I didn't realise there was that much money in windows, but yes, Glaziers frequently overcharge. :whistle:

I think we will have to agree to disagree and time will show which of us is right. For the future bounce, my prediction is this will happen, be very successful but only in the short term. The league will be inflated by the likes of Shanghai and LA Galaxy to grow the "local markets" and...

So, are you suggesting that the owners of these clubs have not done their homework on the reactions in each of their markets? A vocal minority will side with Europe on this but it is wishful thinking to believe that the majority of the Glazers et al. target market won't lap this up.

Exactly this. Put in a transfer request. Refuse to leave the bench. Refuse to train. These sorts of actions will not be viewed as they normally would be and the players would be picked up by other teams the second they were released with no tarnish on their image whatsoever. Any player...

Shirley just reiterating what they have said all along. Do this and you are out of EUFA & FIFA controlled football. Which of course means they would need to give FIFA a *huge* donation in order to buy a seat back at the table. Everything leaked from the pirate 6 suggest they are happy to have...

They are hurting their image in a tiny, miniscule corner of one market for their brand. And they don't give a f*ck about that. Do the Chinese, Malaysians, Indians, etc care about this? No. They want it. Their "team" playing only globally recognised brands. Great!. Utter tosh that we, as...

There are 50k or so STH at ManU, maybe another 1/2million arm chair fans around the country. Both numbers are utterly dwarfed by the reported 143million fans worldwide. To believe that the Glazers give even a hint of a f*ck about their UK "Legacy" fans is naive in the extreme. They absolutely...

They support the status quo, but aren't stupid enough to exclude themselves from a new status quo!

Jose?

Two leagues, one on US & S.America timezones, one on Asian timezones, 10 teams in each. play-offs/final in hired venues in Europe to cater for both markets. (or alternative between US/Asia and cut Europe out altogether)

Not sure the likes of Shanghai or LA Galaxy give two sh1ts tbh. This is never going to be about European football and the guest clubs will be to grow the appeal of the league in various global markets. No different to, say, Israel being in the Eurovision Song Contest. Europe can have very...

...or money. It might be about money. Definitely "Merit and Sporting Success" or money. One or the other.

But closer parity [financially] between the EPL and EFL would be a good thing for competitiveness etc.

Nothing to protest. All good news.

This. They can all f*ck right off. Don't want and don't need them. PL would be infinitely better with some competition which happen if you remove those teams.
