Also same here! Micro-managing the schit out of everything because the seniors are schit scared of things going wrong (well, boo-hoo, that's what you get paid the big bucks for) so no one is allowed or trusted to just get on with it (although I have a feeling I am 'cos I've been there for years and can actually do the job but doesn't stop me from having to go along with the micro-managing).
Everything has to be logged and accounted for and put on sharepoint spreadsheets and the same duplicated on other systems/platforms. Such an utter waste of time and resource.

Despite having the denomination '25', these would all have to have been developed and put together last year so they're always out of date on release.
With consoles in particular being linked to the internet, I'm surprised they can't be patch updated maybe twice a year with the team changes but maybe that's just too costly and time consuming for the developer/publisher to do. |

I have about half-a-dozen multiple attended zoom meetings each week (half of those with people in Germany, Czech Republic etc).
It's not that bad with the aforementioned countries as we're all a bit more disciplined in how the meeting flows, but it feels to me with the internal company calls these days everything (zooms calls, emails etc) is decision by committee (ten million people getting "looped in" on every fkin email) as no one wants to make a decision themselves about anything for fear of accountability even if it is in fact their job to actually make a fking decision.
Everything gets deferred to someone else who never responds and I'm forever following up with my people to find out if we have an answer on something.

I doubt agents are there to (even if they suggest otherwise) ensure the well being of their client in the sense of finding the club that is best for them and most likely to provide the best opportunities of regular first team football and as much on-field success as possible.
They're out to get the best ££ they can. I doubt they give a schit if the player is on the bench or not.

Manager signs lucrative 2 1/2 year contract. Two months later said Manager slags off the team. Team downs tools, results get even worse, manager gets sacked. £££$$$kerrrchiiinnngg.

Would be funny if Man Utd and Tottenham went down naturally and Man City got forcefully relegated.
However, would soon wear off as the Championship turns into the SPL for one season and with the three of them all breaking the divisional points record and seeing who comes out top.

Ronaldo on €3m a week. Contract expires end of season and looking to re-sign. Been banging in the goals but the team still 3rd and 12 points off the lead at the halfway stage. |

To a degree yes but I think they have to listen too and maybe realise that occasionally another option might actually be better. If they choose to carry on with their own direction that's fine, but don't be surprised if it all goes pete tong. |

Seems like doing a Chelsea by spreading cost over a long contract but I thought it was limited for 5 years? Unless that only applies to a new signing.
World has gone bonkers. I remember when we talked out £50k a week being utterly insane (which it was and still is). Now the likes of £100k/200k/500k are being banded around like it's small change. |

Yeah, at some point I guess a decision has to be made either way. Worked OK for Smyth, just hope it turns out OK for Kelman. |

Sadly i think most clubs in the top division are iffy, but Chelsea were off the scale.
I understand current owners saying they should not be penalised for past owners doings so simply strip the club of titles it ‘won’ during that time. It happened to Juventus. |

Three of them probably cost less than Lineker, nice reduction on our TV License fee I'm sure.....
I think the choices are OK for the same reasons as above but I haven't watched MoTD in years. Endless waffle about the ref or, now, VAR.
I just watch the highlights/goals on my SkySports app (free to view), not really interested in 10 mins of the game and 15 mins of waffle afterwards. |

Football is a business and football clubs are business. Unless we have fan ownership there's not a lot more we can do any more than I can do anything about the fact my local supermarket charges 89p for a cucumber when a couple of years ago it was 50p.
Where it gets blurred is football is emotional and a cucumber is not (well, not for me anyway) so not quite sure what we can do other than turn our backs on it completely (and I know those who have) or carry on.
The closest I think we came to any kind of revolution was the centre pitch sit-in (I was there!) against Man City during the time of the whole Fulham Park Rangers debacle.
One option is to buy-out the owners and take over ownership, with all the costs that go with it, and run the club in a way they see fit.
Other than that, I don't see what other options there are? |
