F1 has a legitimate crisis, motor racing without possible overtaking is not motor racing.

Fans are left on mistake watch rather than moments of genius.

It’s ultimately boring.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@AnnieEaves This is actually the stupidness I can’t wrap my head around.

Etihad was loss making and owned by the government. Why there wasn’t just a conversation from the government that they’ll get funding on the condition they sponsor City £Xm.

Should have never been on City’s emails.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@DamianHastie You’re talking like they sold below market value to the market and then boosted it. They sold below market value to an airline they owned that was loss making and receiving their financial support. The FMV didn’t matter, the vehicle did.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@mrdaniel989 You do realise the owners are from Abu Dhabi and so are the companies? That Etihad was loss making and receiving government support from those owners.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@DamianHastie @ChrisRo83994380 Because the owners also run AD and wanted to use city to promote their own top companies. Therefore the government had dual interest, fund city and promote AD companies. Therefore whatever they could afford they contributed and they back them the rest to min. Club losses

@antjk1 @xpi3on6age9 Considering Pearce was emailing these arrangements from a government email probably further implies that. So CAS likely said no ADUG no issues, where as Prem said there’s also government funding involved. Who knows 🤷

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@antjk1 @xpi3on6age9 CAS ruled that despite emails stating the arrangement there was no link that Etihad received money from ADUG to pay on. However What is well documented is that Etihad was receiving large, ongoing support from the Abu Dhabi government. Prem probably thinks this is the direct link.

@mark1_1878 @themagic_tophat I’d be intrigued around the loss utilisation rules. Considering they’ve effectively minimised losses they couldn’t use at Man City on other companies that are large global tax paying entities and would have effective tax rates in place.’

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@FTPSportsMgmt @moulder_fo41903 @jfunnell_lfc City were loss making and declaring more revenue to decrease the loss so that it complied with the rules. Tax was always zero in the UK but they shifted their losses into other companies which were probably profitable, those companies then likely paid less tax

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@andyblatch64 @moulder_fo41903 @jfunnell_lfc It actually is a tax issue, sorry just because they added revenue doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect tax. In Abu Dhabi tax is 9%, by creating more revenue in Man City which was loss making and shifting that cost to Abu Dhabi, you’re utilising your losses in another tax paying state.

@JewxlOW @bmxriderclub @the_mediaman1 @FPL_Harry @LetsTalk_FPL @FPLFocal @FPL__Raptor My father in law won a 30 person family league last year for the first time and I found out last week it’s because he follows an influencer account and picks up who they suggest.

Literally not even playing against him anymore, we just have that influencer in the league.

@DrGridiron_MD @NFL Having played on these surfaces a lot this has little to do with concrete and more to do with the friction created with the rubber pieces and the lining underneath the grass. Sometimes you just get caught in it and you don’t slide out of impact

@BradMayorFPL Calafiori the infamous attacking threat with 1 goal and 16 blanks last season 🫣

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

I will die on the hill that it’s nothing to do with Tuchel or Subs or any of that shit and it never has.

Top English players get over used by their clubs, run into the ground and turn up to world cups 75% fit.

They then gas out in big moments when the intensity increases.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@Scott_Geelan That’s wonderful in theory but collectively the team gassed out and shit the bed vs Argentina and our issues were the lack of legs in central midfield. I love Saka and Rashford but they weren’t the solution. We needed Zubamendi, Pedri and Merino to come on for us 😂😂😂

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@Snakeysnakey7 @UnofficialPund1 People say this but arguably Rooney was as good if not better than Kane and we never got anywhere with him too.

Both forwards who hate playing on the last man and desperate to leave the CBs to relax whilst they ping a 30 yard pass to a winger who has no one to cross to.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@EnglandExtra If that semi final trauma means Tuchel and the players understand we will never accept them parking the bus at 1-0 again, we live on.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@TouchlineX Youth football you’ve got:
Chizaram Ezenwata (17) - 45GA in 59
Lorenz Hutchinson (18) - 42GA in 56
Sean Neave (19) - 54GA in 82
Shumaira Mheuka (18) - 56GA in 94
Ben Casey (18) - 43GA in 73
Joshua Ajala (19) - 50GA in 94

One of them will emerge in the next 4 years

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

@markgoldbridge Tuchel never put us in a back five. The board is literally a 352.

Maybe Tuchel was screaming at them to match up in midfield, press on and they just gave up and dropped into a back 5.

He called it out vs Norway and Jude laughed it off. Tuchel was probably fuming but helpless.

[DMNets.eth @DMNets_]

Can’t criticise Tuchel for switching to 3-5-2

If the players had the intensity they would have dominated Argentina with a press high up the pitch.

They stopped playing, they stopped pressing. They gassed.

The entire tourney Barry and Tuchel said the players weren’t listening.
