Harry is complaining about fixture pileup already...wtf
-
He was complaining about there being an international friendly right before the start of the premier league.
Everyone is going to loose half of their squad the week before the season kicks off.
That, I'm sure you will agree, is a pretty stupid idea, and it wasn't about a fixture pile up at all.
We only deal in facts on this forum.

"We're gonna win the league, we're gonna win the league...and now you're gonna believe us, now you're believe us..."

1 full size away kit + 1 full size home kit + two tiny away kits + two tiny home kits = bankruptcy.

Blinkered much? he was complaining about that and his own clubs fixtures, he's right about the international game... but it's not just that
[INDENT]“If you look at our schedule, we had a game tonight, then we play Benfica on Tuesday, Fiorentina on Saturday, then the international game in midweek, then Man City on Saturday, then a Champions League qualifier on the Tuesday/Wednesday, then Stoke away, then a Champions League qualifier, then Wigan…..I mean it’s crazy.
Every Saturday/ Wednesday and we pile more games in. The last thing we need is to be playing more games, we need to train. To many games have been scheduled.”
“Can someone tell me why you have an international week the week before the start of the season?
They’ve all been away at the World Cup together, now they have to meet up for a meaningless friendly the week before the start of the season.
I wont see those players from Saturday night until Friday before we play Man City.”

Hodgson must have read my post :)
I think 100% we should go for him. Sorry Hammers fans -
just looking at this on bbc - homegrown players "rules": http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8858634.stm
one of which says
Home-grown players do not have to be English; home-grown players are defined as those who "irrespective of nationality or age, have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to 21st birthday"
which seems to me just to encourage poaching youngsters from abroad? Like cesc?
Edit: From the grauniad, "It ought to be pointed out, though, that of the 300 scholars currently at Premier League academies (the 16-18 age group) 245 are English."

It's to "promote youth development"
the club can have 25 squad players 8 or which are home-grown/english and any number of under 21 year olds
I think it realistically affects brum, maybe the mackems and 2 other mid to low table clubs

The Telegraph see it differently. Libpool into admin?
Clock ticking,
"Should Huang’s bid be rejected by the bank and no offer at the level Hicks and Gillett hope be forthcoming, Liverpool’s loan could become distressed debt, raising the spectre of the club being put into administration..."
The first real offer (direct to the bank) to take over the club that has effectively been insolvent and in administration for a year...Telegraph article follows...
Liverpool co-owners set to be ousted by Chinese billionaire Kenneth Huang
Kenneth Huang, a Chinese billionaire, has made a direct offer to the Royal Bank of Scotland to buy Liverpool’s £237 million debt and oust the club’s current owners, George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
In an effort to delay RBS accepting the offer, Gillett has presented Syrian businessman Yahya Kirdi as a viable bidder for Liverpool.
Gillett informed RBS last week that he was in advanced negotiations with Kirdi, a former Syria international footballer, after Huang entered into talks with the bank over a deal that would see the American and his partner, Tom Hicks, exit Anfield without any profit.
Huang a Wall Street stockbroker and chairman of the Hong Kong-based QSL Sports group, is backed by one of the wealthiest investment funds in the Far East. It is believed he has already approached a number of senior figures at the club to prove his determination to force Hicks and Gillett out, while he will also ask Fernando Torres, due to return to training today, to delay a decision on his future.
Huang’s bid will have the financial clout to provide the Spaniard with the squad reinforcements he has made plain he wishes to see if he is to stay on Merseyside and will clear the club of debt, but that proposal is unattractive to Hicks and Gillett.
By approaching RBS directly, Huang hopes to seize control of the club by guaranteeing the repayment of the vast majority of the debt the Americans have laden on to Anfield. His offer, though, will fall far short of the £600 million price Hicks and Gillett expect for their shareholding in the club.
**As a condition of the refinancing deal put in place this year — which coincided with the appointment of Martin Broughton as Liverpool’s chairman — RBS can take control of the sale and negotiate a deal should they feel such action represents the best course to repay their loan and secure the sale of the club. **
Gillett, though, had hoped to delay the process by introducing Kirdi as a possible alternative, to force Huang — who hopes to conclude the deal in the coming days to ensure manager Roy Hodgson has the chance to strengthen his squad this month — to make an improved offer.
RBS, who are obliged to listen to any bids raised by the club’s owners, have granted him time to discuss a deal with the Syrian, though sources at Liverpool have dismissed the idea that the businessman is a legitimate contender to buy the club and he is not expected to lodge a firm bid.
