I’m not going to argue the toss over TH’s info, which he’s obviously posting in good faith, but I’m unsure why UEFA, on behalf of the cartel, would be attempting to make a deal with us barely 2 months after hitting us with what was considered a hefty ban, and which decision they presumably took only after receiving expensive legal advice. What would they have to gain from such negotiations presentationally, given that (egged on by the cartel’s media stooges), the world wants, nay expects, that we should face ‘justice’ at the Council of Arbitration for Sport?
In addition, the timing of UEFA’s announcement regarding the 2024 CL revamp, the qualifying criteria for which seem designed specifically to exclude us, sine die, is also not suggestive of any kind of rapprochement between ourselves and UEFA. If our owners are genuinely feeling supremely confident, then that’s good news, but not something I’m going to set any great store in, given that the cartel have successfully stitched us up on more than one occasion before
