How is money trickling down from the Championship? Genuine question. I am not sure what the poster is meaning myself. Maybe on the lines of fees and wages at the top end of the Championship are almost PL like. They are playing a level below what they could. And therefore it is having a knock-on effect to our division. On top of that we have Sunderland in our division. Who would have thought that ?. Oh and we are not having any tv money coming down. I am certain of that. The quality of L1 today is nearly on par with that of what the Championship was 10 years ago in terms of quality of players in there.And some of the big clubs in here are pushing better players down the league due to the money pumped in a the top. |

I think what he means is that there are players classed as championship players drop into L1 on loan to get game time and as a result championship clubs are happy for them to go and get some of their wages covered. Players perhaps also prefer a permanent pay cut and drop to play regular football in the hope a decent season sees them get a move back. There are some serious wages and transfer fees being paid in this league now. What a shame that none of the Premiership money comes down to the lower leagues. And when you hear that Ozil isn't happy because he's only on £350k a week, it turns my stomach. |

Watching games from the 60s -70s etc compared to today the standard of footballers has increased and will continue to increase. Evolution, and I don’t mean the WAQ kind. |

"Standard of footballers has increased". Not in the case of BRFC! |

Yes, I can agree with that but it’s not the same as saying the quality has improved, just a sign that owners in League 1 are prepared to “chase the dream” or agents have got even better at getting bog-standard players more wages. I see players in all leagues with a very poor first touch, unable to control a ball, players taking free kicks, corners or crossing who can’t beat the first defender. Yet we are sold the idea that these players are world class. It’s a PL publicity initiative. UTG! |

I should add so that I’m not just saying the past was best that on Saturday in the Bournemouth v Man Utd game I saw Rashford show two pieces of incredible skill. Big boot out from de Gea and Rashford took it out of the air with one touch, turn and leave the defender on his backside. Now that was brilliant and I noticed it because it was so unusual.
UTG!

I assume all the foreign players in the Premiership and Championship must be forcing the home nations players down the football league pyramid to clubs like ours. Just look at our centre forward and goalie, when did we last have players of this quality at Rovers? |

I assume all the foreign players in the Premiership and Championship must be forcing the home nations players down the football league pyramid to clubs like ours. Just look at our centre forward and goalie, when did we last have players of this quality at Rovers? Yes I think you’re right about home grown being forced down the pyramid so that players who may have played higher are now playing in the lower leagues. I’m just not convinced that the quality has improved that much. Obviously some players are better I’m just not convinced that the overall standard is better. Some aspects clearly are, tactical awareness, fitness perhaps but not sure about individual skill, passing or shooting. I know I’m probably different from other opinions on this. Our CF and keeper are very good now. But imo I can think of a few keepers who were better for us. Nigel Martin, Jim Eadie, Martyn Thomas are a few. Regarding JCH, well he’s never really excelled anywhere else before us so perhaps he just suits us and GC and we suit him. Different players of course but Barry Hayles, Marcus Stewart, Jamie Cureton, Jason Roberts just off the top of my head were better than JCH. And those players did it over a longer time period. Both Jak and JCH have started very well and if they are performing as well in a years or eighteen months time then I may have to change my mind. Something I would be happy to do knowing what it might mean.🙂 UTG! |
