Pretty much sums it up in my opinion, people should make no mistakes this is an existential threat to the club, it's an attempt to destroy the club and the brand, if they win that's it for the club moving forward and that's why they won't win (crosses fingers and all that because one never knows but the mood music from the club has always been pretty upbeat and we could just be going through the motions )That would only be the start. A permanent stain rubber stamped on the club in the history books, lawsuits in excess of £200m, commercial partners withdrawing support, future players not wanting to damage their own brands, an owner who would not pass the stricter fit and proper persons test.
To be clear, this is a fight between life or footballing purgatory.
Which is why they can't win and we won't lose.
No, it's a stereotype. Post Office, blood, Covid contracts, I could go on. Point being, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.True though.
I was mostly joking with that post hahaNo we wouldn't. Premier League would revoke our license to participate.
It's funny. Before the CAS verdict, I was shitting bricks but everything was rosy. This time I am "supremely confident" so we are probably fucked. Joking.
Thanks as always for the "update".
We tried to get this all to play out behind closed doors to avoid the noise from the media and other clubs, but weren't successful. There's no point busying ourselves with worrying what other people are saying, the best way to answer them is to win this case and then we can release a really punchy statement. I cannot wait for Pep's conference when that result is announced. He is going to unleash an absolute torrent.
I've still no idea why the club isn't putting stuff out to friendlier sources as we seem to accept leaks from the opposition camp without responding. It's completely one way traffic and a free hit for all concerned.
Any early team news out yet?
I just hope this bullishness from Khaldoon and the sounds coming out from the club are real. Hopefully we are holding 4 Aces rather than bluffing with a pair of 7's.
