So then...Scudamoes comments about the premier league..

[Ducado]

To be honest he is just proving what many on here have been saying for years

“There’s lots of fans around the world who wish Manchester United were winning it again, but you have to balance that off against, generally, we’re in the business of putting on a competition and competition means people can compete.”

Pretty dangerous line of thought.. No generally about it Richard, it first and foremost a competition. Don't let the global appeal of one team poison the well.

Great vindication to be found for some though. As Ducado says above, it's only what plenty of people (not just blues) have been saying for years.

And that Ladies and Gentleman is why we get what we get with Sky, they know the global appeal of United and don't want them tuning out.

I can get my head round the global branding nonsense, but people need to make their mind up as to what the so called agenda is, because there are 18 other clubs in the league after us and United, 1 which is a regular challenger, (and winner), of the league and 2 which are there or there abouts, like this season. Thing is though people are adamant it is only us who the digs, snipes and decisions go against, as if we are the only challengers for the league, (despite only winning it once), which then totally dismisses the other clubs challenging United, or are they also counted as part of the global image, and therefore the agenda is solely against us? So is it a case of 'what we get with Sky', or a case of 'what everyone else other than united get from Sky'? If it's the former, I must have imagined the clean sweep of domestic trophies this last 3 years, and if it's the latter, well I expect Neville won't ever commentate on a game again after his digs towards them on Tuesday, that the Evening News will be shut down and the tabloids all banned from attending anything United ever again. Oh, and that Wee Davey will suspiciously die in a Parisian tunnel.

its more of protect them rather go against us in particular over arsenal and co. the media (all forms) and the prem though are fully aware that we are the main threat overall. besides that what do you think the plastics want to tune in to? arsenal are blah blah blah or city are rich, mercenary, oil blah blah blah. they spout exactly whatever the masses want to hear. now we are too good for even refs like the other night to harm they have to come up with something else, even ffp, an invention thought up entirely to hold us back, hasn't really done the job it was meant to do.i'd like to see psg and monocot get this sort of attention.
its quite funny really because its because of the rags global image our owners chose us, we have piggy backed their space and used it brilliantly to heighten our brand, they can no longer mention the scum without a back up piece on us.

the ticking has well and truly tocked.

Im not sure 2 page spreads on PSG or Monaco would sell British newspapers to British people as well we just dont care but Man City is a story they can sell. Platini has moaned about everyone's spending like ours, psg and Moanco's as have also the other normal rent a gobs its just as a City fan you dont A) Read about it or B) give a shit. Shit refs being shit is not exactly a breAKING NEWS STORY EITHER AND ALSO THE VERY SAME MEEEJA YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT ALL HAVE BERATED THE SHOCKING SHIT REF DECISIONS, accidently pressed caps lock cant be bothered rewriting it all

“Our primary and only responsibility is putting on a competition and competition means people can compete.”

Pretty dangerous line of thought.. No generally about it Richard, it first and foremost a competition. Don't let the global appeal of one team poison the well.

What he should have said.

What is he proving? He has said the decline could be damaging for the PL. That means the decline has happened, i.e. nobody has stopped it. If he was proving what many on here have said for years, wouldn't the decline have been stopped by the powers that be before it could start? You know, before the entire footballing world laughed and looked on with great glee?

 

[moomba]

He's not saying anything that we don't already know. Only question is how much that influences the decisions being made.

I think its unrealistic to think its not a factor, even at the subconscious level.

Thats a shocker of a statement by Scudamore.

There is no balancing to do. The wishes of Man United fans around the world should have fuck all to do with a sport that has integrity.

 

[Falastur]

Scudamore just can't see the bigger picture. This isn't about the Premier League, this is about English football in general. Just think about how much publicity League One will get if the scum keep their word on Moyes' 6-year contract.

Come on mate.
Yr1 2014 - 7th Premier League
Yr2 2015 - 18th Premier League (down on gd (: )
Yr3 2016 - 21st Championship (after player exodus and having to rely on over-hyped academy)
Yr4 2017- 14th League one
Yr5 2018 - 20th League one
Yr6 2019 - 6th League two (lose on penalties to Gillingham in play-off final)
Every league will get publicity, this will be better for smaller clubs than Rangers2

They will reduce the relegated teams to 2 that year, and make the decision the moment we all think United went down. ;-)
