Slim to none as long as it all driven by PGMOL.

Also, sorry to hear about Mickey and Maddison.

It doesn’t sound like it’s being driven by PGMOL. Sounds like they’re under pressure from outside:

PGMOL has been under increasing pressure as a result of VAR errors in recent weeks with a review being conducted by "small group of representatives of UEFA and other confederations" in a bid to improve processes. This comes after PL clubs originally voted against introducing tech used in World Cup and continental competitions in the summer.

The earliest change would reportedly come next season, with PL clubs expected to vote through semi-automatic offside calls.

Yeah it sucks about those two. I think vdv may actually be harder to replace. I mean, they have no one who can replace Maddison but there is still talent and creativity in the midfield. But van de Ven’s ability to sprint back goes a long way towards allowing them to play a high press. And I don’t think Postecoglu will back off of that.

Yeah, my concern is PGMOLs insistence on being involved to some degree. Always felt like until VAR got taken out of their hands completely, it'd be screwed for the exact reasons that got confirmed this summer (didn't want to have my buddy look bad!).


We've got a slightly used Chalobah available this January for a cool 45M!

And no, not a chance he backs off the press, mate.
