https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/04/09/relevent-fifa-legal-fight-deal FIFA and U.S. promoter Relevent Sports have reached an agreement to “end their legal fight over the ban on big European football leagues and clubs playing official matches in the US,” Relevent yesterday told th...
It'd be a brave (or extremely expensive) lender that would take on sales for a club in our financial predicament when you consider that if we go bust or into administration it's the credit company that has the contract with (and so the liability to) STHs, but would only be a teeny tiny creditor wit...
Makes me f*cking sick that the points deductions are so light. The PL could and should have followed the same as the EFL. 12 points reduced to 6 if they follow budgets set with salary caps and transfer embargos. Break that set budget and the other 6 points come off. The PL have f*cked this up so ba...
Someone on Twitter has noticed the Premier League have started running attack ads regarding a regulator for football: https://twitter.com/sgfmann/status/1777242796086227366 The one found was oddly placed in the middle of an article about David Cameron going to the US in an attempt to get military a...
2 divisions of 20 would absolutely not work in Scotland. When you consider that the SPL is already a 3 tier league, padding that out with another 10 clubs, some of which would be part time would only add fuel to the Auld Firm wanting to leave. It wouldn't work. The SPL is actually an interesting Le...
Fans refusing to acknowledge that their rival club is any good, has some good players, had a good performance etc because they think it makes them look like an even bigger fan of their club That's not just football-re8ed. The kind of blind tribalism applies especially across politics and (to a less...
No finance option available. Does seem odd, albeit I think it was only last season I found out finance was even an option. I imagine if you contact the club, as you'd like have to anyway to arrange for it, they'd give you details on that. It'd be a brave (or extremely expensive) lender that would t...
NathStPaul City look better without Haaland as weird as that sounds.
No, makes sense. When he's playing the obvious, easy ball is to play it to him - when he's not, they're forced to be a bit more creative and inventive which suits them a lot more.
Bit of a tangent, but I saw the play "Dear England" last week - it's available as part of the National Theatre Live scheme, a filmed live stage performance. Definitely would massively recommend it - very funny and also poignant at times, it covers the appointment of Southgate and covers hi...
Torquay United Supporters' Trust announced a bid to buy the club, "working in partnership with a consortium of passionate businessmen who are all long-standing supporters."
It's the downs in the National League that I find most fascinating. Oxford City in 24th place are as good as doomed, but the next ten points from 42 to 52 span 14 teams, right up to Rochdale in 1oth place, who are only eight points outside the play-offs. In fact, ten teams span the five points betwe...
genuinely baffled at top PL clubs pushing up season ticket prices when they are raking in so much money from elsewhere Man City announce they are pushing up season ticket prices. Seen someone online estimate it will bring in the club roughly an extra £2.5M per season. They have pissed off their fan...
Micah is up to his normal tricks the f u cking virgin, we`re already gone blah blah blah, getting games abandoned won`t make any difference blah blah blah. Why the shitting how is it always him with his small army of kiddy followers? Lets get this straight, if we have a team in August it will be a ...
I "academically" consider Oxford, Swindon, and Aldershot our rivals, but there's no venom there. I have much more hatred for West Ham (both for Pardew and because of their Allardyce-era thuggery), Cardiff, and anyone associated with Neil Warnock. Same. Not the warnock thuggery, but the Ke...
