1881 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 2 minutes ago, 1881 said: unfortunately the really sad thing is that the original tweet is true. The broadcasters and sponsors are most interested in the clubs with the biggest global following and will therefore do what they can to make those clubs successful. And the more that media/broadcasters run the game and can influence the agenda (eg unsettling players to get them moves). More and more rules are coming in - beyond the financial - which are making this happen. A good example is the removal of the cup-tied rule which benefits clubs who can afford big money signings in January. this table from football-observatory gives an indication of how far we are behind in this aspect too.

oscar Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 We're all Poland fans tonight yeah? I know he's not playing tonight, but it would be the ultimate comeuppance not to qualify after his strop led to him not being able to play in the qualifiers they failed to win last summer. As well as it being an absolute shambles that Sweden have been gotten to this stage after getting 2 points in qualifying, but that's another story Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nations leagues should be scrapped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reflects one thing that I feel disappointed with PIF since the takeover. Surely we can blame FFP/PSR for tying our hands in the transfer market, but there are other aspects like sponsorship, global fan base, infrastructure and academy that seem to have evolved very little after nearly 5 years. Looking back, I think PIF isn't very passionate about running the club. We are just one of their many projects and we are never their priority. Unlike Chelsea (under Abramovic), Man City or PSG in which these clubs are the flagship investments of their respective owners. So it just happens that we have a very rich owner who don't care about us too much. It is what it is, still much better than Mike Ashley anway......

It's a shame though, because I really like Graham Potter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate this cunt so much and don't want him to get the opportunity to play in the World Cup. It's a shame though, because I really like Graham Potter I'm Swedish too and I can't understand wanting your country to lose and not playing in the WC because of one player. Amazing game yesteday, celebrated like mad with my son. Potter has done a great job in a short time with this team in terms of getting the team together, making the players believe and also coming up with a way to get results. Obviously they have a lot of work to do still and the WC might come to soon. But there's some real talent in the squad and the way they underachieved in the qualification was remarkable, truly remarkable. JDT is a clown.
