Third Party VAR.

Don’t let the refs VAR themselves.

I solved it guys

This might have been what you meant, but not sure - it doesn't even need to be a fully separate third party. Just have VAR-dedicated refs separate from the group of on-field refs rather than having them switch back and forth every week.

Only Wolverhampton were against VAR.

Just have a war room in London. "Hello London, this is Nighthawk. Do we have a good goal?"

Yeah I mean look at the video when the Luis Diaz incident happened. The VAR official is trying to tell them that they are screwing up and he is actively being ignored

Guess we will have this loophole again

They were never going to get the super majority with so many terms already failing PSR no matter how dumb this is. It’s the same as the Mark Stone rule. They don’t want to close it because they are afraid they’ll need it later. It’s dumb. It’s not staying open because it’s right or fair

oh yeah that is absolutely true. I somewhat expect clubs to do this over the summer now (including villa) and it really stinks.

Good see ya. Get gambling out of the game.

I think that’s beyond wishful thinking. It’s amazing the gambling sponsors I’m noticing more and more around the game. The Overlap on YouTube is sponsored by I believe Skybet. They even pick results during the show during the season. Also, one of Talksport’s Simon Jordan shows is sponsored by Williams Hill. You’ve also got all the sponsors in the game. I know you probably mean players more, but gambling is all over sport these days.

Fix VAR. It has SOME uses, but it shouldn't be relied on to make a decision instead of the on field ref. Rugby has it pretty much figured out (although the new tackle height issue is a problem) so look to rugby as an influence, at least.

One really nice part of how they do it in rugby is that the ref actually explains the decision - not just for the players but moreover for the audience. I don't know how well it would work in football with the players already so prone to arguing and crowding, but from a viewer perspective I definitely appreciate it.

Chelsea will not need to sell players this month to comply with Premier League PSR

Sky Sports understands Chelsea will need to make sales to keep in line with PSR for the 2024/2025 season, and the cut off for that is next summer, but they are under no pressure to sell this month.

Of course, how silly of us. They sold a hotel to themselves so everything is fine now.

 

[Chimaera]

marginally better than just printing their own money.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

They're cheats.

Liverpool chief wants Prem matches in New York

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has said he is "determined" to see a Premier League match played in New York City.

Supporters might not want it, but a lot of clubs will want that.

The NHL does European games I don't see the problem. But it should be the Community Shield, not a PL game.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Supporters might not want it, but a lot of clubs will want that.

A lot is riding on the lawsuit against US Soccer that's headed to the Supreme Court.

 

[bleedblue1223]

If NFL can play in Europe, EPL can play a game in the States. It makes too much sense for money of existing fan base and the potential of expecting the market.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Preseason games abroad is enough.

 

[bluesfan94]

I don't want the overseas games because you know it's going to be a big team "on the road" against a small team and essentially get those big teams an extra home match.

At the same time, I'd go.

 

[Rob]

Man City lawsuit against the EPL will guarantee they are the most hated team in league history next season. Should be fun to watch.

 

[JPBolts]

I can't say this is a surprise. More actually, I feel that this sort of story/quote/interview has been inevitable.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Where’s that guy’s wealth from? If he thinks unleashing petro states will make the game more merit based than financial, then he’s a moron.
