and then what?

ldu quito vs boca in 10 minutes, should be decent lads

haha yeah

sorry, I'm drinking and watching movies til I pass out

And take steps to ensure a situation like this never happens again.

So you mean you just want them to say theres an issue and thats it? Fine they're idiots but they can't do anything regardless, the situation isn't their fault

>take steps
such as?

What can they actually do though? There are always going to be owners who just decide they've had enough and refuse to put any more money in. You can do as many checks as you like to make sure the money is there, there's no mechanism to make them spend it.

I don't know what you could do change this.

Same place, same fans, same club, same honours. I remain unconvinced.

>Bail the clubs out
Bayern did that with Dortmund.

haha yeah

Nationalise Bury & Bolton. NOW.

fans should buy the clubs tbqh

Except not same honours. If United disappeared and AFC Manchester City United F.C. came up, it would not have the same honours as the original club. That's kind of the point. The trophies say United, not Manchester City United.

>So you mean you just want them to say theres an issue and thats it?
Of course not. What I'd want them to do is admit they have a part to play in all of the shit that's gone on down the years. Christ, the previous chief exec of the EFL was head of Bradford and Leeds when both of them almost went down the shitter.

>Fine they're idiots but they can't do anything regardless, the situation isn't their fault
This latest iteration is, considering they allowed Dale to take over without full approval.

>Such as?
Actually make the Owners and Directors' Test effective and not just a bunch of rubbish.

>Eddie Nketiah scored on his Championship debut to earn Leeds United a late but deserved win at home to Brentford.
Still trying to wrap my head around why Arsenal loaned him out. Dude has 2 goals in 2 games now. I mean I'd get it if Arsenal had some quality FW's vying for time but they don't. Ah well, I expect Arsenal to sell him for a packet of crisps and half a Snicker end of the season anyway.

>Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are among Europe's top clubs interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen's Germany forward Kai Havertz, 20, who is valued at £91m. (Sport1 - in German)
Oh clearly not his agent bigging him up, no sir. Even using Transfermarkt, he's only £81m.

Why is it up to the EFL to make sure the finances at Bury/Bolton are up to scratch? If they're not able to pay theirs costs/debts, that brings its own troubles. Why doesn't the EFL just back away and just let it play out on its own?

>Germany forward Kai Havertz
literally who

>Why doesn't the EFL just back away and just let it play out on its own?
And watch both clubs collapse. Yeah, that would look great on them.

What ever happened to Werner

It doesn't matter how convoluted a scenario you come up with. In my opinion as long as there is a single successor club which plays in the same place then it's the same club.

Aren't they collapsing anyway? I'm not paying much attention to the story but the EFL cancel some fixtures because the clubs couldn't pay creditors? It seems like they're hurting the clubs, not helping them.

Some 'shadow striker' who has a few goals and assists. That's basically it. Nowhere near worth £91m. If he's £91m, then Haland is worth that.

aw come on

>Wales manager Ryan Giggs has defended Daniel James and urged referees to protect him after the Manchester United winger was booked for diving.
Fucking Christ. The kid dived. Stop pretending he didn't and 'it's c-c-cause he runs fast, la!'.

Why don't Oldham and Rochdale help Bury out and then they can all merge together at the end of the season?

theguardian.com/football/1999/jan/09/newsstory.sport6

did a 'haha yeah' poster btfo or something?

He did dive but I don't think he dived when he got booked,I also sorta can understand the argument since he's literally built like a primary school kid

>c-c-cause he runs fast
It's more because he's a midget at 5'7.

haha yeah

Mike Dean will be the referee for Tottenham-Newcastle
How did he piss off Pochetino the last time?

It's part of a situation that's been going on for a long time where clubs go bust, don't pay their creditors, and then a new owner takes over a now debt free club and the worst penalty previously was a relegation caused by points deduction.

It had to stop eventually, and Bury and Bolton are the ones who were unlucky that it happened this season.

I could explain but it's easier for me to go haha yeah.

haha yeah.

