Good lord, man. Don't say a black man has strength and power. Apparently that's racist too!

Regi Blinker was a lazy sod.

People can be lazy no matter what race they are. The two things aren't connected.

Ffs

Playing the favourites. 5-0 down at half time. They take their foot off the gas and you lose 5-1. Get 2 points. Hold them to a creditable 1-1 draw, with both goals in the same half. Get 0 points.

For a start and also for a finish. It's not hugely relevant tbh. I very much doubt JP Morgan etc are particularly eager to try and advertise their massive new enterprise through the lens of Wegie sectarianism.

Literally the only Christian nation in Asia. And I wouldn't bet on them to pick their football club based on sectarianism tbh.

A Catholic nation in the Far East? Such as?

In the Anglosphere maybe. Not many fans of Scottish football in China.

I mean, with five clubs from England alone and at least three from Spain definitely involved, there is going to be a similar amount from Germany, France and Italy. Where's the room for the likes of Rangers and Celtic?

I wouldn't be so sure. They have certain... issues that large investors wouldn't like their shiny new product associated with. There are easily another 18 clubs in the whole of Europe that are equally as bankable without the baggage.

Correct. Hopefully the real Man Utd and Liverpool fans can start their own clubs and get back in the league that way.

Not the way I would look at it. It's more like half a dozen clubs no longer really existing as part of proper football and the rest of us can all get on with it.

Where would they be 'relegated' to?

Only if we let them stay in the domestic leagues in addition to this new one. The likes of Liverpool and Man Utd ******** off permanently could be the best thing that has happened to English football for 30 years. More competitiveness, rebalancing of finances with more emphasis on matchday income and the real fans instead of TV money and speculative investment from billionaires.
