  1. Apart from being the permanent home of the Fort Lauderdale CF, it isn't a temporary stadium, it is a temprorary home for Inter Miami and will then continue to the be home for Fort Lauderdale. The new stadium which has replaced the Lockhart ground is now the fulltime home for Fort Lauderdale CF. The plans for the area include the training and Youth Academy facilities for Inter Miami and Fort Lauderdale CF, so not even potential youth programs, actual youth programs that are definitely happening. How is this fraud? Fair enough he claim something which is incorrect, but Inter Miami have knocked down a 60 year old stadium and built a brand new, fit for purpose one. Fair that sounds weird and unfair, but I don't really know what people were expecting. The lawsuits were, typically, from the competing bidders who claimed due process was not followed and were not treated fairly. I would assume that most bidders would have felt this way, and ultimately the municipality decided that the Inter Miami bid was favorable, which is how due process works, even if you don't like it. In terms of the shady goings on, the Inter Miami deal looks like it was carried out quickly, which I grant you does look unusual, but it followed Florida law and statute in terms of being given at least the minimum time frames set our by Florida law. Not saying MLS changed their mind, but maybe they chose the path of least resistance to get what they wanted, realising that there was not an easy path to get a full on Miami approach they wanted. Businesses and organisations change their plans all the time to accomodate what is actually acheivable vs what they actually desire and is a pipe dream. I will not comment on the crooked council, as that is part of the democracy of the area, and is a whole can of something else. @damsher hatfield has already covered the Hard Rock Stadium angle a lot, but also, how do you know it was not even considered? Were you party to all the conversations and dealings had between Inter Miami and the Miami Dolphin organisation? Pure conjecture.
  2. He said arguably The legacy of this?: Given that the whole area is becoming the training and academy and Inter Miami are covering the costs of all the upkeepp and upgrade of the area, and is going to basically be used for everything BUT the actual stadium for Inter Miami's games, I would say Ft Lauderdale have done okay out of this and your dribble about this "Historic" stadium is just that... dribble.
  3. Chiesa has been a real let down for Fiorentina this season, if you ignore the fact he is decent on FM20 then it makes no sense to sign him

  10. Star Player, Right back.... I have fulfilled my dream of childhood dream of being Gary Neville!
  11. The fundamental thing is they will be going back to the more "normal" structure of games on saturdays and things like that and legally you can't show any live football in the UK between 3 and 5 on a Saturday, so it just makes things a massive mess. With the idea of going back to the norm of having all of the leagues p;laying I think they want to go back to the norm for Sky and BT's sake of having their exclusivity, which they paid significant money for, returned to them.
  12. Its arsenal. They make a song and dance about everything. Things which should be straightforward like renewing their players' contracts is played out through the media.
  13. Can't be done as they tore up parts of the old layout
  14. We'd prefer it to be honest.
  15. I felt Lewis' penalty was really harsh! Glad an interesting race was the first one back, not seen so many retirements in a while!
  16. I am okay with not taking the discussion further however I do take exception to his since your glib responses to me felt hostile, if not disrespectful, so I will say, in no uncertain terms, I will be civil when you act more so as well.
  17. I mean what you posted, despite your claims to the contrary, is completely and entirely wrong, I am happy to discuss this at your convenience.