Pochettino was charged with two breaches of FA Rule E3, alleging that a) his language and/or behaviour on the field of play at the end of the fixture amounted to improper conduct and b) his language and/or behaviour in or around the tunnel area at the end of the fixture amounted to improper conduct.

Furthermore, he received a two-game touchline ban and a £10,000 fine.

I'm sure it's the first time they've had two clubs in the third tier be on the verge of extinction though.

Previous occasions you had sides like Chester City, Darlington and Hereford United drop out of the fourth tier before they went bust.

Is this a popular club? haha, it has a similar name to a website we must irrationally hate haha.

Attached: redditch.png (400x400, 115K)

>club goes bust
>ceases to exist
>'new owner' has to start from scratch
I don't see the problem with this.

It's possible there have been but nearly always in the past some arrangement was made to pay off a token settlement and leave the club in the charge of someone who could at least be trusted to use the gate receipts to pay the players. I guess it's just gotten worse as the money involved even at lower levels becomes too much to cover by local businessmen and buckets being passed around.

It's fucked really, I just can't see what the solution is.

That's how it has to work, or what's the incentive for all the other shit clubs to play by the rules.

>Manchester United and Inter Milan are yet to reach an agreement over a deal for forward Alexis Sanchez.

>The Serie A side were hoping to find out if they had a chance of signing Sanchez, initially on loan, by the middle of this week. But 30-year-old Sanchez's £390,000-a-week salary is proving to be problematic as Inter are only prepared to pay less than half of the amount.

>United view this offer as unacceptable, while Sanchez himself wants to leave. The former Barcelona and Arsenal player is looking to link up again with his friend and former United striker Romelu Lukaku - but he is thought to be loath to accept the kind of significant wage cut that would make the move easier to complete.

As sad it is, there looks to be no solution. The day a PL club goes bankrupt (unlikely) is the moment it'll change, but how many FL clubs will have gone out of existence by then?

Also there's other stuff involved in both situations. The Bury owner has rejected offers that would see the club stay in the league to try to get a better deal and with Bolton there was, or still is, a court case blocking a sale of the club.

I thought Sanchez was on £500k p/w

Not sure what this PL/FL dichotomy is about. FL clubs get less revenue but they also have less expenses.

>wage cut

Just saying the only moment either organisation would take notice is if a top flight side went out of business.

starting bonuses and I think he got a paycut when United failed to get in one of the champions league spots

I can't even think of a scenario where a club could go bust while still in the PL desu. You surely couldn't even amass enough debt while not getting relegated that player sales and the 90 million yearly payment wouldn't cover a deal with creditors.

If the glazers got arrested then refused to sell would United not go bust from their crippling debt

>I can't even think of a scenario where a club could go bust while still in the PL desu.
That's what I mean: it would never happen. Portsmouth's the only one to ever come close.

You know where you belong

yeah haha.

Didn't QPR come close too?

QPR were facing ejection for breaching FFP in the Championship, not the PL: bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44980113

AH, my bad. QPR was a real meme. I had hoped that they'd rape it up. Sadly they did not. They bought some real wew players, didn't they? Imagine a big team, bought out and competently run with financial backing. Imagine Arsenal with the lad they have doing transfers now with a £500m budget. Would he wheel and deal? I suspect he'd have to. What about Spurs? I don't think either owners want to sell out but it's a nice theoretical.

Brighton for dark horses this year? Potter seems to have them playing interesting footie, also all the signings made last summer in an attempt to make Hughton play more interesting football will actually be used properly this season.

Martial is good not the others

Warner gone

how fucking slow is your stream

Not really desu. Been really dull since tea. Warner has got himself into a rhythm and looks dangerous

Will Ashley actually sack Bruce or just let him take them down?

of course he'll let them get relegated
already done it twice

Even after spending some decent money this year?

doesn't matter to ashley as long as the balance sheet has net assets

Warner now actually gone (few mins ago)

They'll be top 10, after Big 6 and Everton/Lestah/Wolves. West Ham and Watford will disappoint, particularly Watford. I could see them getting relegated

I reckon he’ll sack him and appoint another yes man shitter i.e. Martin O’neill

Gracia is apparently very upset with the owners about something from this summer. Can’t remember. Wonder if he’ll end up being sacked and appointed at somewhere like Valencia or Sevilla etc

Wade gone.

