In 20 years I can see people I'm my Essex motherland supporting Spurs/Woolwich and West Ham if this goes ahead, West Ham will be like a higher profile Orient ie full of neutrals who can't get to their preffered option

So a pre-season friendly against Canelo then?
Assume my £1.99/month subscription will be going up then
Exactly, the PL and UEFA happy to roll out the red carpet for these foreign owners and football washers when it lined their own pockets.
Seems quite hollow now they are banging on about tradition and the fans.
Agree, the new shiny toy etc etc....If this thing does go ahead next season, this might be the only season where fans can actually make a point by not going to the games dues to international covid restrictions ie: the day trippers may not be able to attend in their masses......
Most will bow down, and have the attitude “it is what it is”.......
We currently scrape for top 4 and call that an achievement....
Maybe in 10 years time when we finally scrape into the super league top 5 and some fans believe we should have won it because Real Madrid were rebuilding and Liverpool sacked their manager, other fans will say “this is great, you obviously weren’t around in the 2020’s when we were shite and had players like Harry Kane up front” lol
They set themselves up for this, fan ownership and free to air football would have meant less money but a much better and fairer game without oil cheats like City and Chelsea and all this bollocks.
Multi millionaires of Sky Sports stole the game from fans and now the billionaires are stealing the game from the millionaires.
This is a brilliant rant and absolutely bang on.
I think we have trod a similar line for a while in terms of slowly but surely everything we loved about the game has been eroded away, and by association Tottenham too
You said it yesterday this was the nail in the coffin we all expected to put some of us over. I’ve been through it all for this team, now there’s no real need to, we’ve become one of “them” now
Who are these 18 losers who voted yes?
Agree.Loads i know threatening not to renew,most will i suspect.
As discussed here before,i love non league football.Its a great day out and the type of footballing day we all fell in love with as kids.I think many would be surprised how enjoyable it is.
I am Eighteenacus.
Because I hate everything modern football has become and I hope this brings about a reset.
And because I thought it would be amusing.
I'm Eighteenacus!
Its an open vote you can see who voted for what if you click on it.
Don't think its productive to start insulting people even though I disagree with them, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
If/when that comes to pass, you only need to look at the NBA/NHL. One massive league full of the best players making the most money. Players in less watched national/regional leagues where the best get poached in their late teens and early 20s with a golden ticket. Otherwise the two never interact.
Sad that football will go this way, but I think we all knew. Once ENIC, FSG, the Glazers, and their ilk bought in...this was how it would always go. Business decisions made by the businessmen of football.
Well, the first league was actually created by the rich team owners so that their workers could give them their money back on the weekend...
