Madridistas All Over Copa And Euros Collide While Colombians Dominate - The Other Teams Thread

What about Gyökeres?

 

Never at any point understood the hype around this player. Samu fed De Ligt his lunch today.

Good. Let's see how good MLS teams are against the best teams in the world.

 

the criteria is money, nothing new here

 

Then people ridicule the notion that they did everything in their power to grant Argentina the '22 WC.

 

Fifa lose their court case against Diarra. Going to be fascinating to see what the fallout is of this.

On the surface it would suggest that players now have the right to just resign from their job and leave their employer (club) mid contract, but there is of course going to be many lawyers involved and a lot of re-thinking of how contracts can be enforced better.

 

Looks like every club will be forced to change their buyout system? Or forced to include a buyout clause like the Spanish system has.

 

About time football recognised that players are employees and not chattels.

 

Not sure tbh, I think it makes buyouts clauses more redundant as the player has to right to just leave when they want. I suspect at the top end of the game it becomes about incentivising players to not want to leave, and they could do that by loading up contracts with some wages as annual financial incentives, similar to current signing on fees, and weigh them heavier the further into it you go. Further down the football pyramid the harder that is to do though.

 

I've seen a journalist arguing that today, it's not a side i had thought about.

Ultimately I think it's a positive outcome, its just the transition from current model to future model that could see some clubs (and players) get in a mess

 

Still can't believe it. Trophy was handed to Spain.

 

That arguably (also) depends on the national jurisdictions, which in continental Europe are generally employee friendly.

 

And then came Aston Villa

Damn, that is rather impressive tbh.

 

its illegal in France to have a buyout clause

 

Well I guess that means players can just force their way out, and teams can cancel contracts similar to any other job.

Effectively this kills payments between clubs, don't think agents will be too happy about this.

 

Historic television crisis in France

The channel that broadcasts Ligue 1, DAZN, has less than 100,000 subscribers and was expecting more than a million. The contract could be terminated in two years

On September 13, in an attempt to attract more customers, the channel announced that, for one week, the amount would be reduced to 19.99 euros per month, a decision that has not caused a stir among the French, fed up with the inflation of the price of watching football and the rise of IPTV, which amounts to 2 million annual consumers in the Hexagon.

DAZN's contract with the LFP includes several clauses, such as the possibility of unilaterally terminating it by the French league if the British platform does not reach 1.5 million subscribers in its second year. If the news that it barely reaches 100,000 subscribers, unable to find a foreign investor to encourage its development, is confirmed, the collapse will be inevitable.

But DAZN is not the only party to the crisis currently affecting French football. The channel that broadcasts the remaining matches, BeIN Sports, agreed in August with the LFP to broadcast one match per matchday for 100 million euros . The Qataris have not yet paid the first sum in September and are not prepared to pay a single euro until the French league, as they stipulate, agrees to promote sponsorship of the Middle Eastern country's brand and meets a series of conditions.