Signings perhaps? They only made three.

Probably. Their squad was decent enough though they just needed to hold on to what they had desu

Harvey Price is kill though: bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49436651

Will Welbeck be any better?

paine in pain

Welbeck is fundamentally a decent player. Just not as someone who can be relied on for goals. Or fitness. He’s hard working. Fucking fast and technically decent. I remember in the last Fergie CL tie vs Real he was MOTM in both legs.

It’s not exactly been an important fixture for the last 15 years so the question itself is stupid. Neither have won a league title in that period. They haven’t met in a final or semifinal. The most important match between the two in the last 15 years was probably that CL quarter final in 2009.

Martial, Silva, Aguero and Traoré

Wenger couldn’t run his club properly so whinged to the authorities to shut the window before the start of the season.

Cringe. Wenger isn't part of the Premier League, retard. He just said it made more sense to close it earlier so your players are nicked after three games, before a key game. How retarded are you? I didn't know a shite manager had so much power he could control minds. Wow. How did he fuck up so much if he could do that?

Wenger was a PL manager at the time the window was brought forward.

No mate, he wasn't part of the Premier League rule committee.

where did I say that
I just said he was a manager at the time of the announcement
turns out it doesn't matter because he'd left by the time the ruling came into force

i am well aware why, which is why i LITERALLY said that he complained that he lost his players 3 games into the season. This is a fair point to make. He did not, however, make the premier league change the rule, he did not personally make them do it, the 'blame' is with the premierleague chairmen, not wenger. other managers have brought it up before as well, not just him.

You can't use an American friends login either, you need a VPN that they HAVEN'T blocked and get their login. It is the gayest fucking shit. I hate this pie division of content so you need 20 fucking things. I have Netflix which I barely use to justify its cost, I might cancel it but I use it fill spare time with the odd film or so. So depressing.

private ownership is fundamentally incompatible with football clubs

So if I went to UK on holiday and tried to use my Netflix. Would it not work?

Not really, it's not like it's a vital public service. It's just a business like any other, except they manage to make customers get emotionally invested in it

I mean it should be owned and ran by the fans/members not by some one millionaire

If footy fans could be trusted to run a multi-million pound business then presumably they wouldn't be impoverished footy fans?

that system I mentioned works in many countries

you say that but I'm pretty sure that provincial football clubs go out of business all the time all over the world

Happened over the summer with North Ferriby United. I think King's Lynn Town went bust too.

People in Africa are living on a lot less than what people in the West are getting so who's to decide what a living wage is? I'm sure those cleaning staff are getting by just fine.

>an age of excess and greed, that is a sporting disgrace
Why does Man City paying Aguero hundreds of thousands a week have to do with what some dinner ladies are paid? This isn't an age of excess or greed, it's just players have been able to leverage their talents more.

not necessarily. you can only give penos for "deliberate" handballs, whereas any goal that comes from any attacking player handball is automatically disallowed

Why are millenials from all over the country so obsessed with trying to live in London?

Ah yes, Africa, truly we want to reach their lofty standards

because there opportunity to earn a lot more money. there's also a few industries that basically don't exist outside of london

Big wages, lots of late night parties, easy drugs, more open minded to their degeneracy, a feeling that their parents have kept them locked up, a feeling that they are the centre of the world

because football clubs are important parts of communities and society more generally and need to be protected

because its the efl's fault and they should take responsability and withou these clubs entire towns will cease to exist and bury and boltons achievments will be forever wiped from the annals of history and its not fair on the kids who areonly growing up but ultimately its the EPLs fault for creating a society where clubs must spend money

Work Africa tier jobs, get Africa tier wages.

we're absolutely shite lads
fucking reaching for balls a foot wide of off stump

Why the fuck are you calling it “holiday”?

They aren't living in Africa though, their livingcosts is higher purely via living not in Africa so they argument makes no sense

I don’t get it. Club borrowed £7 m and only has to pay back £1.75 m. That’s £5.25 m that they get to keep. Why is this a problem for commie losers?

