Manchester United to continue trophyless would be great, particularly for their fans in Winchester!!!!
Winchester....blooming northerners. Well, to people on the Isle of Wight anyway. Come to think of it, Southampton are also dirty northern bastards
Looking at that list makes it harder to put money on us, but still think we will. Everton Leeds Leicester Wolves to beat. You’d think.
Good no. He is relegation fodder/championship level. Classic case of being over rated as he came through the academy at a big club
Good job it's the richest and best league in the world. Or something. On a serious note that could potentially cause us some real problems.
If my crap maths are right that’s a maximum £9.4m a year that will cost Saints. News story says it was a decision made for financial reasons...
I am not against five subs. People think it will benefit the big clubs, however I didn't help Man City or United against us. I also don't mind drinks breaks even if people think it is tactically cheating. I would rather see competitive games. Hopefully we can watch all Saints games that are not allowing fans into them.
What I liked about the 5 sub rule was that the big clubs took it as a chance to play their 'lesser' players against the likes of us. Sort of lulled into a false sense of security. When it all went wrong for them (Man City v us), bringing on KDB didn't work as the damage had been done. In other words the bigger sides resting their big guns (knowing they can bring them on) gives us a chance if you get what i mean.
Any US posters on here? I have a Peacock sub for the games that NBC Sports Gold used to have - does this replace that?
So far I’m not yet able to see how they will break down the games. I expect to get that information early next week. Once I see it I’ll post it.
Given the media monies are distributed evenly, i'm guessing its a bigger financial penalty to the clubs that achieve more through prize money and being broadcast more etc. Is my understanding correct on this front? However, we're probably more vulnerable than others from the perspective that this money is potentially worth more as a percentage of our revenue? It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the TV revenue income per team as a percentage of their overall income? I am actually more concerned by Gao and the fact we are under Chinese ownership. Given the Chinese state is actively trying to damage foreign businesses in relation to political slights, is their potential for influence to be used on Gao (and similar owners) to actively damage premier league businesses. I.e. stop funding, damage finances, actively waste money or sell players under price etc?
The fact that it was defeated and came back says to me that a couple of the big clubs pushed for it to return.
