A thought
why don’t City and Chelsea, together, tell UEFA to fuck off. Tell them they’re not playing in the showpiece event and they can invite the hot tempered losers in our place.
After all, both clubs were first to announce their intention to jettison the ill fated ESL for the sake of ‘their fans’..
Arrange a ‘friendly‘ at Villa Park on 29th May and allow 20,000 fans each. Winner is the unofficial Champions of Europe.
Maybe they’d lose out in sponsorship money or they could be creative and sell the game to Amazon and sponsor it themselves. Fuck UEFA, they haven’t changed and never will.
