Under pressure from the six richest clubs, the league's executive chairman Richard Scudamore has proposed ending a quarter of a century of the equal sharing of international broadcasting income. This seems bad, albeit not really possible. quote:But despite a week of concerted lobbying, with a two-thirds majority required to approve any changes, Scudamore's plan is set to be rejected.

Leicester have been told by FIFA they can't have an exception for submitting a transfer request 14 seconds late, and Adrien Silva now can't be registered to play until January. Most houses have clocks more than 14s out from each other ffs, seems a ludicrous decision which I doubt would happen to a bigger club.

I'm sure Chelsea, Spurs and Manchester United were a stark contrast and said immediately to Scudamore "no money, please. We have quite enough." Anyway, don't put it down to Klopp. FSG have been pretty adamant about this since they took over Liverpool.

Speaking of defenders: how the gently caress did Spurs manage to get £18m for Kevin Wimmer. They bought him for like 4m, barely played him and now he's worth 18m? How? He been really poor for Stoke so far. When the defence is fit again I can only see him being 4th, maybe even 5th choice How can a midtable club like Stoke justify spending so much on such a nothing player? Then again the manager did spend 18.3m on Imbula, 12 - 15m on Berahino and 13m on Joe Allen (I like Allen but there is no way he's been worth that much to us). £61m spent on a dodgy defender, a piece of poo poo that doesn't want to play football, a striker that can't score and a Dean Whitehead. Nice spending Sparky.

I’m not sure what good saying “maybe I can leave in January” to the media this early in the season does though. It just makes Saints fans want to keep him out of spite and let him rot on the bench, I imagine.

kcer posted:those tv deals for american sports Weirdly american sports have almost the opposite of this - they handicap the teams that do well by giving them last pick of new players in the draft. That combined with a salary cap (which most teams hit) is meant to encourage competition. Re premier league: Why would a board of 20 managers vote in something that benefits only 6 of them? I guess the table there for 2016-17 the present split - i.e. what happened last year. So if the top teams already earn 50% more than the lower teams, what are they complaining about? It's pointless having a competition where the top teams get such an advantage, and considering they're already mostly funded by oil-states, why do they need money?

Tsaedje posted:The hovering threat of a breakaway european super league is the only weapon the big clubs actually have It's also been my impression that compared to other countries' top leagues, England has less clubs with existential financial problems. They don't have to bend over backwards to appease the big clubs with international followings or face ruin. Even the ratings and revenue generated by the lower tiers of English football are pretty healthy. Hopefully, the English don't ruin that just so Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, the Manchester clubs, or Liverpool can have a better shot of winning more European Cups.
