APB FOR JAI JOHN!!
AMBER ALERT!!
Villareal get relegated yesterday... that is pressure... dem never finish lower than 7th or 8th de last decade.
Real sad day ...more than a relegation but rather a statement to illustrate that money is now controlling football ..... every team succeeding today has to spend hundreds of millions to attract the best players ...and those with lots of it ...buy players and farm them out so other competitors cant get them. So its like I dont really need him but you cant have him either !
Villareal lost the prize because they are forced into the wrong model ...they really did not have an option but to sell their best players . You cant do that and survive any decent league but what choice did they have ? If they buy big players they have to increase the wage bill ...they have a tiny stadium and will never attract large crowds at home because they simply cannot accommodate them.
So the world's biggest small side that shared second round points with barcelona and Real madrid now have a big task at hand ...how to keep their players who would obviously want first team football. If they could play with this team they would be back up next season ...just like Manchester united some years ago ....but I really cant see Rossi, Nilmar etc playing second tier football and expecting to play for their country . So it looks like the end of a good run finally unless FIFA goes the basketball and soccer salary cap way that the Us has put in to avoid just what has happened here .
I wonder who can really celebrate when a team like Villareal which plays the football that we the afficionados love, gets relegated with little hope to rise again soon ?
Can Villareal build from their youth team .? ..with a good coach they can ...can they keep their best players ...not even the best coach can help them there ...and no Arab is going to buy a club from a small town and with a small stadium ...unless he wants to take up the challenge ...when you have money to blow you own 10 cqrs ...who can understand the ways of the rich and famous ...not I . Calling Sheik al Thani ....S.O.S
