Sir Jim Ratcliffe is settling a Male Utd circus so what can he execute? Plus, Liverpool as the planet’s biggest nightclub and more.
Send your thoughts to [email protected]. Any early predictions for next off period?
Which is the most secure league and why is it the Premier League?
Sweet mailbox this early morning.
Dave, Manchester funnelled out some intriguing times on the EPL versus other leagues. It advised me of an addition I’d like to visit to the football schedule – League versus League.
At the expire of the league period, you pair up 2 leagues (e.g. EPL versus Serie A) and every team plays the specific same ranked team in the other league abode and away. So Liverpool/Napoli, Arsenal/Inter, unanimously the way down to Southampton/Monza. Three times for a win, one for a draw on enhance across the 2 legs and after that add up the times won by teams from each league. The league wearing the the majority of times wins.
There are some times to iron out.
– How execute you decide the league pairings? You could consumption the UEFA coefficients and pair down the positions. Via the current coefficients, that would median EPL Vs Serie A, La Liga Vs Bundesliga, Ligue 1 vs Eredivisie and so on. After that you could accolade innumerable coefficient times for the tournament so leagues that execute faultlessly tend to play better-ranked leagues the next off period.
– How to sustain suit-ups in between 20-team leagues and 18-team leagues? Perhaps simply thieve the top 2 teams from the next off division down to administer up the numbers.
– What to execute about teams that have been handed over/proclaimed? I’d preserve the handed over teams in – the tournament is a representation of the potency of the league from the period simply wrapped up.
– How to suit it in the schedule? Incision ago the layouts of the other European nightclub tournaments to slash usual fixture erections by about 2 per team. Those tournaments have too innumerable arcades anyway, and this would lug in more TV silver silver silvers, offered that piousness would be broader. I have most certainly no piousness in shadowing Chelsea play Lugano in the Europa Meeting, yet I would be entertained in shadowing them play Lazio to help allocate bragging civil liberties in between the EPL and Serie A.
If and as conveniently as UEFA execute this, I pine some type of silver silver silvers.
Tom, LFC
P.S. In glancing up some detritus for this mail, I noticed that the 2nd and third top markers in Serie A, as faultlessly as the top assist rep unanimously utilised to play for sodding Everton. I think EPL have obtained this one.
Bayern owe the Premier League
One of the points said to strengthen the potency of the Premier League is that other leagues are much less competitive. Presently, this doesn’t simply median the specific same or couple of teams glamorous those leagues, yet how competitive teams are better down their league framework.
Yet now we are cozy to Transmit Season, one of the points you will most certainly alert is that simply as a team starts to test Bayern in the Bundesliga, English teams start to selection off some of their most secure players. Sure, Bayern have devoured teams lesser in the Bundesliga – yet teams from the Premier League have done so too. In reality, it’s not simply the top teams in the EPL, like City and Liverpool, yet correspondingly those practically unanimously the way down the EPL table.
Presently, we are watching practically every superstar player being linked wearing a solutions to the EPL. Granted, this can be as much about an agent seeking direct exposure to augment negotiations or a correspondent planning for clicks, yet the EPL owns evenly derived innumerable Bundesliga players over the last couple of years. Excess than from La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, or innumerable of the low leagues.
Bayern could pine to give thanks to the EPL for helping them preserve procedure in the Bundesliga, continue to be competitive in the Champs League and flourish their revenues.

Don’t blame Ratcliffe after 20 desolate years of the Glazers
I receive a miniscule bored of the ‘dime-squeezing Ratcliffe is wickedness and screwing up the nightclub’ type mails which are being gleefully fed by F365’s reporting (predominantly Will Ford).
Joined ran up pre-taxation obligation losses of £312.9m in the 3yrs to 2024…. Will, that’s losses, not revenues.
Presently, I’m no economic whizz, yet that seems like the majority of loose readjust to have to locate down the ago of the sofa. And also as Martin Lewis is oftentimes notifying us, it’s unanimously the tiny economic savings that administer a disagreement.
So I’m not witnessing safeguard Sir Jim; I’ve no hunch if he’ll turn the nightclub’s lendings about, and neither execute you Will (Ford).
Yet he is (checks chits) a self-funnelled out billionaire, so could have a much more detailed hunch of money than humans composing right into (or for) F365.
Will Ford’s ‘Male Utd misers plumb brand name-new-fashioned depths wearing laughably underestimated-rental cost Europa League BBQ revelry way’
Yeah, a BBQ is a miniscule spunk, yet perhaps this is spendings within your strategies and curing everybody just as. Zero parade if they win – be real they’d be mocked if they did, so perhaps a BBQ is in keeping wearing what they be qualified to after a sh*t period?
The “dime squeezing Utd limitation players to 2 fulcrums each” suits the reporting, whereas “the nightclub wants to make sure that as innumerable fulcrums are accessible to fans” executes not.
Utd have predominantly gone from being the richest nightclub in football to debt ridden misers.
And also it is unanimously thanks to the Glazers.
The Glazers usurped 20yrs earlier this month, and offered that after that over £1bn in negotiations pertained to their takeover owns vacated the nightclub incorporating approx. £166m confiscated in dividends. Of the £679m Ratcliffe invested, about £151m attended each of the Glazers, not the nightclub.
Disregarding the economic mismanagement throughout their tenure, overpaying for sub-par players on overlong agreements, those numbers are eye-watering.
The nightclub is a economic shambles thanks to the Glazers.
I would visualize if Will (Ford) located that his abode mortgage repayment owned doubled, and his livelihood halved after he’d currently enlisted to, among other points, innumerable long term auto-money bargains, and a correspondence course in English, he probably wouldn’t be buying unanimously the babycham, crisps, peanuts at the homeowner and put up curries for his mates afterwards.
Of course, both his mates would slag him off and phone call him a tight-fisted dime pincher as he inoculations to administer ends fulfill.

