Re: Football Season 2012/2013
It was Ivan time tonight. They know the payroll is messed but Arsenes ethos is to have minimum superstars along with packed upcomers or something. I dont know to be honest. i just hope the overhaul will happen. we could easily sign players that dont cost 30mil but it all depends whether Arsene finally wakes up and gets rid of players robbing the club contributing to nothing.
do i hold faith. well look we've got Denilson out on loan at Sao Paulo. a few mill will do for him yet the deal is still not done! instead he has 1 more year left on his contract and hes talking of the loan being extended.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
Incredibly sad news from Spain where Manolo Preciado dies from heart attack just 24 hours after being appointed as Villarreal's new boss.

It's less about 'Arsene waking up' and more about the time it takes to turn it around. Ivan said in the meeting last night that they are addressing the wage structure but it will take a few years and they are not going to renew contracts for players that do not play. He also said we have to await improvement in commercial deals and FFP before we can compete with the best teams again, which is true, they had banked on the new stadium but then Chelsea and City came along and blew that advantage out of the water.
Quite interesting is the suggestion Fabregas refused to play to get the move to Barcelona to happen.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
That death in Spain was a massive shock, literally just seen the news. Such a tragic loss.
People in football seem to be having heart attacks more frequently now or is it me?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
I heard a strong rumour that ESPN and AL Jazeera TV are joining forces to beat Sky for all the football rights.
There will be some battle if this does happen, as if l am not wrong the last time there was a bidding war, Al Jazeera said that they would bid big time for a jewel in the crown of Premier League football.

And that rumour you hear is not going to happen as Sky will get the majority of rights with ESPN getting rights to 38 matchs a season.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
ESPN want more prem games. if they are joining forces then they must have an international thing brewing as al jazeera has nothing but a news channel in the UK.
Sky will try push for more games. not sure whats going to happen to 3pm kick offs and packages available. the demand is high. the money is just going up. growth or awareness of the league. PR etc. etc. ?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
Aljazeera said the last time these games came up that they wanted to challenge for football -which popular in the far east.
BUT, this will benefit armchair football fans, Sky are far to expensive and it will be great if Sky get a bruising.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
If Aljazeera and ESPN get it, how does it benefit us?
Depends what they charge, and they may well charge a premium for a football channel.
Personally, I don't think Sky's charge is that bad. I prefer to pay nothing, but suspect that will never happen.
