Nothing changes, same average players just for more and more ridiculous prices. No club ever lives well within it's means. No saving for a rainy day. Clubs probably have much fatter revenues now then they ever have, so in a perverse way these fees probably are sustainable if you take transfer spend as a % of revenue vs that % lets say 15 years ago. The danger for clubs is that a big source of revenues coming from TV companies like Sky, you could argue that the bidding for Premier League rights could become something of a bubble.

I think that ship has sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slovenian Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 wow, they are losing to domzale - nice little family club with 300 fans (transfermarkt value 220 Th. € vs whu 6,39 Mill. €). they really are shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Didn't they do this last year, went out of europa in the qualifiers to a pub team? Didn't seem to affect them much in the premier league... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slovenian Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) ft now, game finished with 2:1 scoreline ... domzale were walking all over them, game should finish with 3:1 or 4:1 14 minutes ago, VillaChris said: Didn't they do this last year, went out of europa in the qualifiers to a pub team? Didn't seem to affect them much in the premier league... i think they played in europe because of the old fair play system? indeed, they were knocked out very early, they are not taking this europe games seriously. or are they simply shite?

VillaChris Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Blimey just seen the team they put out...last year it was mixture of kids and reserves, this year pretty much the first team bar Payet. Would still expect a comfortable win at home for them next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Teams from bigger leagues always just scrape through European matches at this stage as they are still a few weeks away from the season and not fully fit. Still expect west ham to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 1st game at stadium is vs Domzale next week. I expect an occasion for it, probably if was on Sky they could mimic the closing of Upton Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 watching bits of game and I think the stadium will do them more harm than good this season. Better teams will enjoy it compared to Upton Park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 reduced to 55k for a while. They should have it to 60k soon. They have the go ahead for 66k for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
