Martin Samuel appreciation

Great follow up article about the hateful 8, he's coming out with so much credit here. He knows his stuff and isn't afraid to spell out what other refuse to see.
 
A quick Samuel's double.
This is better than the first one lol
All true, all well researched.
 
Brilliant from Samuel. Calls it as it is. I wish other journos would start to realise what he's called all along.

However, it is still concerning that the clubs are actively looking to pressure the PL's investigation and join with the European cartel to force UEFA to appeal the CAS decision. Part of me thinks this still has a long way to go.
 
This latest article is really nailing his colours to the mast. He is the only journalist brave enough to call out the ‘elite’ clubs and say what is really going on. It will be interesting to see how these clubs react to this article. My guess is they will ignore it and hope the rest of the journalist sheep keep toeing the line. The ‘Hateful 8’ will be aware that trying to win this argument is akin to that naked Emperor trying to convince the world of what splendid clothes he has whilst all the onlookers laugh at his button dick.
Martin Samuel, we salute you.

More interesting is why he'd have the confidence to do so.

wowzer, what a stunning article from a brilliant journalist. Some lovely comments in there:

"The irony of Mourinho, who benefited hugely from owner investment during his first spell at Chelsea under Roman Abramovich, advocating financial regulation now he is with frugal Tottenham is almost too ripe for comment.

Chelsea did everything that Manchester City have subsequently, and then worked to change the rules from the inside so that their path to the top could not be travelled again."

"As for making competition difficult, Klopp went on to espouse the German vision of club ownership, a system so competitive it has resulted in Bayern Munich winning the Bundesliga title for the last eight seasons — when no club in the history of German football stretching back to 1903 had previously won more than three on the spin. "

Would love to hear Bingo's and Maureens thoughts after reading that.

What can they say.
Klopp spouted and then claimed he didnt know enough about it. With the greatest respect dont say anything then lol
Meanwhile Jose cant say he hasn't benefitted from exactly the same investment.

Samuel's is a very clever journalist. He knows exactly what he is writing and what affect it will have on various parties.

Another great article by Martin, I wonder why Wolves have now deserted the hateful eight.

The whole things barmy.
Good luck to Wolves or anyone else looking at breaking into the elite. All the better.
We cant say anything else really.
Wolves know they ain't far away from breaking in and havent done it without investment.

Remember they nearly went bust a few years ago.
Nobody wants to see that although there are a few clubs at the minute that I wish bad fortune lol
 
Love the article.
Who other than City fans get this though.
Who other than City fans read it.
The average young fella nowadays doesn’t read the news let alone sports news.
They live off social media sound bites.

Finding a way of getting this message out in sound bite social media form and to the fan bases of the other two thirds of the league outside the top six. There’s the key.

Don’t think you can look to the rest of Europe because the competition is worse everywhere else. Start with the PL and find a way to get the majority of teams seeing what is best for their own futures.
 
It's another brilliant article and shows the dangerous plans of the traditional elite. They want their place cemented for the rest of time and it's about time people stopped towing the party line.
 
That is brilliant writing. Wolves are realising they were wrong. Burnley and Leicester are full of rags and dippers.
