The introduction of VAR is driving the rule changes and nobody is prepared to admit what a shambles it is and remove it. The difference is VAR has made the rules need to be forensic by using the technology rather than someone’s line of sight on the pitch. Without VAR I do not remember seeing...

The major flaw behind VAR is expecting the very same people who make inconsistent decisions on the pitch to make consistent ones off it. Still maintain VAR has created a bigger problem than the one it was trying to solve

Rather than a blanket division rule I would rather any money was paid into a central fund which clubs in need are able to apply for access to. That way clubs with billionaire owners who have been (and continue) to be overspending would not be eligible and the clubs who genuinely need help and...

£25 a month and to keep the broadcasting cost down can just show the game without crap commentators, fake crowd noise, boring pundits or any of the other tedious nonsense

So whilst Parry and co try to make the power play and exploit the current desperation those 8-10 clubs become demonised for being the ones who vote against the ‘safety package’ for the EFL. You can bet the first thing the newly created group would vote for is negotiation of their own TV rights...

Well the PL clubs can’t have it both ways they are either hard up and need more fan money and need to cut back their own spending or they are not so continue to buy players. The fact we have just spent over £10m on a couple of players out on loan suggests we might not be feeling the pinch as...

Agree and I think it’s not about individual clubs and more to do with the current situation heightening the disconnect between PL clubs and the rest or normality. Clubs are laying off staff who are on living wages (not the Albion granted) holding ST money, asking Joe public for more TV revenue...

I am struggling enough for enthusiasm towards this soulless inferior crap that is being dished up this season without fans so the idea I would pay another £15 per match to watch it is just another signpost of how far the PL has disappeared up its own arse.

Very well put and exactly my concern and find it odd that people seem to be jumping up and down over anyone who can clearly see a glaring risk in the striking department. There is no doubt not recruiting a credible back up to Maupay and Connelly is a risk and if anything goes wrong between...

Very much this

No but like all the clubs in and around us we are 1-2 key players being injured from being in real trouble. Look how injuries impacted Bournemouth last season they plummeted. Been done to death on here but if we lost Maupay for any length of time I think we would really struggle with the...

Option to shorten loan in December sounds very Brighton keen to avoid another Ali Mac situation!!

Unless you have forgotten we were in for a striker for over £20m a month ago which suggests the club are quite happy we can sign someone decent and be sustainable. We are playing in the one of the most competitive leagues in the world and our business model requires us to stay there so it’s...

Can you **** off until then?

Not worried about the points as 3-4 is what would be expected from that group of fixtures and we have looked excellent at times. My concern is with the volume of basic areas, poor game management and how leaky we are at the back. We are matching teams but too often the architects of our own...

Just poor game management by the players and maybe a sign of the less experienced younger side on the pitch. Today was a great example we get the goal just see it out until half time even if that means a few tactical fouls high up the pitch passing it around endlessly at the back whatever it...

I imagine most fans are not at the extreme ends of these debates where you are either labelled a club licker or bedwetter. I would say most are probably thinking we look decent but basic errors, defending set pieces and a lack of game management are undoing all our hard work. So points so far...

Too obvious isn’t it our game management is appalling get back into it and then can’t keep the ball and get to half time. Absolutely amateur at times
