Learning from the best
hat a week. Hectic? Yes it was despite the lockdown occasioned by the Corona virus pandemic. Fortunately, my job as a journalist permits my movement to work and back home. Mention must be made of the security operatives who have been very polite.
I also knew that the critics’ knives would be drawn. But that wasn’t the reason for writing the column. It was to remind our league organisers, not to insult our sensibilities with such fantasies as watching the domestic league on telephone, despite all the debates surrounding the return of the English game, which bother on the losses clubs would incur from television rights on English Premier League games, if the season ends abruptly.
This movement of people towards the clubs fill their stadia and in turn become huge revenues bases for them to buy players of their choices. It is true that the French have cancelled their league seasons. But the English game is driven by weighty sponsorship packages signed over the years, with the sponsors to make demands on infringements on their contracts with the EPL.
They need to study the daily reports from our leagues troubled by the Corona virus pandemic to know how to re-direct their plans to be in sync with others. Besides, references are made to what others have said by way of comparison. Why not? You copy ideas which you cherish instead of celebrating mediocrity like we do here. Sadly so.
It is always saddening watching the domestic league matches with the inner circumference panels empty unlike in the European leagues where such platforms are used for different things with sponsors enjoying quality time as their products and services are advertised.
