United and Liverpool EFL project - proposal rejected

[bobbyowenquiff]

Even by the dismally low standards of Conn-man this is a steaming pile of shite. Apparently, Henry deeply cares about the EFL & the split in English football.

How Project Big Picture changed the politics of football in one swoop | David Conn

Liverpool’s and Manchester United’s plan has been roundly condemned by the Premier League, but leaves the English game in uncharted territory

www.theguardian.com

It’s interesting that the Guardian very rarely enables comments on his ramblings.

Now we know who Conn was being briefed by when he produced his hatchet jobs on City during the FFP probe. He can't seriously think Henry is genuine. Just look at his antics at the Boston Red Sox ffs.
Why would Conn support a man who is known to have made derogatory comments about our "Arab owners."

Red Cafe almost to a man hating the proposals, this creature from the pack getting rounded on by all and sundry.

Nonsense, United worked hard to be popular and famous, the fans watching the games and pouring billions into the leagues is because of united. Nobody cares about Leiciester or Westham outside England. Give everyone what their fans pay. I dont want to give my money to fecking Brighton.

Because Conn has proved himself to be a **** , and will undoubtedly have been paid to fall in line with the scrawny necked twat .

Conn on past form can no longer be trusted to be considered as a serious or impartial journalist and is simply a shill.

This is why the top 6 are pushing for it for an executive to say that. when Leicester winning was amazing for the game i cant beleive it.

Agree that it’s not a good look and I doubt it would’ve been one of our lot that said it, but let’s not forget that Leicester were one of the clubs who tried to fuck us over with that letter to CAS, which is laughably hypocritical as they blatantly breached Championship FFP rules by creating a sponsor which was effectively a shell company so their owner could funnel money into the club.

I hate to generalise, but if we've learnt anything about fans of Liverpool, United and Arsenal over the last few decades it's that they like to imagine their success is "organic" and "fair".

Someone said that RAWK were all over this, but I mostly saw fans trying to process the fact that the club doesn't actually have the greater good in its heart.

It's fans were very pleased with it at first, until the headlines were coming out they were generally saying its always been up to teams like utd /lfc to carry the PL,and that this was a good move.

If they can't get the sufficient votes do City really need to come off the fence. Something about the FA "golden share" and they are against it as well. I am more confident that this will be thrown out. If we did want to get our own back on the scum and scouse scum I suppose voting against it would be the thing to do.

Would leaking it in the first place and putting them both firmly in the crosshairs not be enough ;)

Because he's a) a turncoat b) a hypocrite c) a paid shill & d) a ****.

Bruce Buck, chairman of Chelsea, reported to have been part of the secret dicussions. Maybe at loggerheads with Abramovich?
Arsenal, I guess, will vote yes. City are inclined to vote yes, reluctantly.

Chelsea allegedly left the meeting on Thursday stating that they weren't happy with (some of?) the proposals.

I wouldn't be so keen to 2nd guess Arsenal let alone us. Strange how some fans are happy to think the worst of the club before they've commented on it.
