Yea but i don't watch football to see who may or may not lose their job. I watch football because there are consequences for winning and losing. I dont want to watch a series of exhibitions. Not to mention the fun of the buildup towards World Cups and Euros. What is thenpurpose of the careers of these players in these leagues? Where's the glory.People legitimately lose their job in the NFL if these teams are smart they will put that stuff in to contracts so every game will be meaningful and I assume they would do a playoffs system
I don't understand where this exhibition talk comes from if you watch basketball or the NFL there's always something to play for and they adapt the league.Yea but i don't watch football to see who may or may not lose their job.

I fully understand your point about capitalism because I've made the same point myself and in fact for my Masters i posed a research question along those lines about the reformat of the Champions League, but as a fan, forget the business, you can't just be blase about this.

What is crystal palace and wolves Southampton playing for right now? We don't call them exhibitions
Lol I'm not playing devil advocate I'm just saying let the discussion around it be what it is. Premier League especially doesn't care about pricing out fans, we already have exhibition games and we have seen teams priorities mid table over winning a trophy. Etc and the only way to become a big team is with a takeover and even then there's methods in place to keep certain teams at the top.I know you’re playing devils advocate right now but teams that end up at the midtable and thus got nothing to play for is inherent for a league, the same dilemma would happen to the teams that end up mid table in a super league but than without the local - supporters - glory and history ...
There's always something to play for? What teams deliberately tanking so they can get a higher draft pick? If that's what you like in sport then I'm not here to jugde but I dont see how that is more exciting than teams scrapping to avoid relegation. Or the jubilation of getting promoted to the big time.I don't understand where this exhibition talk comes from if you watch basketball or the NFL there's always something to play for and they adapt the league.

I honestly don't think it is. Jose's sacking was a few months in the making honestly. The timing is just weird because of Super League news but not the cause of it, IMOIs this a deflection from this super league saga?
