I read the word unsustainable as a bubble personally. Its going to pop. The consequences of the bubble is exactly what you said. clubs left in leeds position as they have over paid and have huge wages they cannot pay.

I also agree the inactivity there has to be related to the stadium.

Clubs will only be in the cart if the next TV deal goes massively backwards and they're sat with a massive debt on the balance sheet that suddenly looks unsustainable.

The next TV deal could well go backwards, but not to the extent that will see clubs dropped immediately in the **** imo. The balloon won't pop, but there could well be a slow deflation, which will give clubs 3 years to cut their cloth accordingly.

The only reason Levy has come out and said that is due to no activity in the transfer market other than Walker. Their fans must be bored ****less with nothing happening. Levy is trying to convince them he knows best.

He might well have a point, but the timing of him saying it makes it clear why he's saying it.

It's an excuse for him being a tightfisted arsehole, this year he has the stadium expansion to hide behind.

What's his surname again? <laugh>

we will never get that especially from them unfortunately.

Watford and someone else in prem will only pay 8.. i can't remember who it is.

klopp is advertising him as "now fit" so he is advertising please bid.

you sound like an economist in 2008.

Poor retort. You need to think about what you're actually trying to predict i.e. how far the current TV revenues would have to fall before it would cause a catastrophic outcome for the majority of PL clubs and in what timescale. Come back to me when you've done the maths. <ok>

Is that a similar argument to teams who get relegated from prem who get parachute payments that gives them a few years to sort their ****e out?

Living in Milan, playing for one of the European power houses, on decent money and enjoying the sun and good shopping lifestyle etc.

Yeah ****ing nightmare lol.

I have been to Milan. It's ****ing cold and misarable in autumn/winter and they are hardly a powerhouse at the moment, they just have a bit of history.

I guess they will have Tuesday/wed/thurs off as they don't have European football

How long is the current TV deal? That's how long, as a minimum, that the gravy train will last unless Sky go bust. Fact is, the deal is driven by demand and as long as the Premier league has the demand...or increasing demand, this will not stop. Even through the worst global recession in our lifetimes (so far), the TV money increased. I see no (immediate) end to it. Only when the likes of all on here begin to think that football has been ruined by the money, will demand fall....

I don't think its that simple. I don't buy this a defensive coach stuff. The issues we see are:

a) team height on set piece. The midfield offer nothing to the defence on set play except for blocking runs or can who is tall. Our full backs are all average to short... this is an issue.

b) team formations, patterns and decision making. We have a very clear pattern klopp drills and drills and drills. who comes out, where the gaps are, how to drop back in etc. This works... its when people make bad decisions especially lovren and klavan or people go missing that is the issue. I see gamblers playing for us. and lack of concentration at times.... if you get out of position or you panic or you gamble and then fail thats where goals come from.

c) we are total **** on clearing second ball. Often we fail to get it even out of pen area. give sides 2/3 bites of the cherry. Carragher would sort this by having lads hit row z. however i see a lot of guys just panic and slice it when a calm head puts the laces through it or a solid header.

IMO adding VVD is just once element. a massive guy who can head the ball and is quick. that deals with A but not really with B totally. his pace helps there.

Clyne ar RB is short.

Keita is short

Robinson and milner are short.

The entire front line are at best average height..


I am willing to predict if we get the IDEAL summer for klopp we will still se set piece goal leakage as sides will simply play the ball away from our big CBs or win the second ball.

clearing that second ball would take 10 goals off our GA column

Can is tall, but he's mediocre, even dire at set-piece defending. I still blame him for Benteke's second goal against Palace. Windy and Lalla are not going to get their heads to too many crosses, and Hendo, whilst tall, isn't exactly going to shove the likes of Giroud, Carroll or Zlatan out the way. Funnily enough, one of the best, considering his size, was Lucas. Didn't have a lot going for him, but he fearless in putting his head in between the flying elbows.

It will only go bust in my opinion when clubs stop taking the piss with prices of fans who actually go to games. What we pay subscription to watch games on TV is **** all to the poor sods who make the effort to go to games. That's when I think it will burst personally.
 
Can someone explain to me the exact definition of "tapping up", because I think I must have it wrong.
I keep reading reports that Coutinho has agreed terms with Barca, but LFC have said he's not for sale.
