maybe not, but you're not even in the tool box

 

OK let's go with the adequate funding bit. Is that the rich clubs throwing a few crumbs to the lower leagues so they can do what they want or finding a way to help the lower leagues pay their own way?

 

west brom are dominating

 

It's the PL providing the funding that clubs believe they are missing out on due to a lack of replays. Which to be honest in most cases is a relatively small amount.

Sit down at a table, put a price on replays - how much revenue do clubs expect to lose because of replays going, give or take, and come up with a reasonable compensation package. Of course most clubs don't get a replay each season, so they'll be even better off than they would have been, but I'm sure they'll keep quiet and happily accept the money.

 

goaaaaal lester come onnnnnnnnn

 

You would know about being a tool.

 

That's just looking at the money side, and oddly enough there are many small clubs coming out and saying the new deal is wrong and don't want to just take the money.

 

The main argument in this thread from the start has been 'looking at the money side'.

 

If he winds you up that much put him on ignore.

It’s beyond tedious.

 

Syd is beyond tedious. But only ****ers put people on ignore. As shown by the ones who do.

 

Vardy's missed a penalty, **** him.

 

As I've said Syd it is possibly one replay per season maximum that they have a grunge about .
Offer them 6 extra games in Europe at £ 4 million per game and they would trample over anybody to attain it .
Urs just profit related big business mentality that rules English football .

 

I wasn't the one that brought up money, merely proposed a solution if that was the issue. I don't really care what the big 6 do and would be happy for them to leave the PL (although the TV rights would get hammered as a result) and I'm certainly not trying to defend them in this, but rather look for a better solution than keeping replays where sides are encouraged to play for a draw on the oft chance they can get some extra cash.

 

How haven't WBA scored..

 

Cause it's better for us...

 

Andy Cannon scores for Wrexham.

 

2-0 Leicester now. We've had four points off them this season, be sad to see them go really.

 

2-1

 

When calculating the value / lost revenue of replays, they'd presumably have to factor in games where no money is made and financial loss results. Small clubs travelling the length and breadth of the country mid week to play to a crowd in the v low thousands, if that. I suspect those scenarios are actually the most common overall.
