Any thoughts? It doesn’t look a money spinner to me.

You won't Josie and neither will I but it is frustrating.josie andrews wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 4:01 pm Don’t like it don’t agree with it!
I can see me packing in with RL the mess they are making of it. Why keep changing things to suit somebody’s ideas who know nothing about the game
I think you are right Mike, IMG won’t be around long if SL clubs continue to veto proposals. Whilst I don’t agree with the CC idea we need to give their ideas a go. I wonder what the players think.Mike wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 5:40 pm Adds more games I suppose, but now we've started cherry picking and rejected dropping the extra league fixtures this proposal makes no sense. This is why you have to go with an overall strategic plan, where perhaps some parts are compromises, but the whole is an improvement. You can't pick the bits you like otherwise the whole plan is a waste of time. I think IMG will withdraw shortly due to this.
Not sure about the group games. Its not what we've had before, but the CC is a bit like a 3 match competition for SL teams. You can get to the semis without playing anyone good these days, so the competition isn't really about SL teams, its more about lower leagues getting some income by drawing a SL side before getting knocked out. I think the playing field was slightly more level a few decades ago when the Div 1 teams came in earlier, but maybe not. It definitely an easier comp to win than it used to be for the top teams and some of the magic has gone for me. So perhaps it is time for a change? Personally I'm not sure, but the suggestion of groups doesn't particularly make me angry.
IMG haven't offered a single proposal that's new all that's happening is we are going back to licensing and they seem hell bent on getting rid of the magic weekend a banker to bring 65 k to the ground,all the fluff and nonsense over the grading is just that fluff and nonsense we all know who spends money and who doesn't I feel they should be offering insights into the social media side of things for sure and yes offer opinions on the structure but no way should they be given the keys to the kingdomCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 12:02 pmI think you are right Mike, IMG won’t be around long if SL clubs continue to veto proposals.

If all you wanted was a social media intern then you're not setting your sights very high are you. What new idea did you expect? If you can't think of the new idea its likely it doeant exist. What we need is a solid, consist schedule with the right balance of show piece events, broadcasting, the right number of games, player development and an established pathway for new investment to being in new sides. Nothing is going to change things overnight with one great idea that no one has thought of, that's unrealistic.fozzieskem wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 7:30 pmIMG haven't offered a single proposal that's new all that's happening is we are going back to licensing and they seem hell bent on getting rid of the magic weekend a banker to bring 65 k to the ground,all the fluff and nonsense over the grading is just that fluff and nonsense we all know who spends money and who doesn't I feel they should be offering insights into the social media side of things for sure and yes offer opinions on the structure but no way should they be given the keys to the kingdomCharriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 12:02 pmI think you are right Mike, IMG won’t be around long if SL clubs continue to veto proposals.
