The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

[RobinHood]

The wording is interesting.

Chelsea announce they are pulling out

City tell organisers they don’t wish to join, suggesting we never actually joined?

Good point.

 

[MarsLlama]

Typical City is alive and well, out of two major competitions in four days...

 

[pudge]

As good as this is it doesn't mean clubs can get out of giving answers

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

Power to the people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This should stir up UEFA to do something about debt. That would go down well with everybody.

 

[Stato]

Spurs are so fucked.

I just remembered all of the coverage of mouronho being sacked mentioned they could afford to pay £35m for sacking him before they failed to qualify for the CL because of the 300m golden handshake for the super league...

I think they wanted to get rid anyway and just used the whole super League thing to distract from it.

perhaps Hanlon's Razor is more appropriate - Never ascribe to conspiracy that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

Could be. It might just have been a complete misread. But I buy we were the last to be asked and put in a "you have xxx hours to decide" vise.

Sorry but I just do not buy this being a 4D chess manoeuvre from our owners being 50 steps ahead of everyone else.

They panic joined over fear of being left in the dust and then pulled out once they realised the backlash and the whole project not being tenable. Don't go giving them credit for being some genius strategist for a stupid decision they made and backed out on.

 

[SWP's back]

Ashamed but relieved

Similar to how I feel after watching Countdown.

What do you mean resigned from UEFA? I think I've missed something here.
