YOU LET YOUR COUNTRY DOWN, YOU LET YOUR COUNTRY DOWN

[Roberto Parrottino @rparrottino]

Marcelo Bielsa: “Jugar cuatro tiempos en lugar de dos altera la concepción que culturalmente se había construido para interpretar el fútbol. No le agrega nada y le quita mucho. Cuando se dividió en cuatro no se pensó en el efecto que puede tener sobre lo que hizo que el fútbol sea un deporte que enamora, sino que se pensó en otro tipo de repercusiones que no las discuto ni las analizo. Antes de esta decisión el fútbol tenía una característica; ahora tiene otra. La gente se enamora del juego por sus características”.

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a series of claims about the BBC's coverage of events in Gaza on Sunday. We've looked at the claims - and the number of misrepresentations and untruths that they contained.

The true champion. Seriously, Dan James has been THE standout outfield player in the Championship this season. Streets ahead of Hamer and far more consistent. James Trafford an incredibly strong contender too after an outstanding season. I’m stunned it wasn’t either of those two.

I hope you’re right, Marcelo. I hope you’re right.

PSR, P&S, FFP is broken.

It was meant to level the playing field financially. But it keeps you in your place, and rewards clubs who break the rules.

Some clubs bend over backwards to try & stay within the rules. #LUFC selling Archie Gray, #NUFC selling Elliot Anderson.

Home grown talent sold to tick an accounting box. Young lads who love their home team auctioned off like cattle at a market.

Both players have family members who played for their club, historical ties cut for a broken system.

And what happens to the teams that break the rules?

Everton, Leicester, Nottingham Forest all broke the rules and got a tiny points deduction. Pittance compared to reward of staying in (or getting promoted back to) the Premier League.

Man City broke the rules 115 times and have had zero consequences, except filling their trophy cabinet up and patting themselves on the back.

Football is crying out for independent regulation, because it cannot regulate itself.

Leeds United are maybe the ultimate example of why some form of financial constraints and owner oversight is required.

Peter Risdale's financial dream almost snuffed out one of the biggest clubs in England.

Everton (and Forest and Leicester) out-spent Leeds and as a consequence stayed up (or got promoted) and Leeds got relegated and stayed down.

Everton's punishment was a 10 point deduction. Fairly significant but not handed out in the relevant season, nor impactful on their top tier status.

And the punishment for breaking the rules has not rewarded Leeds for abiding by the rules. And every year Everton stay up at Leeds expense, is another £100 million of Premier League TV rights.

Leeds should have just broken the rules and stayed up. They would be several 100 million pounds better off and still be in the Premier League.

When clubs benefit from breaking the rules - with little to no consequences - and the cost of compliance is to sell your best academy players. Then the system is utterly broken.

Between FFP, VAR (toenails offside), rogue agents, sports washing, FIFA corruption, state owned clubs, etc etc football in 2024 is the wild west.

And about as far away from the game we love as possible.

And it is in desperate need of regulation or revolution.

#UCL x #GoalOfTheDay

[LUFCFANZONE @LUFCFANZ0NE]

Original fixture list:

20th April 3pm - Middlesbrough vs Leeds United

27th April 3pm - QPR vs Leeds United.

The actual fixture list:

22nd April 8pm -Middlesbrough vs Leeds United

26th April 8pm - QPR vs Leeds United

Solely because of Sky TV, Leeds United have gone from playing two away fixtures in 7 days, to two 8pm midweek away kick-offs within the space of 96 hours.

This is completely unacceptable, Leeds United are being treated as the cash cow of the football league with potential season changing consequences.

I think now is time that our fans acted upon this.

Occasional reminder that we got more money for a broken Tyler Adams than we paid for Ethan Ampadu, Glen Kamara, Ilia Gruev & still had more than enough money left over to give Archie Gray a new contract. #lufc
