Finances have never and will never play a part in players getting injured.
It's more annoyance than anything else. Injuries are part of football and we just have to accept them.
And, we're off.....2016/17

Agreed. Whenever players go away on international duty you hope yours don't get hurt, but have to suck it up if they do. It does however highlight those sides that don't have much strength in depth in their squads

Of course, but you don't have another Lallana on the bench and that's where finances do play their part.

Sounds like Sanchez wants a move to Chelsea.
I don't see how he'd improve the starting 11 tbh.
Be a decent squad player tho.

It's just the way Llalana plays .
He runs so much at a hundred miles an hour most Liverpool fans know it was a matter of time before he got injured.
Just happened at the wrong time for us.
But you are right the squad is not strong enough to replace him and Henderson.

He'd take Pedro's place maybe?

A massive misquote by the papers. He never said this. I can see him leaving, but not to Chelsea.

The fixture changes for City are beginning to piss me off big style now. Another sodding game ( palace ) has had its time changed.

It's all part of the "product" Now, it only benefits the know all armchair fans.
It'll only get worse aswell. 5:30pm games on New Years Eve will be the norm.

Hasn't it always been that way since the PL started and we began having Sunday kick offs.

It's definitely got worse year on year. Friday night football, 11:30 kick offs, kick offs being changed to suit everyone else bar the match going fans without a care about travel, especially night games.
We played Chelsea earlier this season, The last train from Euston left at 8:07pm, that's not acceptable. The same happened to city when they played West Ham.
The Xmas period was always the local ish sides played each other, now that's out the window.
They moan about FA Cup attendances and the magic Of The FA Cup yet the early rounds are spread over 4days. Pathetic.

Mate I have a train ticket that arrives half way through the second half now! We are now booked on a train out of London at 6.40am. Makes for a long day.
Worse fixture change I saw though is that West Ham vs Spurs is a now a Friday night match. Just shows money over sense, as that game is tasty enough without adding in the Friday night factor

But therein lies the problem of taking the tv money. If you want the big cheques coming in you have to accept the demands they place on you.

Correct, but the match going fans don't have a choice.
The greedy football clubs/business's/franchise/investment groups will take anything.
Look at the Liverpool v City game on NYE. The last public transport to Manchester was 7pm, The game finished 20minutes after that. The game was brought forward without any thought Of The travelling fans who rely on public transport.
The football clubs should be responsible for making sure there's adequate transport on these occasions imo.

Yes they do, they don't have to go to matches and they don't have to buy season tickets.
Problem is though there will always be someone else to fill their place and if not then clubs will be encouraged to do something about it.
Match day revenue is almost irrelevant in a top football clubs revenue stream due to tv money. All clubs could sell tickets for significantly less and it wouldn't hit them to hard if they were sensible. Greed on all parts is the problem. From players up through to the board.

It doesn't matter who the match going fans are, The point remains the same. The match going fans are punished.
Do you honestly think sky and co are bothered about whether stadiums are full or not?
I'd guess that there's only 7 clubs that sell out week in week out. We see empty seats every single week, has anything changed?

Oddly, sky do like the away fans to turn up, as they provide the atmosphere.
But then hold the game at a time that is massively inconvenient.

Apparently the only way to avoid it is don't buy a ticket Tashy
I accept changes to ko times etc because going the match has been a massive part of my life but it still annoys the hell out of me when its blatantly obvious those in charge of decision making haven't took into consideration of travelling arrangements for fans.
