I didn't realise Tommy Johnson, Marco Gabbiadini, Paul Kitson, Craig Short, Mark Pembridge amongst others were on that Derby team. Especially 10+ years after they spent a million+ on them
By making purchase of your marketing company's shares the de facto qualification for inclusion in D1. I get that nobody would watch a league with 8 southern california tems, 4 florida teams, 3 NY teams, and a rotating cast of 4-6 flyover "market" teams. Of course, nobody is really watching the league with it's current "market" makeup so maybe just evens
They've both just been given $123 million and they're each spending around $16 million on salaries. Even Burnley are spending 3 times as much and they are not known for their profligacy.
Is there a link to these salaries? As far as I am aware the PFA doesn't publish them and you have to wait for the published accounts of each club come out.
Since we’re being pedantic, with the previous chairman’s unfortunate passing, there’s a new chairman of the board. The Cincinnati Bengals’ chairperson will be Mike Brown’s kids when he passes. Their ideas about how to run the team are not 100% like their father’s.
Right. The owner has always been King Power. Nothing much has changed. The new training ground is being built. Plans to expand the stadium are moving along
Your favourite mantra was that the top six are a lock in because of their money. When that doesnot fit the current state you switch to relegation probability.
Where did I say that? M is someone that likes to pretend things don't exist or happen. I remind ... Pardon, I read the information incorrectly ... "most expensive buy in 6 years and first of 1m pounds+ since Grenet in 2001" Changes the point only slightly though ... Oh, the EPL changed to a 7 match season? Missed that news. Here's last season's FINAL TABLE for reference: Leicester was 18pts off relegation ... and 46pts off a fairy tale repeat. Wanna guess who the top 6 were in 17-18? 16-17? Yes, after Leicester's ONE AND DONE championship fairy tale the next three seasons reverted right back to THE BIG 6. Leicester finished 12th, 9th, and 9th. Their best finish since winning the EPL has been 5pts off EUROPA qualification. You were saying?
Oh, are they going to a televisions distributed model so the orange pinnies and red pinnies can claim their 70% of their market like they do on "dress like an empty seat" night
A crack in the shamateurism of college sports... hopefully this could lead down the road to the ability of pro and semi-pro teams to pay players who are at college: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/sports/college-athletes-paid-california.html Interestingly, the bill passed unanimously, a rarity in California these days.
Don't hold your breath: The NCAA's statement on California's new college-athlete name, image and likeness law: pic.twitter.com/uJ3xPAncS5— Steve Berkowitz (@ByBerkowitz) September 30, 2019 The assbackwards and archaic NCAA still refuses to get out ahead of this..........shocking I know. The NCAA really should watch the 6 part series "The Story of Rugby." They could learn a thing or two from the missteps and mistakes of an old, archaic organization that stubbornly holds onto outdated traditions and refuses to evolve with the changing landscape.
I don't understand how this would even work. I don't see how they could participate in NCAA sports and just decide NCAA rules don't apply to them.
It’s not that NCAA rules don’t apply to them, it’s that NCAA rules in California are now illegal. Frankly I’m glad California finally forced their hand or they’d spent another twenty years paying lip service to allowing student athletes basic freedoms.
