I didn’t see the match but a friend who is a Villa fan did. When we started talking about recent events he basically said -

“I wish your lot would just fuck off to a Super League. You’re playing the game at a level we’ve never seen before and we cannot dream to match. It was embarrassing, it was men against boys.”

Hadn’t thought about it like that before.
He got off lightly. We'd have looked twice as good in a proper shirt.
 
Queen Victoria was on the throne...
What’s that got to do with owt? If a Villa fan is moaning about City being too good, he’s forgetting about a time in history when his team was that much better than everyone else. In football, this happens from time-to-time. In a couple of decades, there’ll be a new different club up the top smashing the rest of the league.

The Machester Oilers?
 


Whiff of desperation. They’re really going to push for this.

The fact one of their most important managers ever and the protege of potentially the most important person in their club history absolutely shit on the super league 48 hours before this statement, really shows how far into the mud they have been dragged into the past 6 years.

It's actually kind of sad in a way.
 
That’s not how it works.

JP Morgan agrees to secure funding for the SL. They will not be providing funding from their own coffers, instead they act as an advisor. They provide marketing and lending expertise, securitization advisory (loans vs bonds vs stocks etc) as well as a large contact list of institutional lenders like insurance companies, asset managers and hedge funds that would be potentially interested in buying the securities marketed by JP Morgan.

Since the project fell apart, there will be no funds since nobody is interested in lending money to de-facto bankrupt clubs.

Though I do not speak for JP Morgan, I work there, though not on this project nor did I know about it. On Monday I let my boss know I will be leaving before the end of the year.
Excellent post - informed, intelligent insight.

You’re wasted here
