We obviously can't say 'fuck off' to UEFA, unfortunately as much as I've personally found it somewhat under whelming, we need the Champions League more than it needs us. Obviously we don't need it for the money, we've got loads of that, but we need it to attract the right players and for the prestige.
So somehow we've got to work out an acceptable solution to this mess and that's probably going to mean accepting something that we all believe is unjust, biting our tongue, and moving on. The big problem we seem to have is lack of support for our cause. We have no allies, PSG appear to think they can rely on Platini to sort them out and the 'big boys' all want to see us hammered. Our own media, with the exception of Martin Samuel, is backing the opposition preferring to report the UEFA propaganda rather than actually act like real journalists and investigate the regulations fully.
If I'm honest, I'm pissed off like I can't begin to describe, albeit not surprised. Let's hope this serves as motivation to to the players tomorrow night and not the opposite.
