Exactly my point. They weren't slotted when Fitz was around and he maximized his deal. Let's not call him a saint in this regard.
(even though he is my favorite Card of all time)
Yes, they are owned by the people. But the people don't inject money every year to fund it.
You know how much you get when you win the Champions League final? Man City throughout their run last year got 80M. That's nowhere near the nearly 800M they spent last year.
Except that they weren't back in 2004 when he was drafted. Nice try. Phillip Rivers sat out the entire preseason in the year Fitz was drafted.
Slotted contracts like we see them now were a part of the 2011 CBA. Before 2011, nobody wanted to be the first person to sign a deal.
If you knew how Liverpool has operated, they have NOT done what you said they did. They have a very fixed budget and have so for the entire FSG ownership. The money that they have spent has largely been paid for by selling players. It took them months to finally decide to break their own...
I have done Cards in London. I just got back from Germany like 2 weeks ago, but I visited the Western part. I would love do to the Eastern side including Munich/Berlin.
NIL wasn't around in Fitz's time. Besides, he wouldn't have signed the deal either IMO. He wasn't exactly hurting for money like most college athletes and he KNEW he would be a high draft pick.
This is analogous of a music star signing a 4 album deal at the beginning of their career and then...
It is not only the big six, but it is the choice of the smaller clubs not to fight it as much, because that costs millions of dollars as well. It is just like the American legal justice system. Those with money have a different set of rules.
You want to send a message? Ban City from Europe...
I played it pretty religiously for a couple weeks, even solo. Now I only play when my friends wanna hop on, maybe once a week for a few hours.
I think I'm level 41 and have all but the most expensive ship modules that were added recently.
The term mandingo will need to be added to our filter. It is completely unappropriate.
I'll chalk this one to ignorance, but further use before filter is in place will have repercussions
