Football League To Be Renamed

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Perhaps Cardiff Newport and if they get relegated Swansea will pull out and become big guns in the Welsh League

Amazing to relate, I don't think that seems likely

 

[Yoda]

Perhaps that's the point, they couldn't use TFL because another major organisation was using it. Or the bods on 5live were making it up

But what was wrong with Sky's tag for it? FL72?

What sort of bunch of fuc*kwits does it take to make a stupid decision like that? It didn't need changing; just some twats wanting to 'make their mark'.

A terrible example of management corporate logic - 'We changed something and it worked out well; therefore, ALL change is good; therefore, EVERYTHING must be changed, and we must be seen to be changing it.'

"In, fire 30% of the workforce, new logo, boom! Out. You are now a fully trained management consultant."

I'm with you - complete waste of time. Are Sky Sports, BBC, Channel 5 et al really going to say "now the English Football League stories / results / tables" etc..... like we've all forgotten which country we are living in, (except the Welsh). FIFA get really pissed off because the English FA is simply The FA, The Open doesn't need qualification as a remarkable golf tournament, and I know what the Football League is - and has been for 127 years. Whoever Shaun Harvey is will be forgotten in a few short years and someone sensible will reclaim the wonderful tradition of The Football League - the original.

Next thing, they'll re-brand postage stamps and put "Great Britain" under the Queen's head.

I was waiting for a bite. The school competition thing was bullsh*t. Long day - sorry.

Fair enough mate, it looked like the result of one

So nothing counts before 2015. Great. Just as we were Ready to celebrate footballs 25th anniversary. Following the 1993 reset. The Club will need to do new merchandise...Since 2015, the 2015 club etc or there's going to be Chaos. How will fans new to the game from 2015 cope when those new to the game since 1993 still haven't heard of Liverpool let alone Spurs or Huddersfield. What if someone tells them football existed before this? Has anyone thought this through? Or will pre 2015 be added to the school curriculum as pre 1993 should be (still being debated I believe)? Clearly no one in authority has considered this properly. FFS, it's Iraq all over again. No after the main event planning. Innit going to stand for it. I'm going to tell people what really happened. That football as a sport existed before all the rebranding. That Brighton got to a cup final. That they played in the then Premier League. I've got the evidence. Tim Carders book and everything. Screw you Club 2015, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

Pub quiz 2067.

What current English Premier League team (and multiple Champions of Europe) was the last team to win the EFL before it was renamed in 2016..........?

Splendid rant, Sir!

Shirley it's just been done to make it more appealing to johnny foreigner Everyone love a TLA innit
The real c*nts are the FA , namely that pompey taig Graham Kelly.

 

[Notters]

The Cardiff lot don't seem bothered at all. I think it's a ridiculously crap idea. Also hate the crap spouted about how the championship, league 1 and league 2 are popular names. Are they ****. It should be Divisions 2, 3 and 4.

I'm just going to keep calling it the 'football league' no matter what they change it to.

It's people,like you that can't embrace change that put our entire civilasation at risk. Think what happened to the dinasour, get a grip man!

Why thank you, Sir!

Does this mean that using the term FA to mean "**** All" will be made illegal?

Dear Football League

What a dreadful waste of money whatever it is you have paid the marketing agency for this.
I never want to hear how much this cost you to try and imitate the money mad Premier League.

Your current logo is unmistakably the English Football League.
Your new corporate logo could be the NFL, but is most commonly known across the world by the acronym that stands for English as a Foreign Language.

I used to work for Royal Mail. For a year they changed the name to Consignia at a cost of £40 million.
They changed it back and wrote off the loss within a year, because they realised that Royal Mail described the business and its proud heritage, whereas Consignia only meant anything to the marketing agency who designed it.

Your priorities ought to be the management of the business, not the logo.
Deal with the rogue owners of your membership clubs (Leeds, Birmingham, et al)
Implement the financial fair play rules as they were originally drawn up instead of bowing to the people who don't want to play along.

I am proud to support a Football League Club. The football league is as poorly managed as the days of Graham Kelly and the committees of the 1990s

I will let you know if i get a reply
