Super Tommy Tuchel

It's quite along time since we saw England play entertaining and purposeful football.

Probably our best days after 1970 and the Ramsey years, were under Terry Venables and Bobby Robson ... Not forgetting that short spell when Joe Mercer was in charge.
 
Not sure yet if it's the players who don't want to play for him or the usual England abomination........they are knackered.

Why is it that our players are completely fucked at the end of virtually every season?

I've watched Spain Portugal France and Germany all play to an energetic and high standard in the last couple of weeks, whilst our lot couldn't even muster a sprint against Andorra and a tackle against Senegal.
It's always the same and there is no excuse for it imo.
Most of the players in top European national teams are heavily involved in European club competitions and they don't play much less in their domestic leagues. Even the foreign nationals playing in the Prem still look fitter on international duty.
There was a day when it was a huge honour to play for England, but nowadays it's like half of them are just going through the motions.
 
If its because they play too many games why are we having a meaningless friendly when the players should be on holiday?
Why has the "world club cup" been expanded?
Nothing makes any sense in world football
 
They had an analyst from Deloittes on SSNs this morning...all talk of revenue streams, expanding markets and growth in the Premier League for the foreseeable future....


The primary driver of growth across Premier League clubs was commercial revenue. Year-on-year growth of 8% (£165m) meant clubs cumulatively generated more than £2 billion in commercial revenue for the first time. The ‘big six’ clubs' commercial revenues grew by 8%, again contributing around three-quarters of the total.

Clubs outside the ‘big six’ are also continuing to develop commercially led strategies and business models, enabling them to further grow and diversify this revenue stream for reinvestment into their football infrastructure.

Premier League clubs’ commercial revenue is projected to grow further, to £2.3 billion, in 2024/25, driven by a number of new partnerships including significantly increased front-of-shirt sponsorships at various clubs.

Matchday revenue also increased in 2023/24, rising by £43m (5%) to surpass a combined £900m for the first time. In 2024/25, Premier League clubs are expected to have generated matchday revenue of approaching £1 billion. This growth is driven by an increased number of home matches for teams competing in UEFA club competitions, ticket price increases and the promotion-in of clubs with larger stadia than those relegated-out.

Broadcast revenue of Premier League clubs saw a marginal increase year-on-year, rising by 2% to £3.3 billion in 2023/24, the penultimate season of the league’s three-year rights cycle (2022/23: £3.2 billion).



Blah blah blah.

This is modern football - makes sense to the money people.

This silly world club thing merely an extended revenue stream...fuck the fans, fuck the players...wring the golden goose for all its got...

...and thus it will continue until fans globally stop feeding this particular goose, which I don't see for the foreseeable future.

In business, revenue is important but profit is king. Why do they all talk about revenue increases blah blah blah. Surely all that counts is net profit?
 
It's quite obvious, and I've only watched the brief highlights, our defence is way too gay. We need at least one Terry Butcher at the back. I real man's man kinda man, that's what we need, man..

Unless you are Chelsea of course. When the financial director phones up the their DÒF and says, hey we have £4.30 in our account according to our online banking. The DOF replies good, I can go out and get another goalkeeper with our famous acquire now and pay sometime in the future with our version of the PSR double entry book keeping system.
