Isn’t that the same with Baseball? It’s a self-contained league with no outside competition, hence the financial regulations work. The only way I could see this working is if it is UEFA wide and there are no outside competitions. (I’m excluding that FIFA pantomime thing.)

Love baseball, but don’t know enough about the League to comment.
Would just say, every season in the AFL there are probably 6 clubs that can legitimately be discussed as having a chance of winning the lot. I think that is healthy and would love to see it in the PL, just not sure how you get to that point.

I personally don’t think a draft would work in football as it would nulify the whole Youth academy set up. and goal of club developing their own players.
Also, how do you decide a draft order for a league pyramid that has promotion and relegation?
It would need to be a FIFA rule brought in worldwide, not just UEFA in my opinion. If it was only UEFA wide, you can bet your bottom dollar that Saudi, UAE or some other oil run petro league will try to by up any and every player pissed at their earnings being limited.

It’s only capped on the basis of your reward. No wonder Man Utd are against it now. Probably would have been all for it 10 years ago.

Come on mate, if aerial ping pong is the worst thing about you then things aren’t too bad 
A previously poor Forest outplaying Chelswa here. A reminder that we’ve been well off it recently, notwithstanding the ‘closeness’ of the defeats.
And Ange must be one step closer to the job centre
Taxi for Ange.
City so far negating the otherworldly threat of Haaland by playing him with Doku and Savinho, the latter of whom has been so wasteful he looks like he’s taken money to throw the game

2-0. Haaland got both.
Would be nice as our shiny new striker who has completed his pre-season do that tomorrow.

Palace V Bournemouth match of the day so naturally they will show the bore fest at the Ethiad.
Corner. Goal.
The more they are doing it, the more it feels like it’s finally their season. I hoped Fulham would stop their momentum because Arsenal did drop points in the corresponding game last year but…
Very soft pen
No pen. Well done
