Hafnia Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm still not attached to a team in the NFL yet.... First US state I went to was Baltimore..... landed there .. that was it. Stayed in LA and San Diego and Vega (they don't have a team). I'm drawn to Kansas City.... dunno why. But their Quarter Back is potfntially gonna be the greatest of all time. Patrick Mahomes. Kid has got serious talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played American football for Swindon Steelers 91-93 that’s who I followed, I wouldn’t have a clue who’s who nowadays haven’t had an interest for over 20 years now.

Isn’t that the only reason to have more women in the workplace? Seriously though, nice to see a woman get the role of a male dominated sport. Provided she’s put there for her skill set and not the bullshit forced-equality that I’ve rambled on before. MikeO and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Awesome news we don’t want to give him money. He can fuck right off. And elstone?

markjazzbassist Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 this is the legal bribery that ensures the top clubs get preferential treatment. i can't see bournemouth and huddersfield paying this, i hope we don't either.

MikeO Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 They excuse it by saying... "The Premier League's UK television rights were valued at about £670m when Scudamore joined the organisation in 1999, while the most recent deal was worth £5.14bn." True enough but that was down to market forces, he was effectively the auctioneer, any number of people could've done it; I'd have taken it on at a tenth of his salary. I could've struggled through on £250,000 pa. Also.. "He will remain with the Premier League in an advisory capacity." How much is he getting paid for that?

I am really disappointed in both Everton and Liverpool paying this money, well any club in truth. I get that he has made these chairmen a lot of money but that was his job and I can imagine he was paid very handsomely for it and I also imagine it had more than a few perks.