You're right; you don't get it, brainlet

shittest gimmick of the summer this lad

You can probably spend less just buying dvd’s at local video/record stores. There are only a few dozen good movies in existence anyways and an ocean of shit that will for your brain. Might as well start a collection of the few gems like Braveheart and Last of the Mohicans.

/epl/ would have died on more than one occasion this season already if i weren't bumping it

Over £5 m in free money, what a travesty lol. Commies are truly subhuman.

and?

you probably think it's fine to let bury and bolton die too
tory behaviour

/epl/ has been dead for years, case in point you bragging about keeping it on life support with cricket shitposts

Are you pretending to be retarded?

They also get paid a lot more than Africans. They’re getting by just fine and I bet if you went to their house they’d have every modern amenity you can think of. Flat screen TV, Air conditioning, Dish washer, smart phone, etc.
And they live in the UK so their healthcare is free, education is free, what exactly are they dying of?
That is the implication. When someone isn’t making a “living wage” they must be dying due to lack of funds right?

Is your commie brain broken? Explain to me what’s so unjust about being expected to pay a fraction of your debt.

For sunday league teams yes

Nice comprehension. The point is that the term is pretty meaningless.

Anyway, of course we don't to aspire to be like them. But that doesn't mean that asking companies to pay a certain level of pay is going to help anybody. Making it illegal to pay belong £20/hr isn't going to make us all rich.

didnt know Liverpool had won 14 champions leagues friend

But giving staff a living wage when your company makes so much money they couldn't possibly spend it is a valid question to ask, especially when these people do contribute to the betterment of the club regardless of if you personally think they're worthless. Its far better to have them working than sitting on the dole

a majority of madrid's european cups are asterisked

There’s no misunderstanding. The club issued bonds totaling £7m to the former owner’s other company. A third company, RCR, bought that debt and is asking to be paid just a fraction of what is owed. My guess is you’re triggered by the fact that RCR stands to make a large profit since they bought the bonds for such a low price? Idk really. I think you retards are just mad whenever you hear about someone potentially making money.

Paolo Bandini from the guardian podcast now thinks he's a woman

Let's talk about football

Maybe one day they'll chalk off a few more for killing those people Heysel

Well Liverpool fans have murdered probably hundreds of people so they really should have been disbanded as a terrorist organization 30 years ago.

You're making a lot of assumptions. I don't get what angers you about people wanting a basic livng wage with basic western conveniences for working. They aren't looking to earn millions and the clubs can easily afford it. Also almost no homes in the UK have ACs

>living wage
You still assume this has some sort of meaning. I was speaking to a older man the other day who grew up sleeping three to a bed. Clearly, he was able to stay alive. What people require to 'live' changes from generation to generation as we get richer.

>when your company makes so much money they couldn't possibly spend it
Well, that's nonsense.

>contribute to the betterment of the club
That's what they get their wages for.

>if you personally think they're worthless
I think you're worthless, not them.

>Its far better to have them working than sitting on the dole
Who says they'll be on the dole? If you have cleaning staff at the club, they might be ladies with a husband who has a better job. Some other jobs could be done by youngsters who are living at home (or only renting a room instead of a whole apartment or paying a mortgage) and might move on to a better job after their experience at the club. This is another difficulty in working out what somebody needs to supposedly live.

Britghton, back when they were in the 5th tier and got to Anfielfd for the FA Cup.

Fun fact - around 30% of staff working for Liverpool in areas like retail and waitressing also do the exact same job at Everton.

So they're actually getting two paydays each month.

You're advocating people living in bed of three and living like africans in your posts, have a sneaky feeling i'm arguing with bamford

>So they're actually getting two paydays each month.
For working two jobs

only cos you hooked up with a brighton bloke after

tesdt

so they are part timers?
why would they deserve two living wages

The jobs are inherenly part time, nobody in either club would be getting 40 hours a week in those roles

2 x 20hrs @ £7.80/hr is less than 1 x 37,5hrs @ £9/hr

>You're advocating people living in bed of three and living like africans in your posts, have a sneaky feeling i'm arguing with bamford
Are you fucking retarded, mate?

