football panellists should be selected like a jury. random ex-players who have better places to be and sigh loudly into their mics while checking their watches on camera

wooger posted:They also have the same issue that UK comedy panel shows have too: a given set of ex footballer pundits are on everything all the time regardless of talent or likeability, 100% based on being signed up to a specific talent agency, very often one where the spouse of the show producer works. Yep. Example : Taskmaster, a show produced by a talent agency who sell their own talent to their own production. At this point it's basically in the initial representation contract.

Here’s my impression of the downright awful punditry that fans have to endure from anyone other than rebecca lowe and the two Robbie’s *feigned indignity and righteousness in a barely intelligible accent* You just can’t do that. Unless you’re my co-host when he played in that match in 1997 on a Tuesday in stoke, right? *forced laughter from everyone in the room in unison* HAHAAHHAHA

That’s why the guy bought Strasbourg, a club that can buy all the players that don’t work at Chelsea for stupidly inflated sums and then collapse after an FFP investigation

It's not really a loophole, it's how numbers work in football. It's just dangerous to offer contracts that long, and FFP at it's core is mostly trying to prevent another Portsmouth/Rangers/Parma situation. So it makes sense that FFP would remove the accounting incentive to offer long contacts. The US sports leagues all have rules on maximum contract length for the owner's benefit