WIN Europa League last fulcrums – and strengthen the Red Cross
Martin Lewis would be proud
Would love to visit Manchester Joined win the ‘bald individual comb’ mug and after that Sir Jim penalty the players £25 each to have a image wearing the prize. £50 to lift it..
Martin LFC (every miniscule helps)
Why those late flags crunch…
Confiscate away the racket from their Chairman.
Awoniyi owns owned to be placed in a clinical coma due to this injury.
This could unanimously have been remained clear of if the officials are made it feasible for to flag clear offsides early and not play on.
A serious injury which was avoidable was unborn. I mistrusted a leg go against, cruciate or some other period ending up injury. Not this.
This is not intended to be a agglomeration-on for the queues guy. It’s not their culpability. They are told to preserve the flag down.
Blame tests at the door of the FA.

The media suck
I’m simply nauseous of the English sporting press. They’re predominantly a sphere of wax of whores who will most certainly execute anything for a click/pivot. Twice today, I’ve clicked on headings that imply that Nuno Espirito Santo owned leave Timberland after the vendor’s senseless outburst at the expire of the abode suit v Leicester. One was a “story” about his Wolves exit making earn manipulate of of a image from his vacancy at Nottingham Timberland, the other was merely a lie.
Naturally a individual from the abode of Fox Explanations doesn’t have the majority of rocks to throw, yet why execute journalists accept being click- bait? It could only be sport, yet that doesn’t median you can’t have precepts.
Chris C, Toon Army DC (While I’m at it: screw Jamie Carragher too, the horrid c*nt.)
Conserve that f***ing perch mail
Sorry to hear F365 thrown away its archive in the mid 2010’s. I execute hope it’s a entertaining story compeling an occupational space party, innumerable alcohol and a fart lights pivot gone drastically wrong. The majority of probably a far more out of guidance description, such as a tech illiterate Jon Nich emboldening a cheat of wrong mysteries.
Presently that ‘Archive II’ is up an running, please preserve Dave LFC’s post somewhere secure and perhaps administer a couple of matches on floppy disk for insurance. So next off year as conveniently as Liverpool coating 3rd in the league, we can thieve another sift at his Trumpesque fantasize of planet football procedure.
For what it’s well worth, my wonderfully own ideata is that Liverpool struggle next off year wearing an aging Mo Salah and VVD unborn to be much less effective. At the specific same time, in Spain, Xabi Alonso patchworks the egos out, matches the pensioners and builds another Madrid team that will most certainly thieve some spurning.
Kisses,
Mick, Newcastle
…I like that the mailbox contains invariant eccentric payments that are chucked in there specifically to stimulate a solutions. It’s one of the points that keeps me unborn ago, offered that the conversation can be gold. To that expire, Dave LFC’s letter this early morning is 100% in that style. It’s taking the “boo hoo Trent scorned us, he’s so WRONG” reporting right into orbit.
Dave seems to think that Liverpool are now firmly designed as the utterly spearheading power in the Premier League, way reasonable to freely win titles for a years to come á la PSG, Celtic etc. That’s surely the only determinant you can retrain your vistas to usurping Real Madrid astride European football, right? Why jump ship to that mob as conveniently as we’re about to overtake them? Eh? Eh?
Liverpool are unborn off a first league title in 5 years (2nd in 35!!!), totally deserved yet wearing reliable inquiry marks over the dilemma sported to them. An exit from the Champs League at the last 16 phase having been beat abode and away. A limp league mug last loss, and throwing away to a lesser league team in the FA mug. In the grand contraption it’s not exactly the sift of period that blares “watch out Europe, here we come” is it? I’d claim that Barcelona, PSG, Bayern and Inter have unanimously objectively wrapped up more over the course of their periods.
Yet it’s Liverpool, so of course the blue touch record owns been lit and they’re on the penalty like it’s the early 80s once again. And also if Jonny Nic as conveniently as said something about them having a ceiling, it MUST be the skin. This is top tier bonkers, backed up by references to a years old write-up written by a individual who seems to pine for an era of football as conveniently as points were simpler and English teams at a general level were utterly spearheading. The fond memories and the linked theorisation there are not unbiased in any way.
Zero disrespect to LFC as a nightclub here. They ordinarily have a high ceiling, as execute unanimously the other burly clubs. That’s the nature of being place the way that they unanimously are. It’s simply truly arrogant and one-leered to think that you’re in some way the ONLY team qualified of such majestic success that you can screen the sickening team of bullies who thieve place to have simply freely nicked your home district-hero-revolved-traitorous-swine. The usual self-fixated twaddle from fans who we’re told are a going away minority, yet who appear to be universal almost everywhere football is cited.
As a more picky reply to Dave’s determinant about Liverpool’s prestige as the English team wearing unprecedented opportunity: City could rejoinder to their previous semblance wearing the right tweaks to their team over the summer season, without the phone call for for any tool-term product. Chelsea and Arsenal both have severely identifiable enfranchisement for breakthrough.
And also while they’re currently a overall stun, if Joined greatly receive their spunk together over the next off 5 years and their gridiron tactics come to fulfillment, you could readily claim that they’d ordinarily reassume the mantle of “biggest nightclub in England” instead of that proverb simply echoing about Old Trafford as it executes at the minute. I’m obscure any of those disciple substructures will most certainly way the crosshairs on Real if they execute “ascend to the perch” though.

…Thanks Dave, I in reality didn’t phone call for advising how tiny minded and arrogant the cult loyalists of LFC are yet you admittedly juggled it.
Sorry Arsenal fans, let’s unanimously preserve in mind who the the majority of peeving disciple guidance are.
