Without opinion they are irrelevant. So they have to have strong and clear opinions to exist. Those opinions are created in brains with iq’s of less than 80.
It’s like believing what a 10 year old child says.
Journalists are the same.
By even reading it, you pay them and damage your mental health tiny bit by tiny bit
There is a lot of merit in what you write crossie.
One can never read enough , review what has been read and said.
Elsewhere it has been pointed out countless times that ffp was introduced by the red cartel to try to stay at the top.
If i have a company and win loads on the lotto, i can put that money into the company and there would be nothing to stop that company , say ,buying wigan fc for example ( bit far fetched i know). The company is subject to laws of the land first and foremost. So how come the PL can bother to come up with some flimsy rules that don't even reflect the laws of the land and free market competition ?
The point about the media and these ex player jerks from the rags and scouse 2, is valid. I wonder how many books they read, how many periodicals etc.? The only recent player that has gone into further education i can recall is Kompany. You can bet that whilst in Germany he is reading in German to improve his communication skills .
Why should they bother ?
I think one reason is that more astute readers of the articles in the press can pick holes in what is written or can see the basic prejudice in the articles. The click bait journalism somehow manages to extract money from advertisers.
Gobber, Keane and Neville know this and are getting away with it.
The media outlets and these ex pros need to be humbled.
