See that the EPL are at loggerheads with FIFA over the Club World Cup we are set to compete in during the summer of 2025.
I can see the big clubs moving away from UEFA/FIFA and international football at some point I really can.
UEFA and FIFA dont give a toss about players, fans or lower level clubs anyway.
If enough break away the problem will be for the ones left behind.I’m not sure how much longer they’d be big clubs once they’d broken away from FIFA.
Despite the lack of interest on here, international football is still the pinnacle for most pro footballers.
No FIFA. No internationals.
In fact, no FIFA, no football at all against anyone but fellow splitters.
No doesn’t matter at all. City were late to the party and first to leaveI like this version of the events.
However, what does it really mater who withdrew first? Or am i missing something here? Genuine question BTW.
Well they allowed Joel Glazer to post a full page on the clubs official website telling us why and how good the ESL was going to be. Not exactly the smartest decision ever made was it?I'm not sure posters on Bluemoon, without sight of the full facts, are in a position to call our senior executives "amateurish".
Because they are greedy bastards like the rest of them. Soriano saw the £££ signs and couldn’t help himself. The worst decision the club have made since the takeover by a million miles. All down to money.Whilst partly agreeing, I'd turn that round and ask why such erudite and intelligent people would sign up to something and then only become aware that [it] "will kill the leagues, that it won’t allow [sporting] merit, that it was the end of football" after it became public knowledge.
One day the full story of our involvement will come out but my guess is that it won't be the black and white narrative some would like it to be.
If enough break away the problem will be for the ones left behind.
What players want re internationals I think is irrelevant when we are talking big big £ but I take your point.
