I think its pretty normal practice where first come first served questions are published/released first and the ret are held over till later for publication.
Think it came into being during the covid/footballers wage cuts issue
Whats the news in Spain from supporters ?I read that the Govt has come out against it and wants everyone round the table
TBF I think we are seeing the confluence of elements that ultimately lead to the creation of first Street Football, then Aeroball, and finally InfernoOn a lighter note, I have been enjoying the suggestion that to fully maximise the new league's international appeal, they should allow a few NFL teams to compete and play under American football rules.
Johnson has nothing to lose by sticking his oar in, if it gets called off he can polish his Man of The People credentials, even if his inteference has absolutely nothing to do with why it gets called off. If it doesn't it's a safe bet that no blame is likely to stick and he will get some credit for trying.
Newspaper interviews that can't be released until later tonight.
Yeah, agreed. Suppose I'm interested in where he would end up if he did end up trying to intervene, pass laws etc. He doesn't normally regulate the likes of JP Morgan.
There aren't angry mobs in the streets demanding the heads of board of JP Morgan, lots of people will have never even heard of them. Pitchforks and tar for the Man U Board is being gathered as we speak.
Shit, this is annoying, I swear I remember seeing a book about the commercialisation of football recently that sounded good but I'm fucked if I can remember the name or the author. I think the author had something to do with Orgreave, maybe? I promise my posts are not actually paid content advertising FCUM, but the only name I managed to think of off the top of my head is Red Rebels: The Glazers and the FC Revolution by John-Paul O'Neill (not actually read it but bought it as a present for someone once so I must've thought it sounded decent).
Thank you for that, David Conn was the name I was trying to think of with "something to do with Orgreave" - I was getting Orgreave and Hillsborough mixed up, as 80s SYP stories go I suppose it makes a bit more sense that a football writer would be writing about Hillsborough.
I've not seen anything, but I've not really looked. Traditionally there's a lot of animosity towards Real Madrid due to the connections to Franco. I'll need to check it out.
My hope is that not only will it not happen, but these 12 clubs will have so disgraced themselves that whatever bargaining power they had over future changes will have been weakened. Hard not to see this as a massive tactical blunder. I just can't think that they anticipated this level of opposition. But I also can't think why they wouldn't have anticipated it.
Hubris. Arrogance
Perhaps they were daft enough to believe their own statement that 'fans really, really want to see legendary players in major teams playing exhibition matches week-in and week-out'.
I've been looking for a decent critical political economy analysis of the game for a while. Surely there's something out there?
Soccer vs the State by Gabriel Kuhn is highly recommended (tho I ain’t read it). Tom bowers Broken Dreams is good but more about individual scum bags than an overall picture.
