Money?

I was looking for we are the best club in England.

It would be wonderful if they let Pep announce it at the presser a little later

In-cred-ible

There’s plenty of football outside of this weird alliance. Let’s get out and never play the rags or scousers again. I’d be fine with that

I would pay good money to help it along, lets start a go fund me to make up the missing $ LOL

I hope you're right, you say definite are you positively definite mate or just a bit definitely positive?

City have definitely held emergency meetings. Wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea had too though tbf.

Here's why I'm not convinced it's us:

I don't think our owners are so out of touch that they wouldn't have been fully aware of the vitriol and anger this would create. They surely knew we would all hate it.

I find it easier to believe that FSG with their "I don't understand why English football even has more than one league" (or whatever they said) would be the ones not realising fans would hate this.

This all depends on what we were told. We may have joined had had the rug ripped from under us.

It tallies up with what I've been told about Zoom meetings at the club last night and this morning.

good man Ric. And may I just say your behaviour on this board in this last year is much improved. Not gone unnoticed by the senior posters.

It would be a disgrace if they had not, the future of the club is in the air

 

[SanPellegrini]

Got to be us, surely!?

Good news and hopefully true.

Though I don’t see how United or Liverpool could have misled us or any other founder club. I said this earlier, but the statements from each club were identical, and that indicates to me that a pre-contract has been signed. I don’t see how we would have done that without considerable legal and commercial review.

Putting that to one side, the club has published a Glazer quote on its site, and put its name on a stern letter to UEFA et al. Even if we now back out, I don’t think that can be forgiven by the fans, but we can probably learn to ignore it with time

 

[hgblue]

Purely from a selfish PR aspect, I'd want us to be going alone on it.

Doing it with Chelsea just changes the narrative from taking a stand to bottling it.

There's an open goal awaiting either of us, simply because the other English teams signed up to it are needing it to stay afloat.

Have you thought this through?
