Lichfield Dean Posted December 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2021 How have we managed to have the biggest losses in the top two divisions over the last decade? We've even lost more than Manchester "money sink" City. Staggering. £455m!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an indication of poor ownerships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted December 22, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2021 It may bring in increased money for the short term but I suspect it would get old fast. The exclusivity is the selling point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Really hope UEFA goes to war against this biannual WC crap fest. Refuse to release their players other than every 4 years. Pull their clubs from the FIFA club WC tournament and so on. Won't happen of course but Qatar pretty much owns UEFA and the Saudis pretty much own FIFA so might be a conflict of interests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 What will all this do to the domestic game, I'm pretty sure whatever happens it will only benefit the tip of the pyramid. Will citeh and co need bigger squads etc, will it end up with every top player and prospect being swallowed up by the scum12? Surely further saturation of the game can only speed up the death of the lower leagues, or will better standards spread faster through the game and boost those that need help.
