The longevity argument is flawed too. Hazard was the best player on every team he played for from Lille to Chelsea to Belgium—for over a decade. His influence has never truly been replaced. De Bruyne is an all-time great, but he thrived in Pep's tailor-made system.
Thank you @Rehan_ulhaq for educating your fellow panelists on who the greatest Belgian player of all time really is. Recency bias has blinded people. Everyone suddenly wants to bring up stats—but if stats were all that mattered, then why isn't Lukaku considered Belgium's GOAT?
Belgium without Hazard is a completely different team. They become turnover-prone, can't retain possession in the final third, and the attack looks disjointed. With him, Belgium had the most fluid and dangerous attack in international footbal similar to France's now
@LANJAMAAR182856@_renegade007@Cricknight07 They are two types of flat track bullies
One like farhan who dominates batting pitches and has a range of shots.
The others are like Nafay and Naeem who will get exposed as soon as they play intl
You can see they only have couple of shots
Naeem was also very poor for shaheens
@Cricknight07 Naeem is a flat track bully
Flopped in domestic and for shaheens
Nafay below avg behind stumps and only knows how to slog.
Shamyl , saad and maaz all top performers in domestic are the future
Not guys like naeem and nafay who get hyped for couple of psl innings

Sent you an email with a presentation on how PSL & Sultans can evolve by adopting ideas from leagues like the NFL and NBA and what I can bring to the table.
Would really appreciate it if you could take a look.
@goharshah95 any official pathways to be considered for a role with Multan Sultans.
Currently working in sports management with deep exposure to global leagues such as the NFL, NBA, MLB, the Premier League, and leading cricket leagues.
@goharshah95@goharshah95 Great idea. Would really work if we have dedicated North South divisions that don't change every year.
Add stump bowling challenge, 6 hitting contest and you could create something similar to All star game in NBA /MLB and Pro Bowl in NFL.

Logo, branding and graphics have been top notch so far
Much better than AI slop we see other franchises using.
Still hope you guys plan on using any other primary color for kits tha orange as they will clash with your rivals Islamabad.
Teal green would look great imo
@SalmanAbbasi805@HHKingsmen@IqraFarooqui87@KingsmenCricket NFL and CFB do the best Fan engagement.
Pre-game rituals would be a great introduction, and tailgating could also improve the match-day culture.
Since you guys are experienced in American sports culture, I hope you work on bringing these elements
In American college football and the NFL, each team has a distinct match-day culture — chants, rituals, entrances, traditions. Supporting each team feels like a completely different experience.
(Examples below 👇)
Once things settle, there’s one area PSL could take to the next level: fan engagement and team personality. Right now, most teams are differentiated mainly by logos and colours.
@TahirPiple@KarachiKingsARY@HaiderAzhar We already have 3 all rounders
Moeen
Khusdil
Abbas Afridi
Would love rana but there are more areas of concern in the team
@Rehan_ulhaq@Rehan_ulhaq
any plans to invite fans to the auction?
Would increase engagement and an event fans look forward to annually.
Even 30-40 per team would be great.
@Rehan_ulhaq@Rehan_ulhaq Also rehan PSL should also improve on amplifying rivalries.
Rivalries= more eyeball= more profit.
India vs Pak is the biggest example.
Currently PSL doesn't have any fierce rivalries. PSL should work on that. Simple TV promos like these can get fans invested
@Rehan_ulhaq Islamabad Orange army (Dortmund style Wall tifosi, Karachi Kings roar, Zalmi Waving towels possibilities are endless, and franchises are bound to bring creative ideas. This is a area PSL should really look at. Brings a lot of people do the stadium and creates loyal following
@Rehan_ulhaq@Rehan_ulhaq PSL needs to invest in match-day culture. Watching teams live should feel distinct, yet currently every game feels the same. Global leagues show how rituals, fan traditions, and atmosphere can make each team’s home experience unique.
