Premier League 2021-2022 part III

[LOGiK]

You have to remember the EPL isn't a gate receipts driven league. Yes, West Hams match day revenue will be bigger than say Brighton or Wolves, but a far bigger chunk of change comes from the TV money, and all 20 teams get £100m +

Even the prize money only goes up by ~£2m per position.

Plus they're not in the Champions League. They'll get a bit of money for their run in the Europa League, but it's not UCL money.

Finally they don't have the national and international fanbase of the teams above them. Merchandise sales and marketing deals will be dwarfed by those above.

So, they've got enough money that they don't need to sell Rice and Bowen....yet. They can even afford to offer them really good money....but they're unlikely to sign because they know the big boys are sniffing round them.

All of my football and budget / income / expenditures knowledge comes from playing FIFA games... Honestly it's a good tutorial for showing how little a piece of pie traditional ticket sales are.

add: I just thought of football manager. (if that is also good... and if anyone plays that)

Yeah, FM is really good for learning relative footie finance. I never realised how poor Serie A was until I managed Fiorentina there. Winning the Scudetto was one thing, trying to get past the first knockout round in the Champions League was another

You know what's about to happen with Ty in the audience and Arsenal is the topic.

That man is 52!

Drury is a huge upgrade on Arlo White, whom he is replacing.

WTF?

Ronaldo and Kane but no Son – trying to understand the PFA Player of the Year shortlist

The overwhelming impression looking at the shortlist is that the power of a player’s profile weighs more heavily that it should

People still ask me how Son can be considered underrated, but he wasn't on the six-man shortlist for either PFA Players Player of the Year or PFA Fans Player of the Year. Stupidest shit ever.

There is no reason Ronnie should be ahead of Sonny, but any of those others would have been a very difficult cut

However, there's no doubt he's the best Asian player in the league.

I think referring to Sonny as the best Asian player in the league is a bit insulting to Sonny at this point. Everyone knows Sonny is the best Asian player in the world. He is also one of the best players in the league. No other qualifiers or identifiers needed.

It's certainly a pressure adder to him, but he's no doubt the best in the continent. It's a shame his talent is being wasted because his national team isn't as well-rounded as he is.

You'd take Mane over Son in the PL this season???

He clearly outperformed Kane too.

I take Mane over Ronnie. Son over both

Definitely a top 5 player in the Premier League. .

 

[Savant]

Not an unfair statement. Honestly the top 7-10 players in the PL are pretty interchangeable

It’s voted on by the players so it’s heavily dependent on reputation and on how respected players are among their peers as opposed to a more objective evaluation of their skill.

If an actually objective evaluation came in, Sonny would be the lone EPL goal leader, since Salah contributed some of his goal counts with PK goals, while Sonny had none.

That’s not really objective objective would be did the ball go in the net by a direct contribution from the player (shot, header, deflection, etc)? If so then it’s their goal.

 

[John Price]

NBC will have new Premier League voice next season

go after Ian Darke please

 

[SSF]

No Darke please, thanks .

Drury will be a better voice than White

 

[HoseEmDown]

Give me Efan Ekoku and it doesn't matter who he works with. Think he's the most critical color guy out there, doesn't show any favoritism towards any teams and calls out players all the time.

Not familiar with Drury so can't comment. Darke was good when with McMannamin but once put with Twellman turned to crap.
