UEFA have already expressed regret about selling the CL rights to BT Sport and not to free terrestrial TV. The TV ratings have taken a slide and they're not happy. What did they expect? It's a 3 year deal so we'll see if they sell the rights back to ITV or carve up the games like they used to. I hope fans resist paying for this shite. F1 is on the verge of fucking themselves over with their silly exclusive deal with Sky. Unfortunately, I can't see football tanking unless rocked by a similar scandal seen in Serie A.Quote:

Right now the money men know it's smart to get in, but when they figure it's smart to get out it will be a ghost town.
Can't wait. Then maybe we'll be back to local kids kicking around on dirt pitches, which is where real football gets played anyway. I wouldn't mind but these millionaire players aren't even that good. Nowhere near as good as the players I grew up with. And the game sucks, except in South America where it's still a passion more than big business.

ITKs are saying it's on
Wake up ffs, no chance in hell :haha:
He wants a pay increase
even if a miracle happened and we signed Lacazette and Mustafi it all feels so underwhelming to me....
Monsieur could be handed the best 11 on the planet and he'd still find a way to fuck it up. The message has been going far and wide for a decade now. We are in the last couple of windows where we can attract the big names. I wonder how many are watching Ozil and Alexis now and thinking there but for the grace...? A couple more windows and nobody will want to come here. This dithering imbecile is driving everything into an inevitable reverse. Players will be racing out the door. Maybe that's why he came up with his latest bullshit about the best players being in the lower leagues.Quote:
