Have you got a link for the Wycombe "£9m" because my lot Preston North End, when going up by the same route from the same division, certainly didn't get £9m. In The Championship, the solidarity payment is around, iirc, £4.5m per club per season. Regards the card, Whyte v Povetkin is a decent fun fight where both will bring WAR to the ring but a PPV with only 4? fights in total on the card??? Not for me. A shame really.
Mate, I would gladly shine the gold-plated cutlery at the Hearn household every night for a year if it meant that we could just **** Scotland off and play even in League 2 down South.
Of course not, but the reality is that players in that bracket aren't Premier League millionaires capable of just knocking their wages on the head for a time period so as to not force fans to pay to watch them. Plenty of smaller clubs are near totally reliant on fans as they simply do not have any deals with TV coverage. I know of non-league teams who have raised five figure sums just to stay afloat - the fans can't even watch the games regardless. Point being, I get people getting annoyed at ostensibly loaded individuals still expecting to be paid top whack; I just don't think football clubs who get 2,500 fans at a game are the right target, or people earning sixty grand a year as opposed to a week.
That was what was said during the commentary and Barry Fry was on Talksport kicking up a stink about the league not being completed and missing out on the £9m prize money for being promoted. Contact B. Fry at Peterborough and he will tell you the same.
I think the time will come when Rangers and/or Celtic will buy a 'Bury FC' in trouble and move the club to Glasgow. They may find it hard to get out of the Championship at first but through time both would be firmly top 8 clubs in England at worst. There is a precedent set allowing Cardiff and Swansea to play in the Premiership
Good post mate. Spot on. It goes back to my original post that if the Whyte Povetkin fight was a fiver, you'd probably get loads more people buying it. As it stands, no chance for me, and a lot others I expect. A bit of good will can go a long way, I doubt I'll ever fork out for a ppv again.
There was no such thing as a "Welsh League" at the time, this only came into being in 1992. https://www.goal.com/en/news/explai...lish-premier-league/5ch7uidrrtr41a9rcl7ov7ten You also have the "England and Wales Cricket Board". Glamorgan County Cricket Club is Wales' only first-class County team, and Welsh players are eligible to represent England as Wales does not currently have its own Test cricket team or cricket body.
Never knew the Welsh had no league until 1992. Can still see Rangers and Celtic playing in the EPL at some stage unless there is a dramatic reversal of footballing standards up North.
League season so far is a farce. Multiple Covid-19 protocol breaches now from Aberdeen and Celtic players. Now looks like three of their fixtures will be postponed. Total farce because there is only two windows currently for re-scheduled matches. Both should be made to forfeit their fixtures as 3-0 defeats. Also they are scheduled to play each other on the weekend - record 3 point deductions for both. Total shambles of a league.
But we cant expect Whyte to fight for 400k, he is a "big star" I hope Povetkin derails his train but i doubt it will happen, not at his age
Problem with the second line is that Whyte is already popular. More people paid to see him fight a guy like Dereck Chisora who lost nearly all of his big fights than paid to watch Warrington and Frampton fight in their (close to) primes. Popularity in boxing does not always equal talent. Think of it like music. Is it fair that the guy who sells the most records and earns the most money doesn't have the best voice?
