The Footie Thread

I can see his point. The winner gets 90 million is it? (It was , prob more now) the next season.. they get either premier League status for a bit or they get parachute payments for 3 years

So how much is that worth to a club over 4 years?

Loser of the play offs has to compete in the league and hope for another chance

Loser of champ league final 9/10 will be playing champs League again the following year

From a purely financial position it's huge

such a depressing way of looking at it from a money perspective

Champions League the pinnacle of club football such a massive massive game

And lets be honest, look at the last 10 winners of each and see whos doing the best financially

 

[Orikoru]

Spurs are signing Perisic apparently, on a free. I wasn't sure at first given his age, but apparently he plays left wing back nowadays and is good there. The Croatian Ashley Young? Ha. Anyway Conte doesn't rate Reguilon so he'll be off, but he rates Sessegnon for the future, bringing in Perisic as the more experienced option, who should also be good going forward.

Lol very true. On a side note I really really want Forest in the premier League

I guess to most Forest fans, the game is the boggest they have witnessed for 30 years, so you can see his point.

That’s what I said to him, he’s coming at it from a bit of a blinkered view.
It’s a massive pay day for the winner but no one will care come next Saturday ?

cracking game in the national league play offs between Wrexham and Grimsby! 4-4 with 5 mins to go

one for the long throw afficionados that game

Thing is, it isn't even worth that much in terms of nett value to the club. The cost of trying to stay in the division swallows up the extra income, and as far as I know, Forest have been making heavy losses for a few seasons anyway. It's quite feasible that promotion could make their financial position worse than it already is.

Not good news as it looks like Thiago may not make it ?

Seems that loads have fans also are stuck outside the stadium and seems the organisation to get into the stadium is shocking

And looks like they have delayed the kick off now

Kick off 815 now to let fans get in

Hope the policing has improved from when we there for a final in 95, especially if you lose!

Reports of fans trying to get into the stadium with no tickets,not sure if that’s causing the problem?‍

 

[Billysboots]

I ask this not to be antagonistic but out of genuine curiosity. Why, at a neutral ground in a major final, are Liverpool fans and players given the lift of YNWA being played over the public address system? At Anfield I get it, but why here?

My uncle has said that they have herded the Liverpool fans into small tight queues and closing gates to force them through small gates and some being moved through the Madrid end
