    We complain Because clubs earn obscene amounts of money that they share among themselves....If clubs never earned that sort of money then TV companies like sky would be much more affordable to its customer and It is because these companies buy up the rights for sport that you and me have to pay silly money for sky and the like. How do these football clubs justify charging fans the money they do and then pay the wages that is so obscene even to the lesser players that proves Football is out of control. I know nothing will ever change as from the top to the bottom they are all on the gravy train.....When i was a lad in my youth you could watch say the FA cup final on the BBC one year and ITV the next year and there was plenty of sport on TV....Now you have to purchase sky as they have bought most of the popular tv rights and if you dont have sky sports then they will charge you by PBV......I despise the way sport has gone and the greed of the people in it.....it makes me sick...

    That's the world we now live in, Dai.
    Many of today's sports followers only know the Sky way, having been brought up on it.
    I have never taken out a subscription with them.
    It's not going to change because you and I don't like it.

    But Kaplan says he is not for sale and we do not need to sell players. So who is the one with the final world. The old adage is " He who pays the piper calls the tune"

    Hi TLF - hopefully he will be able to pass on his knowledge & experiences.

    He (his name & reputation) may also help recruit some players

    Ranocchia could end up at Watford if Silva joins as Manager.

    I actually think mawson is the better player and gives you a few goals. Spurs and Levy will want him for 2m and offer us their 6th choice for about 11m. I agree tell them to **** right off.

    To be honest, in our "situation", I would take Alfie ahead of John Stones every day of the week

    £10m plus Ben Davies and deal.

    Spurs are chasing the title next season, can't see them wanting him. He's not good enough for that level, yet at least. If he goes there he'll ruin his career by sitting on the bench.
