The world is absolutely ******.
Things need to change. Just absolute insanity all of this.

Re: Mbappe
Just feels like it will get more insane now the middle east are establishing their league. Pretty sure sky will start broadcasting their games then we're really in trouble as it becomes mainstream and no one will say anything about the horrible things that go on there and the backward laws they have.

Re: Mbappe
The only way they are going to get a tv deal is if they sign as many players as possible on huge contracts with worldwide fan bases
Its still going to s**t, but it will be watched by those who follow the big players rather than teams

We have literal medical professionals that keep people alive being vilified off our detestable government, then a bloke that ultimately kicks a sack of wind about (admittedly very good at it)potentially earning their yearly wage in one hour.
This isn’t sustainable. The money system is absolutely f****d

Re: Mbappe
This is how the Saudis got control of world golf-paid the world’s top golfers insane amounts of money to join their LIV tour and then took over the PGA tour.
Re: Mbappe
Even though all those players have gone to Liv, it’s crap to watch. Doesn’t have the prestige and history as the PGA and European tour.kentonclaret wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 6:47 pmThis is how the Saudis got control of world golf-paid the world’s top golfers insane amounts of money to join their LIV tour and then took over the PGA tour.

Re: Mbappe
Not sure how much this affects the PL. The top galactico-type players have rarely played in England anyway, at least not whilst at their peak.
Re: Mbappe
No, but if the so-called galacticos decide to bugger off to Saudi for £600 million a year, which is their choice of course, where do you think the next echelon of players will be heading for say £200 million per year?claret2018 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 7:11 pmNot sure how much this affects the PL.

Re: Mbappe
An excellent comparison!
Prestige and history are our main and probably only ‘hopes’ that all top players don’t just take the money and run! Now that Liv and the PGA tour have ‘combined’……… watch this space!! Thankfully, I don’t see a similar situation arising in football just yet, because, as someone else mentioned previously, nobody/very few people in Saudi give a **** about football with the main bulk of the games fan base being in European and South American leagues. Hence why Mbappe will inevitably end up at Real Madrid for a lot less than £600 million per year, because playing for Madrid means something more than just money.

Weghorst has to be worth a £50m punt then as Plan B, your royal highness King Salman.

Re: Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid and is set to sign a five-year deal with a £85.5million signing-on fee upon his arrival. That's despite taking a pay cut and accepting a lower wage. During negotiations, he reportedly demanded a minimum of £42.8m-a-season - around £827,000-a-week.
The France captain, 25, has told PSG he intends to leave the club with his contract expiring in June.

Re: Mbappe
Think this says it all. He’s a bad apple who likes to have a say in signings if you believe half of what you read. I personally believe City, for instance, would be worse for having him. Great player without a doubt but he is by all accounts a serious trouble maker.KRBFC wrote: ↑Sat Jul 22, 2023 11:30 amHe’s been surrounded by the best his entire career at PSG, spent eye watering sums and been through about 30 managers, still can’t do anything in Europe.
He’s a fine player, one of the best but everything that is wrong with todays game is Mbappe. Out of control ego, think he’s bigger than any club, power hungry, disruptive mard arse.

Re: Mbappe
What a very sane post. I agree with every word of it. The world is in a bad place just now with a total obsession with fame, money, greed and an over inflated sense of the importance of celebrity.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 5:13 pmThings like this just totally put me off football and question if I should bother with it anymore, if honest.

I’m not sure that there has been a time that the rich have got richer than now. Footballers on half a million a week (or even 50k) is obscene. Good people are working harder and longer for a fraction per year of what these guys get in a day.
It can’t be right surely? Can it?

So true, the game is dying. Earning that much for playing football is insane when there are people alive who don't have access to basic human rights.CoolClaret wrote: ↑Mon Jul 24, 2023 5:13 pmThings like this just totally put me off football and question if I should bother with it anymore, if honest.
