Quoted from diehardmariner


Could be ages away before China hosts a World Cup.  2026 will probably go to the BNorth Americas and then 2030 either South America or Europe, potentially with the non successful region getting 2034.  Be surprised if China gets a World Cup until 2038.  


I wont be going then , I will be 90 in 2038..

Leicester could finish anywhere from 8th to 15th after the final fixtures. That would make a difference of £11.4m in prize money.

West Ham could be 9th or 16th, a difference of £13m.

The same applies to a number of clubs in mid-table. There is a massive amount of cash to play for in these seemingly dead fixtures and that will affect their transfer budgets in the summer.

What annoys me though, apart from the fact that PL clubs don't deserve it, is that a lot of this money will go abroad in transfer and agents fees. It won't filter down the league food chain like it used to.

It's not even the 'english' premier league anymore. Many things wrong with it (among the good things)

* too many foreign players - bought for instant success
* the ludicrous wages
* the ridiculous ticket prices
* too many 'tourist fans' at games. The place that's within the heart of the club is now awash with selfie sticks and groundhoppers
* sly tv and the like
