You witness the reaction of fans up and down England when 6 PL, 3 Italian and 3 Spanish tried to set up an European Super League Promotion and relegation is part and parcel of football Probably cos I open to new ideas and trying these things out. Plus I seen it for years in NBA players/head coaches during a game or showing locker room footage during Rugby league games or speaking to F1 team principles during F1 qualifying sessions and races. Other sports have done so why not football. Let's be honest it going a small bit of dressing room footage and nothing more probably about 10 to 15 seconds clips of what is happening in the dressing room and a couple of interviews with players who have been sub. Not that much of a change isn't it. Still the game can be stopped for a number of minutes, no communication to the fans. In International Rugby Union you can hear what the ref and VAR person are saying. So why can't Football do that

2 nil now. Been a good performance so far. Anderson should be a must in the senior squad for the next game Off to Bayer Leverkusen after this tournament. £30m plus £6m in.add ons

Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I would suggest you actually look who wants to bring in these things and its from the PL from what I read about it. Yes the great VAR that takes 5 minutes to make a decisions keeping all fans within the stadium in the dark. Wasn't in favour of it in the first place and still ain't

I think its the PL driving these changes and trying to mirror the NBA and NFL sports where this sort of behind of the scenes is all part of this. This is just restrictions to just Sky Games but all games. In Overseas countries they get all games not just the 4/5 games on Tv like we do. Premier League introduce raft of controversial US-style changes including half-time interviews

They have told you they are align so why not believe it instead of this they not be but could be, we just don't know bollocks

Get more people interesting and closer to football action. What is wrong with seeing if it is going to popular or not. Works in other sports so why not football? what's wrong with footage inside the dressing room? Its all about what you want and not seeing from other people who want this. It is common place in NBA to interview players and head coaches during games VAR is a pile of shit. takes too long, fans in stadium left in the dark, refs on the pitch are frighten to make decisions, but we fetch in VAR despite all these concerns but you are in favour of it. But complaining about a minor change to coverage See above to your question This is minor change whilst VAR was game changing decision by the football authorities which has made the time delay to the games, zero communication to fans within Stadium and even fans at home, etc. That has changed the game forever, an interview with player coming off or footage inside the dressing room isn't anything like VAR change has been.

Yourself are always looking for something not there between Gestede/Owen and Ismael aren't Align. exactly, but 1000% wont name who this well respected journalist is there tho. Most journalists have a twitter account to post things online even if their news paper or other media to post the story very good example points Massive gamble for Derby playing that amount of money for an unknown striker from MLS

How about letting the game develop and grow? Making fans feel closer to the players and game? I dont like VAR for plenty of reasons including slower of decisions, get them wrong, no communication to fans within Stadium and TV audiences. This doesn't slow the game down does it?

True it does but what's the trying to look for something that we don't actually know. They both said they align so we have to take their word surely? So what's the point looking for negative in the situation every time? Gestede and Ismael have said they are align In the view which positions needs signings and who we sign.. But you have different people with different opinions on players just like in the normal workplace where you favour one candidate over another for different reasons. Football recruitment is the exactly the same problem.

more conspiracy theories here How do you know that Ismael doesn't sign off every signing and trusts his scouting staff, Gestede and Owen to bring the right profile of players?

You act like it was just Eustace making the calls on transfers last summer which wasn't the case. It was joint effort between Gestede, Owen, Eustace and Park in terms of transfers. Eustace signed off every transfer we signed. Just like it is now between Gestede, Owen, Ismael and the senior scouts Just for the record, I don't reply to Mercer and I don't read them either. I sometimes reply to the others but I will try to limit the responses if I can

We all know what Ismael said. Has anyone forget this? No. You can hold your hands and say you were wrong about this.

It's happens whether F1 or Cricket(sometimes) or NBA now, why not see if it can work in football as it does in those sports. They are speaking to players who have come off not head coaches during a game like the NBA does.. I don't see it pandering but more interact with the audience whether here or overseas

No surprises, let's see what it like before we judge it. Works in other sports so why not football

Wrong there several points Ok fair enough Never said that but he does prefer experience people. Think Morris is a good signing. We see. You didn't think we would any signings yet in but we had 2 signings in and hopefully a third in shortly

Massive risk to loan out him without someone coming in and after Wharton's serious injury 1 goal in 3.5 games. How much is he costing?

Played in 3-1 win over Stoke city

Well I take it you don't follow any US sports then?

Must be closing on centre back signing?

Eustace wants only certain style of players and you can see that through his time at Birmingham and Us. He prefers the UK market. He wanted more control over signings and who the club signs. He wasn't going to get that here. He has more say in transfers at Derby and you see that with his first signings. Morris is a target striker he wants, Batth and Weimann are experience players who fits his style. He is also targeting Dion Sanderson.

Is he proven at Championship and what wages are QPR offering considering that Birmingham were offering 30k was the rumour. Can you say he is worth that wage? standard line from yourself very good post. We got a scout who left Man Utd and we appointed him here and we appointed Dundee United DoF as one of our lead scout You mean George Hirst who JDT couldn't get firing but McKenna did helping them to get 2 promotions.

Standard practice in America sports and the PL is appealing more to the fans over there and don't forget that NBC Sports in America covers PL over there. NBC's owners Comcast owned Sky aswell He need a good experience staff around him and a number 2 who is align with him.
