Valtteri Bottas look.

The main culprit, IMO at least is FFP, which pushes the club to squeeze every penny from anywhere they can. If you get 2 million per friendly game in the US (random figure), playing 5 friendlies means you can afford 1 more 50 million player (amortised over 5 years).

the reason why is because both Tottenham and Newcastle generate much less revenue than the teams they are trying to compete with, and PSR rules make it hard to compete under those circumstances. This game represents a decent amount of additional commercial revenue and an opportunity to expand the clubs brands into a new market. Its a match thats more about the business of football than the game of football

Oh and the bill to introduce an independent regulator got temporarily stop. The PM announced an election for 4th July and that means our government stops next week, and there's not enough time to get the bill through.

At least the Newcastle and Spurs players have a month until the Euros... Ireland Women has 2 games against Sweden next week in Euro 2025 qualifying, (31st at home and 4th away).

I think the "players are playing too many matches" argument doesnt apply too much to Spurs. They played 1 game more than the bare minimum this season. 38 league games, 2 FA Cup games, 1 Carabao Cup game. There are very valid reasons for Spurs to take this trip! Players getting a bit more used to flying off to a remote place for a match (Europa league next season), visiting the manager's hometown (Melbourne) and giving 8-10 academy players a real look in before the summer. All the players were very visibly excited to go to this game. Fixture congestion is a real issue, but this match isn't the issue. Game happened 3 days after the season instead of a week later to let them start their vacation right after

Do you have any thoughts on the season of fabian hürzeler at fc st. pauli?

I wonder if its possible that a player signs a contract that specifically exempts them from extra friendlies/intercontinental tours/early cup games etc... Sure some clubs might not want it and it might drop the wages but at some point a team will take them on it.

After the first half, both teams took off most of their best players and played their academy players, most of whom who hadn’t played at all in the season so I agree, but with the caveat that they didn’t play their best players for the whole match so it wasn’t so bad.

love you too Zealand ❤

The extended delays with VAR has more to do with the injuries.

If they had marketed this more like an exhibition over a real friendly, thrn the team has a week holiday together in Aus as team bonding, then I see less of an issue. But they clearly need those pennies.

Mustache power! ⭐️

Not to forget also that most European and South American players on these teams will then have to go to their national teams for Euros and Copa America this summer...

Whilst it is stupid to play after season freindlies, the big problem with game congestion is about time inbetween games being less than 3 days. Playing more and giving your players less time off doesn't help, but the calender getting too full is kinda a seperate issue

West ham are playing bournemouth and wolves in post season frendlies i think theyre in the us as well

Every time national football week comes in FM I'd get so pissed, I spent weeks trying to get my players fit not exhausted resting them in games and training only for national football to fuck them up. I also don't organise/accept friendlies in FM.

Xavi out at Barca. I'm dying with laughter

The players and managers might care about fixture congestion, but the higher ups at the club certainly don't.

Wow, Tom Bogerts youtube channel is really taking off.

The weird part about getting rid of replays is that lower league teams literally play MORE games than Premier league teams, yet they still want FA cup replays

Milan vs Roma in Perth as well

Curious about your take on this. 55k sellout in Vancouver for the Miami game, just for their top players to not even make the trip. Should players rest at home vs road games?

I get your point but three things, I've not heard Howe complain about fixture congestion, it is after the season (FA cup replays are during, but shouldn't have been stopped imo) lastly look at the teams Newcastle made 13 subs I think. The players left England immediately after the Sunday matches. The two teams are both trying to increase global awareness beyond Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal. It's difficult because of the media bias towards this teams but hey ho. Btw respect for the Imps shirt the other day. Get a Gateshead one 😆

FFP is forcing clubs to squeeze as money out of their team as possible, in order to be able to improve their squads. There were multiple players on Newcastle and Howe stating that it was far from ideal to play these friendly matches. I'm sure most at the top floor at St. James' Park acknowledges that too, but how do you catch up with clubs doing their outmost to pull the rug up from under them in any other way then do everything possible to maximize income counting towards FFP/PSR?

Especially since these kind of friendlies are about trying to build an international fanbase to increase the revenue they get from shirt sponsorship deals.

I was watching FM on you tube, the other week and I'm sure somebody played a friendly between the last match of the league and the champions league final because there was a 2 week period of playing no matches, there is international football coming up in Germany in 3 weeks and there is international friendlies before the tournament. That friendly might benefit the players if they have been picked for Euro 24.

2x a day in MLB is only on a double header and usually the same players ain't playing both games in full (some only even play in 1), as for the NBA, I think it's max 4x a week if even that. However unlike football, our sports do have a lot of stoppage, giving players many rest times throughout the game.

I imagine that if Arjen Robben would've played in these heavy schedules, he would've retired at 25

Why - because these clubs are trying to grow their fanbase globally, and Australia has a potentially large supporter base. Plus, in Australia we don't get big matches on a weekly basis.

My biggest problem of the match is that there are two teams playing with low intensity wanting to avoid injuries - yawn. The match was a borefest Newcastle staying behind to play against the A-League all stars. Ideally Tottenham should be playing the A-League All Star (or both sides) and this fixture be cancelled. considering Ange background in the league and he was the inaugural coach of the A-league all star team (he coached them against David Moyes’ Man Utd) there would be symbolism of home town hero returning. Also the match will be more entertaining, the gap in quality of A-League players is made up by the fact that the A-League players are determined to win and would play with intensity because they would want a Premier league scalp. In 2022 Barcelona came on post season to play ALeague all star and it was an entertaining match. A-league took the lead and went 2-1 because the players wanted to achieve a significant scalp of beating a massive team. this forces Barcelona to lift their effort and put in intensity to avoid humiliation and they came back to win 3-2. It showed the benefit that having one side who is determined to win even if the players are significantly inferior is better than having two EPL side going through the motions trying to avoid injuries.
