The President.

Makes Trump sound like a genius.
Remember the joker that fronted City for a week or so after the takeover. He made a complete horses ass of himself And was quickly binned. Perez must have been watching and learning and waiting for his chance to become the prize turnip.
 
Hmmm. Baseball has parity? Basketball has parity? I'll grant you football. Hockey's parity is created by an insane playoff system where finishing top during the regular season wins almost no advantage.
since 2000 15 different teams have won a world series....must i go on?
 
this plot is getting me more confused than line of duty....

So UEFA are now speaking to lawyers about going to court to throw the three ESL clubs out of THIS YEARS' Champions League. The French FA head said they hope Chelsea, Real & City will be expelled by Friday.

This will either leave PSG as CL winners by default, or those teams out of this years' CL, but not one of the 'Dirty Dozen' to replace the three who maybe banned. Everyone is consulting lawyers at the moment. You couldn't make this shit up.
Seeing if BT will pay up UEFA dont fulfill the grand finale of the competition they fund, you mean? Its all bullshit. The governing bodies know in reality they have no power to stop clubs doing there own thing. The big argument is not if we are allowed to compete. Its the battle for where the TV deal gets cut up. The clubs involved have proven they alone can generate more than the whole Champions League combined. Its a Power Play on UEFA and nothing more.
 
1. I want us to pull out of this ESL

2. I would want to see the ESL happen without us but the usual suspects still in it.

3. I expect that the ESL will flop because of how scripted and de-incentivised it will be with low risk-and-rewards.

4. The clubs in the ESL will be replaced in popularity and fanbase by clubs from the more attractive and volatile domestic leagues (West Ham, Wolves, Leicester, etc) who will participate in Europe, and in heritage cups.

5. Over time the ESL clubs will be forgotten, left to their own self-serving demise of a world they made themselves.

I hope we get out of this shambles of a trainwreck as soon as possible.
 
american sports has parity...something football in europe doesnt have
I’ve lived in the states 40 years and I can say with confidence American sports are shit.
baseball: 162 boring games, so boring the commentators regularly chat about anything other than the game going on. World Series? What world?
Basketball: 3-4 super teams, based on what friends want to play with each other, with the superstars getting permission to routinely cheat (the Jordan rules)
NFL: 3 hours to play a 60 min game. Research has shown only about 6-8 minutes of actual game time is actually played.
NHL: fighting is illegal yet they allow it because without fights, the NHL would fold faster than you can imagine.
Also, look at the stands during any one of these sports. More people going to/from the concession stand than actually watching the games going on
