RadioactiveWaste Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Apparently Wolves are bringing a proposal to scrap VAR. Be interesting to see if Forest vote for it. I'd 100% bin VAR, but I'm resigned to never being rid of it and only hoping for it to become less bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sweden the fans have rejected VAR "Sweden has become the first country to refuse to use Video Assistant Referees (VAR) following widespread opposition from clubs and fans. The climbdown reflects Swedish clubs being at least 51 percent owned by fans, a large proportion of whom have been vehemently opposed to the technology" https://www.insideworldsoccer.com/2024/04/sweden-refuses-to-use-var-amid-widespread-club-and-fan-pressure.html#:~:text=Sweden has become the first country to refuse,whom have been vehemently opposed to the technology.

littleover ram Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 So without the points deduction would have finished on 36 points and still in 17th. Will be harder next season with Leicester and one of Leeds/Southampton coming up. 27 points would have been enough to stay up this year, which is pathetic RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The 3 promoted teams have gone out with a whimper. Luton to their credit were never expected to put up much of a fight, but Burnley and Sheffield United have been appalling. You’d expect Leicester and Leeds to be far better equipped. As for Forest, it depends on what their summer is like and how much wiggle room they have. Brentford could struggle next season if Toney leaves, or Thomas Frank. Wolves and Fulham both have looked poor for the last 1/4 of the season too, not sure if that is down to injuries, players on the beach or what. There are teams for Forest to reel in but next season could be the one where their luck runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alram Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Leicester will have a points deduction & will have to sell to avoid another one for two in one season. Ipswich will probably try to survive on momentum which could work but hasn’t been successful in recent years. I think Southampton are the best equipped to give it a go. I wouldnt be surprised if the 3 up go down again, I think the gap is getting bigger every year. I agree above I think Forest and Brentford could struggle, when you look at their recruitment they seem incapable of improving on their current squad which is the same one that was in the championship Edited May 19 by alram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The relegated 3 have the worst accumulated points record in history. Also they’ve conceded the most amount of goals. If you actually look at the PL table, you see the 8 biggest clubs in the top 8 on 60+ points. Then you have West Ham in 9th, and Everton would have been around there if not for the points deduction. There is then a batch of similar size clubs in Wolves, Palace, Brighton, Fulham, Bournemouth and Brentford. Clubs who were all Championship or below 10-15 years ago who have done well to cash in on the PL riches and stay there. They are the 40-50 point group. Forest will look to break into this group. But then again so will Leicester and Leeds - both look pretty capable. It will be interesting to see a league table without results against the bottom 3. Forest for instance picked up 12 points from the 6 games against the bottom 3. They only picked up 24 points from the other 32 games. Pathetic.

Red_Dawn Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I think Luton did better than expected, but even they were pretty abject overall. They could make a fight of it in most games, but the lack of quality and quantity in their squad really was obvious in their ability to blow leads and drop points. Look at the game against BMouth, absolutely criminal. In all honesty, those two last minute draws against us really kept them afloat. Lose those (and without the points deduction) and we're 16 points clear of them. Burnley's home form was dreadful, and Sheff Utd have to be one of the worst teams to ever grace the PL. Even worse than their last outing. I see more of the same next season. As others have commented, the gap is widening, and those teams that already have established in the PL--which whether you like it or not, we've become--have a huge head start. Next season it'll be the bottom three plus us, Wolves, Fulham, Brentford, and probably BMouth. Palace look fantastic, why didn't we go for Glasner again?