Why would they deserve any living wage from a part time job?

If anything, part timers should be paid more per hour, since they have the same expenses but can only work less hours

Or they have multiple part time jobs?

then why choose 2 part time jobs

im going to tell my boss next week im cutting down to 3 hours a day and expect to be paid more per hour

Unemployment is at record levels and you want people whoreding all the jobs to themselves?

>choose
literally what world do you live in

Why call it a “living wage” when it’s not about life or death but about being able to afford a few additional luxuries on top of the ones you can already afford?

save us jof!

People should be paid whatever wage they’re willing to work for. If it truly wasn’t a “living wage” they literally would be unable to work for that wage. They would be forced to look for a different job that pays them at least enough to survive on.

the one where apprenticeships exist

Is there actually an England cricket match going on right now? That would be mad.

struggling to see the logic in this post

It's the living wage, rather than the just about surviving wage.

how is an unpaid apprenticeship equivalent to working?

It's illegal not to pay apprentices lad

Football is dead. It's a global game in a national world. Rugby is now the sport of the people.

They’d need to win some league titles to do that.

>/epl/ is one person

The current owner (and the previous one) make their money through convoluted schemes involving the transfer of debts and flogging off company assets. Normally no one gives a fuck but it happens to involve a football club this time so it's a big deal. Why he won't sell the club is anyone's guess, but clearly he expects to make more money by not doing so.

who (if anyone) can stop liverpool this season?

Big clubs (Sunderland etc), big characters (Joey Barton etc), big drama (whatever is going on at Bury and Bolton). It's got it all.

>A goal against Arsenal will make Firmino the first Brazilian to score 50 goals in Premier League history
Strange stat. For one I assumed he was on more than 49 already, and for two I assumed there'd be a Brazilian on more than that.

Combined XIs are just awful in general, I've literally never seen a worthwhile one. Then every once in a while you'll see one made up of just one teams' players for a cheap laugh.

Speaking of Barton, what's going on with him decking Stendel? Did the police just give up on that.

firmino, salah and mane could plausibly (likely) all be top 20 all time goalscorers for liverpool by the end of this season
seems bizarre to me

Coutinho's second on 41. Third, massive leap again and dual nationality (/Italy), is Juninho for Middlesbrough.

Definitely seems like the culture of Liverpool FC's changed a ton in recent years.

Christ, I can't think of many others mind.

Brazilians are frauds

they don't like it up em

>Juninho for Middlesbrough
...who only had 30.

you'd think willian would have scored a bunch of goals, seems like he's been in the league for yonks

He's tied 4th with Gabriel Jesus (28).

So has True Geordie just retired then?

The real test of that will be if he doesn't make a video by Monday re: Newcastle vs. Spurs.

thoughts on the Rock becoming a director at Fulham?

I really hate The Rock. I hate that people compare him to Schwarzenegger. I hate that no one recognises that he’s a franchise parasite that makes calculated decisions to muscle in on the movie series established by better actors. Every movie that he’s starred in has been trash, especially his original IPs. Schwarzenegger made The Terminator, The Running Man, Total Recall, Predator.

Didn't like how he made a joke about being related to Boris then apologised when people tweeted him abuse. Shouldn't ever apologise to these sorts.

I liked walking tall

I liked that thing he used to do with his eyebrow, does he do that in any movies?

it was a thing in be cool
where he played a closeted bodyguard who wanted to make it as an actor and they eyebrow lift was his "thing" to show off how good an actor he was

probably his best role i reckon

He did an advanced version in Jumanji

>Unlike his Real compatriot Jonathan Woodgate, Owen made little effort to learn the language and one cameo is especially telling. Someone who knew him well revealed that Owen used to regularly drive from his Madrid hotel to the airport in order to buy English newspapers, never realising that, had he bothered to venture a few yards into the city, he could have bought the Daily Mail et al from numerous downtown kiosks. Such a lack of imagination left him far from suited to the expat life and a return to England the following summer came as no surprise.
