>Championship clubs may still pursue a breakaway from the English Football League if their deep-seated grievances over the handling of a new TV deal are not immediately addressed.
>Former Liverpool and Premier League chief executive Rick Parry was named chairman designate by the EFL on Thursday, with his appointment due to be ratified at a meeting of member clubs on 26 September. The appointment of 64-year-old will be followed by a new chief executive to replace Shaun Harvey, who left his role at the end of last season.
>After the recent turbulence of trying to manage the catastrophic financial situations at Bury and Bolton, EFL executive chair Debbie Jevans had hoped the installation of a new senior executive team would lead to a resetting of the relationship between the organisation and its biggest clubs. However, it is understood Jevans has been told that is not the case. Instead, BBC Sport has been told by several sources that a Premier League-style breakaway is possible, such is the strength of feeling over the £595m, five-year TV deal with Sky announced in November.
>Whether such a strategy is realistic, given the Premier League has never shown any interest in forming a second tier, is debatable. However, the mere fact the threat exists underlines the strength of feeling against the EFL.

I have no idea how Parry could get such a high profile job, I swear it's a complete insular circlejerk at that level of business and competence does not matter at all
Theres faster ways of telling us that you're a nonce
Charles Ross
>I have no idea how Parry could get such a high profile job, I swear it's a complete insular circlejerk at that level of business and competence does not matter at all It's LITERALLY all about who you know. nothing else matters in any business.
Carter Moore
It's like Hollywood. You just fail upwards.
Evan Hill
intelligence and competence clearly matters in small businesses or else they go bust
John Butler
But he's still their best player
Came off the bench on Sunday and won them the game
None of these are real rivalries, I wish they'd stop trying to push them

Would call that 'level' with the strikers advantage in the olden days
Southampton will be in big trouble this season, had a good fixture list and Brighton got a red and they had a game against Sheffield who also got a red also a draw against Man U top kek
Hudson Lee
Absolutely agree there should be no names, totally unnecessary.
Carter Sullivan
15 years ago you had players like Hierro, Okocha, Shearer, Duggary, Djorkaeff, Tugay, Di Canio, Melchiott, Hasselbaink, Mendietta, Friedel, Jaaskeleinen playing for the shite clubs in the league
Now you've got teams playing Dominic Solanke as their £20M marquee signing Centre forward

comfy thread tbqhwyl. no insta-thots and more importantly, no black woman posting by the portautist.
Fuck me lads I think I've got depression. I just stopped doing stuff about a month ago. Like I'll still see my mates and have a laugh, but I just do nothing at work and do nothing when I get home most of the time. Sit on the same websites updating threads till it starts hurting my head because it's so boring.

Brody Morris
How far away is your work mate? I found cycling to work (about 50 minute bike ride) and the early morning exercise really helps
Makes you feel worse if you don't bike in though because you feel guilty
Nolan Brooks
VAR? more like VARce amirite
Charles Wright
why does var even exist?
Michael Sanchez
VAR is a fucking mess, from the Napoli pen the other day to that, they are terrified to overrule the referees
Caleb Davis
The absolute STATE of VAR.
Josiah Gutierrez
Agreed, it feels like they've been told not to overrule unless it's really, really bad.
Nolan Taylor
At this point, VAR is basically only being used for off side checks. Fucking shambles.
Brayden Campbell
Referees are so fucking protected by the fa it's almost funny if it wasnt so shit
If I was that shit at my job i would get sued
Grayson Ortiz
but what rises to the level of really really bad? that was obviously a pen, he gets nowhere near the ball, and it's still not called a pen.
I try not to pretend to understand all the nuances of soccer but in American football and baseball and even hockey when the ref is fucking wrong he's just wrong and the VAR gets the call right.
Charles Mitchell
>That was a quick recovery
Kek, always love sarcastic comments towards players flopping
Chase Myers
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Brayden Stewart
Like this user says, Refs over here are like a protected species.
Jeremiah Smith
That isn't depression you spastic
James Rivera
>ref should have given pen but didn't >var denies pen because it's not a clear and obvious error >var rules out goal for player being 1mm offside
It's easy to sit at home or in a studio and say that it's a pen. You can sit there and do that all night for every decision. End of the day, it's not a stonewall pen so it comes down to each individuals perception of the event. The referee is the man in charge and he didn't think there was enough in it, if the var man thought there was enough in it his opinion can't be allowed to take over the referee's.
>get rid of your depression by cycling along a dual carriageway
shan't be doing that
Caleb Gonzalez
they'll take a 4-3 win over a 2-0.... makes for good meme games with plenty of goals desu
Tyler Walker
Have a little bit of the carlsberg pilsner, baby
At least until stella start doing the glue stuff instead of the fish checkers instead
Joseph Stewart
Might do a late stonewall poo
Lucas Sanders
just got back. what have i missed? don't spare any details

no wonder they're so shit
Kayden Sullivan
Must be why no big club has come in for Eddie Meme then.
Elijah Bell
I rate Ake and their keeper
Jaxon Parker
Check the cycle routes, I was surprised but found a canal that took me all the way into the city centre, theres national cycle routes fucking everywhere
Landon Mitchell
Too bad he was only ever fit for half a season at most
Ian Wood
Don't know, I checked the championship table but I cant see either of these teams so I'm a bit confused
Jason Hughes
Ake is the only good defender he's signed for them in their PL tenure.
Tyler Bennett
Armstrong gifted bournemouth an equaliser in the last game, surprised he's on at all
