You would rather win this than the premier league??? That's a hot take.
Yes i would. We just won 4 PL on the bouce losing one this year doesn't really hit hard. This CWC a unique once in every 4 years opportunity to massively increase revenue, marketing and global domination. The media like to play it down but they are clearly worried what damage it's going to do their beloved red tops long term.
 
To be fair, I'd rather have the summer off and be champions like Liverpool, rather than us finishing third and playing some modern day inter-toto cup during the summer with a lot of low level teams in it.

The worst part is Liverpool players will be nicely rested for the new season and our players are still being flogged.
Your pissing against the wind with that view.
As I said earlier all the usual suspects are now clamouring to lobby FIFA to be a part of it, their reason, because they have large fan bases, nothing to do with meritocracy.

Kind of see where your coming from on this , the diehards would always say Prem league, but you are right there is so much worldwide exposure to be had here that is worth millions in itself, and also hopefully worldwide exposure might begin to chip away at the red tops in the uk and expose their out of date thinking and reporting .
 
This narrative that no European football is good for utd is really picking up steam.
It looks to me as though that cesspit of a club is experiencing a major identity crisis.

I wish they would make their minds up, which is it?

One of the biggest clubs in world football that is still able to attract players because of their status and pulling power.

Or

One of the lesser ambitious teams in England that will be hoping that clubs like Brentford and Nottingham Forest don't get a better foothold than them in the premier league.


I find it beyond pathetic that the media continue to jump through hoops for that excuse of a football club.

MCFC have just had their worst season since winning four consecutive premier league titles and we finished third.

This so called "big" club needs to take time out in the domestic kids pool to enable it to gather some momentum and gain a bit of confidence.

How the fucking mighty have fallen.

And I will conclude my rant with this. I have noticed that since MCFC have been sweeping up all the silverware on offer the rags have become very friendly with the dippers. Probably something to do with safety in numbers and all that.

Well here's the best part, they've (Liverpool) been your (rags) nemesis for years and guess what; they can smell blood now and they can see your weakness and they will be more than happy to see you walk alone.

Clubs make more money and they spend more money, the football industry is so wasteful it seems like the more they get the more they waste.

IMHO players should be resting when they can and another 100 million to any club will just be swallowed up by players wages and transfer fees being raised accordingly.

I agree but it also give the new players a chance to gel there could be some benefit in that as long as they don't get injured!

Couldn't agree more, but once you sign the contract you do as your told.
 
This is a great opportunity for us as a club, it's a comp we should aspire to qualify for every time.

Players will need to be rested, and we will be able to do that over the course of the season.

Yep, all about money. And the problem is that this goes even further to destabilizing the leagues. It's less of a problem that the Champions League because it's only every four years (for now), but there could be a season where we get 100 million for this tournament and another 100 million for the CL, meaning that before a ball's been kicked, or a shirt sold, we've got a 200 million advantage over teams like Brighton. More money for the top of the pyramid with none of it being shared more widely. In theory, it's at least spreading some of the money around the world, but these huge sums are going to be even more impactful in smaller leagues, further entrenching the best teams at the top.

I’ve been saying this for a few years now.

FC Midtjylland Is a prime example of this. No one had heard of them, up until a few years ago; now they’re regulars in European competitions.
