what you think of this....it will be good for making the premier league bigger....

discuss...

[AdamW]

Hahahahahahaha will it fuck....its a way for the top 4 clubs making more money...

[Raz]

Hahahahahahaha will it fuck....its a way for the top 4 clubs making more money...
thats why ALL clubs have agreed?

[AdamW]

Im sure a ruck of asian kids support Derby.....yeh sure....

Yeh it will see smaller clubs make money......but the turnover for Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea will go through the roof.....bad idea....

[Robb]

Those 10 extra games would be played at venues around the world, with cities bidding for the right to stage them.

all about money tbh.

[Raz]

i know it is about money....was just saying all clubs will get money...not just the Top 4

[AdamW]

Top 4 will get triple the money.....its a gay idea

[David]

Idea has obviously been taken from NFL, when NY played the Dolphins in London.

[Raz]

Top 4 will get triple the money.....its a gay idea
i agree totally buddy.....just brought up the subject :y:

its a gay idea...but would make the premier league get more viewers bacause it will be world wide viewing....

a colleague said that to me when i told him about the premier league thinking about doing it wil football

EDIT - i mean Premeir league SOCCER, not FOOTBALL

[David]

It's soccer. NFL is football.

[Raz]

sorry...my bad...will edit now

well every single club in the premiership is in debt, even chelsea, which means they owe money to someone, it all comes back to us. ticket prices go up for matches and as things stand ticket prices will not come down ever. so i think if clubs can get money from abroad then they should, it helps us in the long run as they can pay off their debts and therefore ticket prices could drop. both arsenal and man u have big fan bases abroad and they had a very good turnover this year arsenal have even said they will dop their ticket prices for the lower price brackets.

what an essay!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hanuman]

The Day This Happens Is Hte Day I Officialy Hate Football!

[Hanuman]

most clubs aint in debt ifthey were they simply wouldnt be buying players... its all complicated finances that dont actually exist, ie thats like you saying you got a mortgage you in debt.... you still go out and spend money dont you?

pathetic as if players want to go abroad for random games flying isnt good, just another way of trying to get more money from anyfkn means they can

[Hanuman]

football is football

unless your american then its soccer! but they are just backwards

[atomicadam]

well said they don't even use metric units, they're stuck in their ways with imperial

[Hanuman]

american footballs crap tbh, its only big over there due to the time and life style they have they can play it on a big level, in the uk we barely get a chance to have a good old kick about nevermind waste hours padding up and calling plays

[Raz]

i dont mind american football....think its a good sport....

keep on subject...

[Hanuman]

no footballing terms pure business terms ridiculous

[Raz]

no footballing terms pure business terms ridiculous
pure business as in to make the premier league bigger?

[Hanuman]

the prem is big enough? it earns enough money? why do we need to move abroad to play games, if someone wants to watch then they come and watch it here. as the things states all the countries ALREADY watch the prem on tv so playing abroad wont do out else as they can already watch it... its just down to money try make money from teh games and sell on more merchandise i hope it doesnt go ahead personally... players will also ask for more wages

[jaybiss]

how long ago was it when they said players where playing too many games?

[E1999G]

This is a bad idea, for example your team is about to get relegated on the last day of the season and the game is being played in china at 2 in the morning english time how pissed off would you be that you would have to miss it. Same as for like last day of the season if you team wins they win the league or get into europe but the game is in south america its a pointless idea. I dont think they will be able to fill the staduims cos say derby play wigan in the nou camp which is 100,000 seats, they cant fill there own staduims let alone be able to fill a staduim in an other country. It will only benifit the "Big Four" cos people no about them in america and asisa

[Barry123]

football is now shit these days anyway.

money has literally killed the game. Its no more about passion for football but for the £££'s

[Robb]

each club will make 5million from there one game abroad.

now tell me its not all about money.

[Graeme]

will never happen tbh

its like the story of celtic and rangers joining the prem league!

[Mugello]

i think its not a great idea... all money
