    How much are they paying the managers?

    Obviously some of them i've never heard of, but surely the likes of John Terry, Luis Figo, Lineker, Shearer or even Maya Jama are not doing this cheaply.
    The only source I can find is Micah Richards saying he is doing it for free.

    I know the players are doing it for £400 but no source on what the managers get.

    I saw the last 5 minutes of a game last night.
    They were doing one v ones, had to shoot from halfway line and the goalies were not allowed to use their hands - WTF !!!

    Saw about 10 mins of this yesterday. Absolute shite. They stopped the game to spin some sort of virtual wheel, and when it landed a game changing rule was introduced - think it was something along the lines of every foul will now result in a sending off.........out of curiosity I looked at the ticket sales and it is about half full for the next couple of weeks and then drops off a cliff and is basically empty.

    I went with my nephews, it was ok but too much breaks in between and quite long actually going. Its a bit hit n miss when watching on YT and sky sports, i didn't mind it but some games got a bit stale and wasn't that exciting, some of the hype was decent enough and the managers involved. 

    I do find it quite interesting when a few ex players were on there, like Sordell who still knew where the goal was, Ciaran Clark who was just solid, a few others flattered to deceive. Worth watching if nothing on the box, it did become a bit stale towards the end. The gamechangers were quite good sometimes, creating a bit of drama or end to end 1 on 1's which could liven up a dull game.

    Probably am but I thought I'll post the last video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvpaMdihAeM) just for documentation purposes.

    It's done now so won't spam up the recent discussions.

    Absolutely despise this shit. This is the sort of thing that pushes me closer and closer to binning Sky Sports off altogether.

    And whilst I'm on a Sky rant -  I only just learned Pompey vs Saints was being televised. One of the biggest EFL derbies going.

    However, it didn't show on the TV guide because its been relegated to the Red Button. All because there is a WSL game taking place at London City Lionesses in a half empty Bromley FC stadium that takes priority.

    The lad from Wealdstone is still at Wealdstone:


     "For the sake of absolute clarity, Wealdstone FC retains his official player registration and any decisions relating to the remainder of this season remain in the gift of the club's Board of Directors,” he added.

    Must admit it isn't fun to watch anymore. Doesn't aid football...just messes about with footballer's careers

    I actually dont have a problem with the concept and as someone in my mid/late 30s sometime you just have to accept the product isnt for you (like parents from bygone eras not understanding rock/rap music, video games, pokemon etc), however I do find this particularly ventue very cringe worthy its the constant need to artificially create a drama to catch attention and the faux reactions to create drama. I really dont think ita a good thing for society either.

    How much do these guys get for playing in the baller league, that makes it worth losing their club contracts over?

    Seen £400 a matchday mentioned in other places. Dover had a game Tuesday away at relegation threatened Enfield which they lost 3-1 which won't have helped.

    I went to this Monday night with my boy who really likes it and knew most of the YouTubers.

    Was surprised how much I enjoyed it, really good value for £14.50 @ ticket and if you take it for what it is then it's great fun. The gamechangers etc really make it and it's a very fast paced evening.
