All Americans care about is "the market" and ways to make money.
When Europe's major countries set up a football league, it was for fun, pride and prestige. To find out which city had the best football team.
When the US set up a football league, it was all about "the market" and "profits". It...
The fight isn't over. UEFA apparently bribed the English clubs to pull out, have given us a 36 team CL with a terrible format designed to make money and now want to sell a private equity stake in the CL for billions to stop the Super League from happening.
These are charlatans as well as the...
I want an experimental line-up tonight. No point playing our strongest side in a dead rubber, blood some of the young lads in and throw them in the deep end tonight and let's see what they've got.
Another thing worth noting is it'll be suicide for the players if they agree to this.
Players have a lot of power in the game right now, as do agents, and owners don't like this one bit.
So if the owners take charge of the league, they can set a wage cap across the board and stagnate player...
Find it cute that people think this 12 team Super League will be restricted to just 7 cities. How can Americans maximise revenues with 2 teams in a small market like Manchester or 3 teams in London?
It'll expand over the next generation and whilst London will always have a team, the days of...
Got no sympathy for some lower league clubs fans denouncing this. Same lower league clubs fans who constantly are against measures to make English football more sustainable with a "spend what you want" attitude. There's only one way where that attitude leads.
It should never be about money, it...
Heard Omar Beckles is moving to a club down South next season as he wants to return closer to home. His red card yesterday would back up that his head has gone anyway.
Be an even bigger upheaval at the club than first anticipated it seems.
With the business end of the season approaching, it's time to see who'll stay and who'll go for next season.
For Crewe:
GOALKEEPERS:
William Jaaskelainen: UNDER CONTRACT (2022) - Had some time out of the side after a string of poor performances over Christmas but will more than likely be our...
Col was 5th choice striker behind Hulse, Ashton, Jones and Jack and was struggling with fitness. Andy White was a completely different type of player so we exchanged both players on loan initially. White was poor in his brief loan spell with us in League One.
For some reason though, we gave him...
Pavol Suhaj, Cameron Park and Chris Atkinson comfortably the top 3 for me given how their careers panned out afterwards.
Special mention to other shite like Mesca, Kevin O'Connor, Danny Haynes, Andy White and Darren Moss as well.
Keeping situation is a mess. Neither of these keepers are League One standard and it's the #1 priority next season to sign a competent keeper at this level. However, both are under contract next season. One has to be bombed out in my opinion but there's no way we'll do that and that's why we'll...
Cant see us selling Kirk to a club in the same division. We've very rarely done that with our best players. We did it with Colclough but Wigan were about to go 2 divisions higher than us.
Kirk deserves a chance in the Championship anyway. And I think he'll only leave us for that level.
You also have to factor in the fact we've had Pickering at this club since he was a child. 10-15 years development and it seems he's going for a pittance compared to other players of his ilk, some of whom didn't even come from their club's respective academies. Didn't expect the money Luton got...
The fact Artell got a lot of the current core of the squad to sign long term contracts is excellent and a vast improvement on what that useless prick we had before was doing. But if the cost of extending contracts of our players long term is to set a low release clause to sell them then I'm...
