I know, but I'll bet that Levy is working on capitalising on WSL in future seasons.

If the PL clubs go in heavy on women's football they could probably get a decent following. Now that Real Madrid have started their own team as well it's probably moving towards being the same clubs as in the men's Champions league. Levy will want to be ahead of the rest.

They can use the stadium every now and then, but other than that the NFL can fuck off.

You do realise we already built two NFL locker rooms with their own entrance on the east side (that American football players have said are better than the ones in the States), and a sliding pitch that has a NFL pitch ready to use underneath. The NFL won't affect the football at all, and will ensure that we get stadium related income every week instead of every other week, plus much, much bigger sponsorship deals. Cannot believe you would turn your nose up at doubling our revenue streams?

I don't care how we make the extra money, as long as it doesn't interfere with the football. We'll see how that pans out in regards to the NFL.

The whole point is that the build has delivered a stadium that would not impact on the football side of things. Different changing rooms, different pitches, different entrances. They can even have two games on the same day (police / council approval permitting).

I'd imagine it would be 8 Sundays in the first half of the season at most if it did happen.

Not that I think NFL in London will actually happen, or if it does then not for many many years down the line.

Has anyone heard the rumour surrounding the long term plan for ENIC selling the club to the Robert Kraft empire? It would make perfect sense of The Cheese Room at the new stadium. :sneaky:

Just saying...

You can keep making incorrect comments, it won’t make any of them, original included, any less incorrect.

Llorente was hardly a resounding success, nor was he an unmitigated failure, he was sometimes good, sometimes poor, usually in between. Had he been used either more regularly or correctly we’d have probably seen more good than we did, but to reduce his two years with us to just two good matches is very harsh. As I remember it, no Llorente and we don’t even get out of the group stage last season.

It took us a lot longer that it should have to start playing to Llorentes strengths too - he often came on and we didn’t change our approach play at all which just made the whole exercise pointless
