Rly wanna watch the barca v inter match tonite but annoyingly on same nite as arsenal play .

Each team would have lost about 50k from setanta going bust, money they would have probably been expecting. They'll gain about 15k each out of the 1m.

Actually no, as the money is not split evenly between the teams from the TV money. Only the blue square premier teams got any where near £50k, the north and south leagues got a lot less. This one off payment will help them until a new TV deal is struck - it's not money that has to been lent in lieu of a TV deal, it's money they would not have had anyway.

Jesus, people really are not grateful for charity these days. Grumpy fuckers.

lower league football is in dire need of investment, there are clubs going bust or just surviving left right and centre. a token payment of £1m from the premier league isn't enough to get anywhere solving all the problems. the problem is all the glory hunting fans don't care about lower league football and think the premiership is the be all and end all.

I love it. I always watch my town team, Fleetwood and the standard of football is a hell of a lot better than people think.

No it's not, but that is not the job of the premier league, and I think you will find that a lot of those clubs are thankful for the "token payment". It's the job of the FA to ensure money flows down the leagues to encourage development and survival of the game at all levels. If that £1million helps clubs survive until they get a new TV deal what is the problem with it?

edit:// Also I loved watching blue square on sultanta, would be great if it was back on TV. Maybe the beeb should get in there?

I do the accounts for a non league conference side and believe me, £50k is a hell of a lot of money for those clubs

Fucking non-league glory hunting bandwagon hopper!

 

[Ch3tan]

Fucking LOL! Now a penalty!

Did you see it Wenger? Did you?

 

[leviathane]

[Marc]

Fucking non-league glory hunting bandwagon hopper!

I am a United fan but I have to completely agree there, most fans don't get a rats arse about the smaller clubs, it is a fucking tragedy. Personally I go watch Stockport when I can or when money is short I go watch Droylsden FC who are 2 miles away from me and currently top of the Blue Square North league! Conference here we come!

I support my local team oxford utd. Always get a season ticket. Paying off this season it seems. We're actually winning games bring on the football league.

 

[Ormorof]

[cHodAX]

That was a shocking result.

It wont happen again, with the squad we have, we cant fail to get promoted to the conference

 

[soze]

Feel sorry for the keeper his confidence must be shot and not alot he has done wrong.

I would love to buy a pass that goes wheres its meant too

 

[Marc]

lol@arsenal

 

[leviathane]

So far passing has been very sloppy an need to cut out the stupid one touch flick ons which just arent working. We just need to calm down an hold the ball stop giving it away.

 

[leviathane]

It rly is quite frustrating being an arsenal fan

 

[soze]

I was warning people early on that because Song Denilson and Diaby start on fire does not mean much when the biggest problem always was consistency i got slated for saying we still needed a midfielder before the Manc U game.

 

[Marc]

Bender with a jammy goal

 

[leviathane]

Well one goal thats a start. Hopefully we can work on this.

 

[Aoami]

[CorNokZ]

Inter - Barca game is shit so far.. Really boring
