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

[Prestwich_Blue]

It's clear now, but was it clear 10 days ago?

If it wasn't clear to those highly paid people running our clubs then I'd suggest they have had their heads buried in financial projection spreadsheets (or up their arses) so long that they have lost any concept of reality (if they ever had one) and have no clue about the mentality of football fans.

They urgently need to come down from their ivory towers and talk to us, but more importantly, listen to us. They need to understand life as a match-going fan.

What did Johnson know, and when did he know it?

Boris Johnson urged to reveal if he endorsed Super League plans

PM pressed to explain nature of meeting with Manchester United CEO days before ill-fated launch

Historic merit places have been banded about for time...where was the fan outcry

Very interesting thread. Woodward is a bare faced liar

If Johnson claims he didn't know about it, he probably did.

Very interesting thread. Woodward is a bare faced liar

If that thread is true then whoever has been briefing the press that City only found out 48hours before in order to make us look like we didn't want to join has also been lying.

Good news

Laughing a bit about the term "Rebel clubs" it's like a Star Wars plot.

It couldn't have been that clear or we wouldn't have jumped aboard. Nor would Chelsea if it was as clear as you suggest. We were wrong to jump aboard the train standing in the station, and jump off before the doors shut but they aren't that stupid to jump onto a crashing train.

My view above in leaking it to a journo isn't with the gift of hindsight and I'm certainly no political genius, I would have had this exact same view if I had been provided with this scenario a month ago.

We were complicit or we would have pulled the plug immediately hanging out to dry these clubs that have been trying to harm us for a decade and creating atleast an initial wave of media positivity............

Come forward with a suggestion that everyone hates and is doomed to fail to soften up the ground for the real plan which will come later?
