They've balanced the books by making sure that they haven't signed any expensive, high profile players on mega wages with little resale value.

villa4europe Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 same as the leaked messi contract it defies logic and sound thinking and therefore doesnt make sense and sounds exaggerated puts him on 210m per year, the second highest contracts in all of team sports* are towns and booker in the NBA who earn circa £50m per year, Mahomes with the biggest NFL contract is £40m a year, so he earns 4x that of the 2nd highest earner in team sports, how could a team be that stupid? there's no benchmark within football to justify paying him like that, it's what messi and neymar reportedly earn combined * Canelo Alvarez has the biggest non team sport and his is around £70m per year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Quote Champions League 24/25 format: Football Manager fans experience competition's new plans The Champions League is going to look very different come the 2024/25 season. UEFA announced the greatest club competition in Europe is set for a huge revamp in a few seasons’ time. But how will it look? The Champions League format in 2024/25 Uefa say: "The pivotal change in the reforms announced by the UEFA Executive Committee after its meeting on 19 April 2021 is the departure from the current format’s opening 32-team group stage. The present Champions League season begins with participants divided into eight groups of four. From the 2024/25 season, there will be a single league made up of all 36 competing clubs. This will give four more sides the opportunity to compete against the best clubs in Europe. "Under the new format, teams will play four matches more than is currently the case. They will no longer play three opponents twice – home and away – but will instead face fixtures against 10 different teams, half of them at home and half of them away. This gives the opportunity for clubs to test themselves against a wider range of opponents – and also raises the prospect of fans seeing the top teams go head to head more often earlier in the competition. The new format should mean that there is more to play for right up until the final night of league action." How will the knockout rounds work? UEFA say: "The results of each match will decide the overall ranking in the new league, with three points for a win and one for a draw still applying. "While the top eight teams will advance automatically to the round of 16, those sides placed between ninth and 24th will enter a play-off round. Those who finished between ninth and 16th will be seeded in the play-off draw, meaning they will face a team placed 17th to 24th – with home advantage in the second-leg match. Teams who finish 25th or lower will be eliminated, with no access to the UEFA Europa League. "The eight clubs who prevail in the play-offs will then progress to the round of 16 where they will each face one of the top-eight finishers." Football fans discover the new Champions League format on Football Manager In short, the Champions League will change dramatically. But it wasn't until the release of the new Football Manager game that some football fans understood exactly how it'll work. Now, after the release of the popular game, fans have had the opportunity to experience the 2024/25 format of the Champions League. An image of the 36-team league for the competition has been doing the rounds on social media, leaving many utterly confused by what was going on. No, it's not a FM23 bug. That's exactly how the Champions League will look come 2023/24.

Zatman Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Watching the FIFA Uncovered Documentary and while its interesting its nothing we havent really known before but I actually begrudgingly respect Jack Warner. That man is absolutely corrupt and he knows he is and that people are aware of it and he has very little shame in it.

Yes, that seems to be very common. There is *so much* dirty money washing around in English football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their sleeve sponsor has already increased from £1.5m to £7.5m which blows market value out of the water When the main shirt sponsor comes available it will be eye watering The disappointing thing will be Nike and Adidas will be chomping at the bit to get involved too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
