Seems to me they moved the FA cup final so they can claim '3 full weeks proper end of season break for everyone' without an asterisk.

Vegetable posted:Replays are real bad considering how many games teams already play For pl sides maybe, but for lower league clubs a replay against big side can literally double or treble their revenue for the year. And if the PL sides have too many games... a-bloo-bloo, who cares? Buy more players, play fewer friendlies, make sure you win your matches, or hell, throw them if it's really so terrible to spend a spare Tuesday evening travelling to Port Vale.

Surely the best way to increase the value of the FA Cup, both financially and competitively, is to give the big clubs the option of loving off.

We're going to give Kidderminster Harriers an extra £5k in TV money to ensure they don't get an unlikely replay and make an extra £250k

this isn't new, but "hurr durr play less friendlies" is dumb as long as it's not a beer league and players aren't going to show up for matchweek one having not run or eaten green things for three months. Players are not being run into the ground by jogging around for 45 minutes in Cincinatti (because people there are dumb enough to pay $250 to watch a warm-up game) in order to get them ready for competitive games during the season. the actual real problem here is the Champions League is now bigger and stupider than ever, plus there's a month-long tournament now every June for the rest of time, so there literally aren't enough feasible dates to run two cup competitions and have the possibility of games needing to be replayed later, so something has to give this is of course all fine because Barry will write in to say how he drives a truck for 14-hours a day and his wife still left him, so there's no reason why a millionaire athlete can't just perform at 100% year-round until their ACL implodes

Worried about Chelsea breaking financial rules? Well fear not, it turns out they just barely squeaked under the limit for losses last year, thanks to a sudden windfall of £76.5m by selling two hotels from Chelsea FC Holdings Ltd to Blueco 22 Properties Ltd. I assure you, it's just a coincidence that Chelsea FC Holdings Ltd and Blueco 22 Properties Ltd are both subsidiaries of Chelsea’s holding company, Blueco 22 Ltd. This is all fair and above board and definitely the sort of financial dealings that all clubs have access to no matter how rich their owners are.

Wow would you look at that, Blueco 22 wanted to hire a venue for a week long conference and it turns out they paid £15,000 for each burger served up to each of the 500 attending delegates.

TBF the prem league had the option to close this exact loophole a couple years ago and declined, I imagine they will have to implement a new rule to exempt real estate from ffp calculations in the future but for now it is completely within the rules.

Sheffield United are now just 1 goal away from the 38-game record for goals conceded and 12 away from the 42-game record. They're also still in with a shot at the worst ever goal difference (-69) (nice)
