Repercussions - From the PL, FA, UEFA and within the Club

[The perfect fumble]

What we're seeing is typical of how protests get hijacked.

Everyone is united in what they don't want, the ESL, so bye bye ESL.

Now every talking head with a dog in the race, the 14, UEFA, Sky, Johnson, Starmer and Uncle Tom Cobley are telling fans what the solution is.

It's no coincidence that Arsenal and rag fans are waving shitty placards calling for their owners to fuck off and City, Dippers, Chavs and Spuds ain't.

I don't see any enthusiasm, even from the Glazer and Kroenke out crowd, for the German ownership model.

We'll end up with some botched shit that politicians think will be in their best interest, while being told it's in ours.

Main points of the article - via [@Pierre\_B\_y](https://twitter.com/Pierre_B_y)

* Putin asked Abrahamovitch to withdraw from ESL. Because of Gazprom links with UCL, because 2022 final is in Saint Petersburg, and because Zenit needs to be in the best competition.
* JP Morgan was a middle man, the money actually came from Saudi Arabia
* UAE asked ManCity to withdraw because they try to build a progressist image of their country and don't want to be associated with Saudi Arabia
* 50 millions has already been spent in marketing and legal fees by the 12 breakaway clubs
* Florentino Perez construction company signed a 6.5 billion euros deal in Saudi Arabia, to built the new Saudi "Las Vegas"

Murkier and murkier. I remember the days of coats on the floor for goalposts and the only skulduggery was trying to make the opposition's coats smaller so it wouldn't be "Hit the post" but a goal.

 

[City Man]

how does this moron keep his job? He can’t commentate- he just witters on about things & records of years ago. Must take a full portfolio of notes to each match (probably researched by some lackey) reads it out and thinks he’s interesting. He can’t hide his bias to certain clubs & generally gets on everyone’s nerves.

He's just said this is an opportunity for Everton to assert themselves against one of the six. The guy is completely incapable of distinguishing between players and owners. I'm now hoping Arsenal just to upset him.

Fine them heavily and share it out between the other 86 clubs to help with covid losses

But, but.........think of the 14!

It's all about him and not the game.

yep. He thinks he’s interesting & an intelligent addition to the world of football. Drives me mad - he doesn’t speak in full sentences, says five words, pauses, 3 more words pauses & so on. Have to turn the sound off

The German ownership model?

It’s a joke as well as a myth.

Why are Leverkusen called Bayer? Because they are owned totally by the Bayer Chemical company.

Why are RB Leipzig called RB? Because they are owned lock stock and barrel by Red Bull. Their ‘members’ (all 20 of them) are Red Bull employees.

Then there is Wolfsburg owned pretty well owned by Volkswagen.

Well I will be watching and listening to the old senile twat when he does the rags and dippers. I will be amazed if he says it.

of course he won't , he's a hypocritical old **** who just needs to fuck off .

The imaginary bar was always the argument in our games.

Ha ha yes. "Goal!!!" "Was it fuck it was miles over!!" A huge argument then as the tallest lad stretched to show why it was a goal and not over......and they think var is bad!

 

[brazilians hurt]

Gary Neville, milking this shit for all he's worth. The self proclaimed defender of the game accusing the 6, in no particular order, of the following "criminal acts"...

Murder
Killing
Assault

But thats enough about the scousers..

And don’t forget spitting in little girls faces ! Oh no that was the other caped crusader, the saviours of football Ratman & Gobbin
