      I would happily pay $1 per game.  It sure beats paying $5 or $10 per month for multiple different streaming services and still having to find pirate streams online for the odd game that is played in the League Cup or FA Cup matches.  I probably spend $30 a month just to have access to 90% of the LFC matches, and most of that gets divided up among cable broadcasters with such a small amount actually making it back to the actual source of my patronage.

      Yeah £1 a game sounds great

      I doubt Sky would have got the rights.
      This was always all about the broadcasts rights

      Would have been their own channel definitely. Especially with most people using internet etc for TV nowadays.

      Not only a right wing nut job but thick as well, there was no Labour Party until 1900.

      ;D, oh my God you are actually serious, you really think a Conservative mayor would probably have been a Labour one if only given the choice!! and you call me thick, wow!!

      BTW in what way am I a right wing nutjob or is anyone who isn't a devout Socialist a right win nutjob in your fevered imagination?


      You really do illustrate perfectly my point of socialists being idiots and hateful.

      How would docking points from the six teams be fair, when the managers, players, fans knew nothing of it and all came out against it! No surprise that Everton are the ones pushing for it, lost any last remnants of respect I had for them. Fine the owners, give the money to grass roots football!

      Talk is they want to give the 6 20 points deduction from the start of next season.
      Tell you what that would make an exciting league season haha specially if 1 or 2 have a bad start to the season they will be shitting them selfs.

      What I hated the most was the merit part. I understand that all the owners are after money but cannot go against their own manager, players and us the fans.

      The point being there was no one representing working class people when LFC was set up.

      All your views are extreme right wing Neo conservative views on monetary policy for a starter, you don’t believe in a social collective you are what would be described a child of Thatcher, as long as you are doing ok that’s fine.

      Some of us even if we are doing well want others to participate as well.

      Very much doubt if they could do that and even if they did the 6 would counter sue and take it to court, they would be suspended points  until a long drawn out process was seen through

      It's more bluster and ultimately I don't see anything happening apart from maybe a token suspended sentence in case it's done again - which is very unlikely to happen




      You really do illustrate perfectly my point of socialists being idiots and hateful.

      Wow that's only having a go at the foundations of the club, the city and the vast majority of the fan bases way of thinking

      Nice one  :-\

      Why on earth, our players and manager should be penalised if they did not know.

      Can't see that happening and justifiably so. The buck starts/ends with the owners. Fine them millions if not billions. Footballers / managers and fans can't be held accountable when knowing nothing about the SL  The more they fine the owners bigger chance they have to sell.  ;D

      Why should clubs ve deducted points for financial messes that have nothing to do with players managers or fans? They should not but are because we have to somehow try and control and regulate.

      Letting the owners off cant be allowed but sadly the punishment hurts the innocent. And I think we will do well to avoid some sanction

      Depends on what the greed


      The owners have only ever taken a wage out of the club and that’s


      Money earned is money spent - so yes greed for wanting more money but was that more money so that the club could continue to challenge amongst the imbalance of oil money to look to get players like Haaland etc

      Utter utter sh*te they taken a wage ffs what about their investment increasing . Money grabing care for nothing but $$$$ . As yet again they have confirmed remember price hikes, furloghing

      Would like to see a gradual transition to something closer to the German league, however this would take coordinated action from the rule- makers at the top and would likely need to be Europe-wide. Germany also seems to have quite a robust culture of respect for supporters with clubs seen more as associations of members and less as corporate entities.

      You could still have major investment from the private sector but there would have to be supporter oversight and sensible rules about finance which are properly enforced.

      Far from familiar with the German model, but is it all that good when Bayern basically has a monopoly in the league?

      They're not going to dock any points.

      Premier League and UEFA will be mightily relieved that this is over so there's no way they go and punish the teams involved.

      Im not advocating spend more money on transfers. I would love to see a wage, transfer cap sick of football being all about F***ing money. Fans not being able to afford to go to games corprate everywher football is about money that why we have c**t owners like we do.

      The business entity is punished, and the employees suffer. Simple really. The important question that need answering is - How could the PL allow this to threaten its very existence and do nothing...?

      The rules aren’t meant to erase history. You will always have clubs that tend to be more dominant than the rest as success accumulates over time.

      The point would be to introduce a basic level of supporter control that guarantees private interests can only ever do so much damage.

      An investment increase only bear fruit for them if they sell the club.

      Continue to own the club for a long significant period. An investment only increases if it’s a successful one. So are they being critisized because the club is increasing in value because it’s successful on and off the field  :f_doh:
