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.You would rather win this than the premier league??? That's a hot take.
Rags v Leeds...What's the betting come the fixture release on Wednesday they're up first on Sly Sports Friday night at the Swamp against one of the promoted teams?
Your pissing against the wind with that view.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.
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in itself, and also hopefully worldwide exposure might begin to chip away at the red tops in the uk and expose their out of date thinking and reporting .Yes i would.

It looks to me as though that cesspit of a club is experiencing a major identity crisis.This narrative that no European football is good for utd is really picking up steam.
That's a bit harsh on your life partner ;-)Spouse levels of delusion and self-awareness..........

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 amounts of debt that need paying towardsfan bases, nothing to do with meritocracy.

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!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.

Which teams truly have summer off most will be In America playing friendliesClubs 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.

Couldn't agree more, but once you sign the contract you do as your told.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.

Nobody has told Daren Lewis. He was extolling the "Kudos" of joining the rags on Talkshite earlier.You know the Rags time is coming to an end when even the media turn on them.

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.Your pissing against the wind with that view.

Some will. Others will be in Malaysia losing to a team that's never played together before.Which teams truly have summer off most will be In America playing friendlies
