The two footed tackle? 3-0 now.
ShockingQuote:

If It would be great for the Welsh League if TNS get to the Conference League in terms of profile and ranking points, if terrible in terms of competitive balance.
Yes it was a staggeringly bad decision. VAR recommended he review it and the ref stuck with the yellow!Quote:

With that comes around £3m and I think that's before gate receipts, TV money and any additional prize money for getting draws for even wins.
It does start to raise questions about the league though. People are miffed at TNS's dominance as it is.
The league averages about 350 people. I suspect that apart from the odd grant, most clubs annual budget is less than £250,000. This would blow everyone else out the water, especially if they started to achieve it every year.
Hopefully a decent chunk will filter through the league somehow.
They are laws not rules.Quote:

Looks like it could be an historic moment for Welsh domestic football but a shame it isn’t a Caernarfon or similar that are in this position or pretty much any other team in the entire domestic pyramid that also perhaps play in Wales too.
Agree with above, I wish it was another "true" Welsh club but in the short term another European spot from TNS overperforming would mean about £400k for a straight elimination for one of the other clubs.
Also if TNS qualify for the league stage, it'll be clear to all the other clubs how much they will get. If they sign any other club's players they will likely charge a premium knowing they have made big money this season.
TNS will get around 4m euros plus another 400k/175k for any wins/draws. At this stage they'll also be seeded 4th out of 6th too so realistically they should expect a couple of competitive results, plus several match day revenue will be huge for them. These are the projected 1st seeded clubs....
Chelsea
FC København
AA Gent
Fiorentina
Real Betis
Istanbul Basaksehir
Absolutely huge if they make it and they are firmly in the driving seat, here's hoping!
Well they did it.Quote:

Apparently Wrexham have always been pretty against hosting European games for Welsh league clubs, part of why they tend to come to CardiffQuote:
