@BFNoles@NoMad_Peets@TheDeuce "Daylight" was the rule for years and years. People still moaned about it. It doesn't matter where the line is, a player will still be offside of that line by a millimeter sooner or later.
You can apply a one metre tolerance, you can still be 1.0001 metres offside.
@Harry_Hotspur0 Yes, everyone knows this. People are saying this in response to the narrative that he's gone to Spurs for the De Zerbi Project (TM), or because they're massive. He's clearly gone for the money, which is what he did when moving to NUFC too.
@BFNoles@NoMad_Peets@TheDeuce It's the arrogance though. Saying your suggestion would "make it infinitely more watchable" when it's the most watched sport in the world... Literally nobody cares if Americans want to watch it, I think we'd all love it if you never had the world cup again in fact.
@MikeGNolan Well yeah, but Spurs fans (and Tonali himself) are trying to spin it that he's signing for De Zerbi and the project.
No fucker is desperate to sign for a manager who's only achievement in the sport is winning a farmer's league.
@WatoTHFC1882@Jakeholio Yeah, it's a lower level mate. The competition is an embarrassment now that CL teams don't enter it. It's the second easiest cup to win after the conference league.
@WatoTHFC1882@Jakeholio Competition is literally a joke, in the last two seasons, three English teams have reached at least the semis despite being in the bottom 5 of the league.
@WatoTHFC1882@Jakeholio To win the league cup we beat Forest (7th), Chelsea (4th), Brentford (10th), Arsenal (2nd) and Liverpool (1st). Who did you beat to win the Europa League again? Who did Villa beat?
@GeordieKermit9 What makes you think Spurs will get the best out of him and he'll have any hunger at all on huge wages? They haven't got the best out of any player that's signed for them in the last 5 years?
Or is this the De Zerbi myth again...
@RedmanWasTaken@griffen7777@MichaelHincks If Newcastle for instance had their Keegan/Robson era a decade or so later, they'd likely be as big as spurs commercially now. Villa and NUFC are effectively being punished for having owners that didn't care for the most important decade in the league's history (financially)
@RedmanWasTaken@griffen7777@MichaelHincks Spurs were able to build by investing in your squad massively before PSR was a restriction, allowing you to grow commercially at the same time when the league was peaking in terms of revenue.
