    To be specific. What exactly is bothering you in current system? The fact that players are "bought" or "for how much they are bought"?

    That it's limitless. There are no boundaries, there are no rules. Jorge Mendes can pull all his players from one club, or basically take control of an entire club by fielding half the team (Wolves for example, also large influence at AS Monaco).
    Leipzig and Salzburg can lob pass alley oop players to each other. Where is the fairness in that?

    I like the transfer system but there should be some kind of math that applies and allows to create a system of fixed value for players, or ome kind of window of expediture.

    Let's take Formula 1 for example: You build to the same specs so everybody has the "same car" when it comes to a lot of factors, but all cars are still different.

    Funny thing Formula 1 has been utterly trashed with bad policies. Hence i stopped watching it. Which is to bad, because i was absolutely crazy about F1 as a child. Watched Häkkinen every sunday. Those were the days.

    Formular 1 was wrecked due to a lack of competition, and lack of money which opened the door to a "pay for play" policy. Probably more than half the drivers in the field has bought itself into the sport through sponsorships or straight up money.

    Similar to how people with absolutely zero experience or expertise in football bought themselves into the sport and are now contributing to its demise

    HBO does a yearly NFL show called Hard Knocks which basically follows a team through training camp. The reason it’s wildly popular is because they have complete access. They record everything that’s said and have cameras in every room. It fascinating to watch players going into the coaches office and talking about shit and getting cut. The only way these docs work is if they have that kind of access otherwise it would be so boring.

    They (amazon prime) did a All or Nothing on the LA Rams and it was great.

    I remember QPR allowing the same several years ago(The Four Year Plan) and it was a fascinating watch.

    I watched the one about the All Blacks who are known to be very secretive about their training and tactics and it wasn’t that much fun. Also doesn’t help that New Zealanders and especially rugby players are 99% down to earth understated lads who don’t have much flash in their personality and that doesn’t make for good tv unless you have a compelling story which these docs don’t. The Rams one for example was shot during a losing season and it only got interesting when the firings and hiring started to happen.

    Fascinating? I guess that's a way you could describe that.

    Some things don't need outsiders witnessing..

    See lots of these sort of things on prime, but we prefer the nature and science themed productions

    I’ll give the NFL one a go.

    I started watching the Ramos one and didn’t enjoy it, I don’t know how to describe it but it felt sort of ‘forced’. The Kroos one was great I thought, and the La Liga version, Six Dreams, was a great watch.

    And people wonder why everyone hates Liverpool. What a ********ing clown.

    One of the comments under a similar tweet from a different account said "And Atletico weren't affected because they were preparing in Mars".
