Well said. I've worked for American companies before and we have a US division in my current one. Met loads of really great people, and very different people both physically and virtually. None of them are the sort who are about to invade Iraq or commit a mass shooting or something. Am also...

In fact, the one thing that might actually hasten a closed shop EPL is more competition for City. History tells us that the less competitive a league is, the MORE levers are put in to make the rest of the league exciting. Playoffs for promotion, the top / bottom six split in Scotland because...

There will be pressure for a closed shop at some point, whether it's a new cuddly ESL or no relegation from the EPL. But it won't be a result of "the Yanks taking over". We know fan power killed the last ESL and as I posted at the start of this thread the TV will not have a closed shop PL so...

Exactly what I posted earlier. Of the ESL clubs less than half are American owned. And, let's be honest, when players are demanding 400k a week to play you have to be a billionaire to own a big club. Reducing that to simply "aren't the yanks awful" IS political. God forbid if anything happened...

Of the 12 clubs who proposed it, five currently have American owners and four did when the proposal was made. (I know you know this bit but for everyone else) The three Spanish clubs are owned by their members as clubs over there are, Man City by Abu Dhabi (effectively), Inter by Suning who...

I'd argue that where they do think similarly is in an effort to beat each other and effectively be "best billionaire" which means, funnily enough, innovation and doing things their way, not colluding together. If you really think that Boehly, FSG and the guys that run Barnsley are some kind of...

I'm pointing out that yours and JRG's justification for your theory is basically "all Americans think exactly the same". Now, let's swap the word "American" for "Arabs" or "black people" and what have we got?

:lolol: Typical JRG. A massive, multi part essay that most won’t read, and therefore challenge, culminating in a crowbarred in call for your real passion, socialism on a global scale. What you and Swansman share is anti Americanism and therefore an agenda. Oh, and also not living in the...

Genuinely not. In the medium term at least I can't see Brighton or Brentford going down without coming straight back up within a season or two. The Bloom family will stay in charge here and the Benhams at Brentford. We are literally a template that's being copied by Chelsea and Newcastle but...

Erm, no. Nice picture though. Is it you?

Go and have a sit down in the armchair, Grandpops. :wink: :kiss:

Well, there'd be huge resistance from fans and bigger resistance from the TV companies who pay the majority of the Premier League's bills. We've allowed ourselves to have a situation where the League is won every season by Manchester City and the big story up top last season was which North...
