I agree with you that the Sky (and BT) money creating such a massive divide between PL and FLC is a massive problem, but how can you stop someone who wants to pay silly money for broadcasting rights? Are they supposed to turn it down? That's not going to go down well with clubs, turning down...

But the MLS does have salary capping. If anything the designated player can cause huge problems because they earn so much more than everyone else. It's not a good way to foster team spirit IMO. Plus the MLS runs a franchise system - the league holds the 'share' and they can give it to someone...

I guess you're talking about parachute payments etc. Personally I'd remove them because as you say it gives an unfair advantage to those clubs that have just been relegated, but they're there because clubs will have signed players on big long contracts that are unsustainable without PL TV...

It's not though is it. It's a meritocracy. Better players earn more because they play in a higher league and get more game time. It's both a fair system and one that protects clubs, which are community assets as well as businesses, from either fickle billionnaire owners using them as playthings...

Apart from a few I think the vast majority of our fans if in their situation would see that it was a load of kids clearly not yet ready for that level forced to play and that by doing so they're partly responsible for keeping the club going in terms of fulfilling fixtures. Apart from adge...

Yeah I'd have thought the fans would give the youngsters a lot of leeway and be supportive of them during the game. Before and after there could be protests aimed at the board/administrator/the guy who's blocked the sale etc. But I'd really be amazed if they set on the youngsters even if we were...

I think the result is expunged and we lose the three points if they're kicked out, but don't take that as gospel.

I've thought about this before and it can be done without salary capping. My proposal would work better with squad caps, but it's not entirely necessary. You take the fixed/guaranteed revenue from TV/sponsors etc and every member of the squad gets a 'basic wage' from the FPP percentage of that...

Only been to Bolton once - we won 5-1 I think with Dublin and Huckerby. Really liked the design of the stadium - it was one of the first of the 'new' bowl-style stadiums built.

He is very raw, but he hasn't come from an established academy so that's arguably to be expected. MR clearly thinks highly of him and wants him to develop, but I think he needs to time in the U23 than first team to do that. I certainly can't see the reason why he's being fast-tracked towards...

I agree that over the course of their whole history Wolves are probably a bigger club than us. But the catchment area? We're a larger city, we're both about the same distance from Birmingham but between them they've got West Brom and Walsall. We've got Nuneaton, Bedworth and Solihull. In other...

Ironically wasps won't go anywhere near another nest.

I can see the facebook/twitter lot giving him loads for it. He also doesn't seem to me to be one who'd handle the criticism well either - almost a childlike need for attention. I guess that's why he uses his middle name rather than his first name, Nunto.

Of course it is - it's electoral fraud. I'd suggest it's bullshit because 1. you don't need to take your polling card and 2. admitting it on social media would likely end up in a prison sentence. Would be funny as fuck if he got sent down for something he didn't actually do. I've always assumed...

But we've got a lot of new players in so how will they effectively play a system they've not been coached on what the manager expects from them? Positionally and tactically players will be expected to do different things.

Should you really have been buying her drinks?

Over £1bn spent on PL transfers this summer, god knows how many millions in wages and agents fees. One Harry Maguire would probably keep our entire league afloat for a season.

There are no Premier League prima donnas. Premier League started in 1992, Madonna was born in 1958

I think Hillborough has had an effect, because with all-seater everyone must have a ticket to show where they're meant to be sitting. Before with pay on the gate you paid yer money and a chap pressed a button to let you through the turnstile. That'd mean you'd have to have a load of pre-printed...

Alexander is not eloquent. He just uses antiquated langauage to either entertain people or flummox them so they're too busy concentrating on trying to work out what on Earth he's on about rather than what he's actually saying.
