    I watch a match for 10 minutes and I end up switching off.
    The big clubs fill me with total disdain.
    I just really ain't that bothered im quite happy just catching 5 mins of City highlights.

    Wages are insane at so many clubs
    No way are some of the so called stars worth £200,000 plus a week.

    Scarborough first goal on Saturday would have been on goal of the month on Match of the day but the player who scored it will only be on £100 quid expenses if that.

    Will still take my niece to some city away games as she has HULL CITY fever .

    I do have a tie to Scarborough having lived in Hull for my first 16 years

    And Scarborough / filey area for 45 years

    Take care everyone

    Spot on very good idea. I would have thought the Premier league would have favoured that, as why the EPL is so popular abroad is the competitiveness of the league, and your suggestion would help that.

    'Some clubs with the highest revenue believe they should receive a greater slice of international money, in line with their global marketability and investment.'

    If there isn't a competitive bottom half then the premier league has no value, part of what makes the league so marketable is the fact smaller teams can cause upsets and effect the title race. Without a high standard of opposition the big clubs would struggle to sell the rights to anyone.

    Not sure the La Liga guy could cope with that. On the one hand, Real Madrid and Barcelona may once again be able to compete with Qatar St Germain and UAE Hunter.

    On the other hand, the teams remaining in La Liga will probably lose all their best players to the European league.

    This just fills me with Rage.
    They already have £50 million more in prize money from Prem position.
    The Kit deals are worth up to £80 million a year.
    There's then the Shirt sponsors.
    I mean Man U get about £10 million plus a year for training kit sponsor.
    God knows what shirt sponsor is.
    Then there's the 10s of millions from the UEFA ( Spanish) Champions league cup thingy.
    ****ing Bastards.

    Niece is now 16 and she is going to all home games still as she has 2 passes for her and her sister or friend

    She said she was a bit scared after Birmingham as some test of about 50 from brum was behind her and her friend as she walked back to car and giving them loads of foul abuse

    ****ing ****s

    I will take girls to away games starting with Barnsley away and make sure they get to about 10 away games so they not lose out

    :)

    Scarborough is just easier to get to at present for home games having had loads of tests lately and a bit more tired at times

    I am fine though

    No Chemo needed yet

    Away games I can get to coaches at the stadium and get picked up when coaches get back.

    Lifes Good

    Sorry to piss on everyone's bonfire and all that but here's the reason the 14 other clubs won't vote for it

    FEAR

    I'll explain why.

    Any new rules such as this can't be enacted immediately - it could only be adopted in future seasons. 3 of the current 14 teams will be Championship clubs in May and would not benefit from the change (if it started next season for example).

    Every owner would be ****ting themselves that they would be relegated before the new rules come into effect and then having to compete with relegated clubs in future seasons that have benefitted from the change.

    That wouldn't influence it in the slightest, none of them were opposed to the massive increase in revenue with the most recent TV deal were they? By your logic they would have opposed that in case they were relegated that season and didn't benefit from it themselves.

    Premier League clubs "unanimously agree" ... to completely disagree about overseas TV cash split. No vote. No deal. Resume it next month.

    I'd be astounded if a single club voted on that basis.

    It's a lovely idea but wouldn't work for a few reasons.

    If you get paid more for doing badly in a league, suspicions would be raised every time you lost a game.

    Say a team was 14th in March and were mathematically safe to stay up but not finish in the top 10. Why not lose the remaining games in the hope of finishing 17th and not 14th so you get more money?

    I agree with the sentiment tho. The only way things would ever get near to being equal is a salary and transfer fee cap.

    Does it happen in American Football? Their draft system works the same way doesn't it?

    Unless it's changed since I learnt about it, the NFL has a system where the lowest placed team gets the first pick from the pool of players coming out of the college system every year. So the motivation to lose a dead rubber at the end of the season should theoretically be the same in that system. Maybe the American winning mentality prevents it, I dunno.

    Ah right. That's quite interesting. I wonder how well it works?

    Mind you, if we did have SCB's system here, a manager would be fired by Ehab for finishing above 17th!
