me drafting a letter to the MP. And similarly I retract, to some extent, my forgiving tone towards those with the biggest voices/influences choosing not to speak out. Aye it's not fair on Klopp etc to be in this position but we're literally talking about the death of the game here. There has to be some meaningful statements from influential figures very soon.

mighty__mag Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 On VAR though, we would need a replacement, because all we did for years was argue for technology, and now people just complain about it. I like it, but I dont like the ridiculous parts of it. It could still be used,but used better. If VAR kept us in the league, nobody would be complaining that particular day.

I particularly hated the fact he somehow managed to defend the club's owner somewhere in all of that attack on Neville. To be fair to Neville, he stood his ground in reply. Klopp getting all upset about how the Leeds fqns welcomed them too was also petty. Should have stood with them instead of criticising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
