I knew there was a reason I was avoiding watching matches on TNT you’ve just reminded me of what it was.
Sounds a lot like Ali McCoist these days
Most co-commentators these days are bloody awful. Their expert views more often than not show far too much bias and is complete drivel.
Yeah....they all sound alike.
In TNT’s defence the Fletcher McCoist pairing is the best commentary TEAM on TV, IMO. Too bad everything else they do Studio and Pitchside is terrible.

The TV deals are arranged and agreed long before the previous ones expire so if it was to collapse the clubs would have a decent amount of notice and time to sort out their finances.Uefa fears impact of new Premier League spending rules
Uefa is seriously concerned that the Premier League's new financial rules could further impact competitive balance.
Looks like UEFA is not happy with the premier leagues spending plans. Now seeing as every league in UEFA has different spending plans. Am not sure where the happy medium is. Under the prem leagues present plans Brentford and Fulham are now able to compete with Juventus and AC Milan. And there in lies the problem. The biggest teams in UEFA don’t want that. They want to protect the status Quo. They don’t want Brentford and Fulham competing.
There was one thing I read that did prick my ears.
In France, where the picture is complicated by the collapse of the league's TV deal, the emphasis is on audited financial viability. Clubs must demonstrate solvency and budget control.
If the Prem leagues TV deals collapse, some clubs could be in a mess.
Or when the Spanish Royal family have allowed Real Madrid to benefit from spurious land deals meaning funds didn't have to change hands causing any debts. But was allowed as "Real" are the Royal families team of sorts
is what they did any different to the large amount of English clubs who have sold training grounds/hotels/stadiums to themselves?Or when the Spanish Royal family have allowed Real Madrid to benefit from spurious land deals meaning funds didn't have to change hands causing any debts. But was allowed as "Real" are the Royal families team of sorts
I never said it makes it right.
I would argue it's different in that clubs selling off land to to themselves is very dodgy business and shouldn't be allowed. But Madrid being gifted land on multiple occasions to then sell off is worse, at least the English clubs owned the land in the first place.
And still owned it after selling it off
Not in all cases with RM land grabs and sales, that for me is why they're worse. Common land taken from the country as a "gift! in some cases sold on to themselves and others to developers to make them money and keep their profit and sustainability within UEFA regs.And still owned it after selling it off
They can if their club isn’t the one doing it
