The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

[HolisticJim]

If this all crumbles now the government should still look into rules and reg for the English game to ensure that nothing like this can ever happen again.

I don't give a shit about the 3 red clubs and actually think if those 12 selfish clubs play in a separate competition then the rest of football might actually start getting a fair deal.

Real Madrid are screwed. The debt and everything Perez going down like Palpatine

Occam's razor suggests to me that we were given very little time to decide, and figured we'd say yes, say very little, gauge the reaction, and then make a real decision. Awful position to be in but if I'm right the way we played it was really the only option. We could have said "no" but if this thing actually got off the ground we'd be shut out for good. Management are stewards of all three constituencies (fans, employees, investors).

perhaps Hanlon's Razor is more appropriate - Never ascribe to conspiracy that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

I wonder if the ESL was the intense conversation between Pep and Tuchel last Saturday

Soriano currently crying his eyes out

Its going to be even worse for us if we don't have some sort of agreement with UEFA. Surely they have made concessions to us that have satisfied what we want.

Imagine if Khaldoon ends up with a seat at UEFA after all this. I don’t know if it’s fanciful thinking but we could have got them all kicked out and then taken a position of power ourselves. I’m probably getting carried away and we simply made a monumental cock up, but who knows.

Irrespective of what happens, I’m genuinely bewildered by how out of touch all of the involved owners are with both their support base and employees.

Depends on the real intention. From the wording used - we hadn’t actually joined??
I think our owners are very much in touch & they always wanted revenge re the FFP CAS situation when PEL clubs wrote a letter to UEFA condemning us & UEFA tried to shaft us.

In all seriousness, there probably does need to be some form of punitive measures for all 6. It should not be regarded as finished, as it will just happen next year, or earlier otherwise.

I don’t disagree!

I think we’ve brought the sport into disrepute and we should be punished.

Has Cool hand Khaldoon just played the greatest hand ever ?

maybe he pulled a massive one here

 

[NMB]

this is like me saying I don't want to participate in a threesome with Charlize

If this is true, it could be the greatest feat of cunningly cunning machiavelian cunningness ever perpetrated.

Ceferin now owes Khaldoon and Abramovic big time. It’s a new European order
