I like the Irish dude.
I freaking hate it. Both those dudes are selling and it’s annoying. You don’t have to work so hard for a Champions League semifinal; you’re commentating on some of the best clubs in the world (and also Dortmund).
I agree to a point.
Oh, that dude was suuuper annoying when he did Newcastle games. The above line, and similar lines, can be funny. The problem was, he was shooting off one every minute, it seemed. Is it stand up comedy or soccer? Ugh.
Absolutely! 100 percent. Calm down, people.
I wish Financial Fair Play rules really were a thing. You don't have to wonder why they are winning.
I wish they were an actual thing and not a "the old rich get to stay rich and screw anyone else" set of rules. Because, let's be real--they're only actual rules if you're poor or not septic 6. Everton? Points deductions. Forrest? Points deductions. Man City? We'll drag our feet and never actually do anything. Newcastle couldn't spend a penny in January or the league would have nailed them to a wall, because they're using FFP to maintain status quo. It's a huge joke.
You got me seconds before I posted a picture.
Yeah, it's a total joke.
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.
Due process matters.
So does acknowledging nepotism.
But it isn't remotely like that. It's "Those who have money and spent it before these ridiculous rules went into place" live by a different set of rules. Newcastle aren't allowed to do what Chelski and Liverfool and City did. It's ludicrous. If a team has money and can sustainably invest, without fear of going into administration, they should be allowed to.
This is farcical. Due process matters here means that City can do what they want for years but the league pounces on teams like Everton and Forrest. What about their "due process?"
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 imposed wage limit to sign Salah to his latest contract.
Perhaps not Liverpool as much as the others, but they have thrown out astronomical amounts of fees for players. Despite their outgoings, they have spent far more than Newcastle, which is why I bristled so much at Klopp's whiny "we can't compete with Newcastle" comments.
