The repeated knee injuries are a concern. He’s increasingly becoming a Jota or Konate type who you know is going to have availability issues throughout a season..

It stinks.
Bobby Clark and James McConnell must be worth £70m each based on those ridiculous valuations.Comment

Clubs don’t even need to inflate values to make it work. Swap a £10m player from the ressies for an equivalent, give them a 5 year contracts, both clubs bank the £10m income immediately and account the new player at £2m cost per year. Rinse and repeat.
I couldn’t have more skeptical about a government regulator when it was touted, but it’s clear that the clubs can’t regulate themselves.Last edited by Kenneth; 23-06-24, 04:29 PM.Trey Nyoni: countdown to stardom-2 years1year0.5 yearsComment

I think there absolutely does need to be a regulator for football.
1) As Kenneth says, the clubs can't do it for themselves - clear conflict of interest.
2) With huge amounts of money at stake, there is a clear risk of consumer harm (monopolistic/oligopolistic behaviour, money laundering risks, bad faith contracts (like Chelsea's 8 year deals), unfair fan treatment, the list goes on..
3) Unfortunately it is perfectly clear that the FA and Premier League cannot regulate the game as they are intimidated by its' most affluent members.
4) The current regulators don't understand what it means to conduct due diligence on a business owner because there is no penalty for them in getting it wrong (hate banks as much as you like but the good ones are seriously good at due dil to protect themselves).
5) The most successful clubs are only incentivised to look after themselves ; lower echelons of the game are strangled which damages the sport as a past-time and as a potential career path.
Unfortunately unless a government led regulator is imposed around the rest of Europe (or better yet UEFA is told to crack on or do one by the ECJ) it will diminish the English game in Europe, but frankly I would prefer genuine football to a sports-washed kleptocracy.Last edited by Tatterdemalion; 23-06-24, 06:29 PM.Really?Comment

The owner of the fourth club has just moved his family offices to the Middle East and of course completely unlinked to anything have received massive contracts from both UAE and Saudi companies.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.
