Taximark Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I don't know how these 6 six owners here can carry on tbh...they have been planning this for a good while, planning to desert the PL and stab their own fans in the back for their own greed, no wonder Ed Woodward has resigned. Be interesting to see what happens at Liverpool because the scoucers are a very close nit set of people and any attack on them and they stick together like glue.

This is the second time in 12 months they have tried to leverage the COVID situation to try and pull something like this. Do they have a third attempt in them? Hopefully not.

Also 100 + years of English Footballing Heritage would have vanished at a stroke and replaced with the the US Sporting Model of Closed Shops and Franchises just like the NFL , MLB , NBA etc had the ESL succeeded.

latemodelchild Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The cynic on me is waiting to see how these 12 clubs will be rewarded by uefa and fifa for not going ahead with this. They should be punished, they'll get a free pass into Europe for the next 20 seasons to say thankyou I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 46 minutes ago, Maddogbob said: I think the only way it could be done, would be to make It law that when a club changes hands, 51% of the club has to be gifted to the fans. As part of the purchase. 5 year limit on that (gives owners time to sell) after that 5 year limit 51% of shares have to be transferred to fans if the club hasn't changed hands. Doesn't make purchasing clubs a very attractive proposition though does it? Spend a billion quid to immediately lose over half of it and not even have a controlling stake But where that would severely impact is further down the leagues where clubs aren't as attractive a proposition to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Looks like Man U, Real Madrid, Juvebtus and Liverpool are the key players. Not heard much from Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Malc Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 If FIFA/UEFA were serious about ‘fit and proper owners’, they should be looking at how these supposed big-hitters have managed to rack up 1.5bn of debt while hoovering up the majority of tv, prize and merchandise money. If they were really serious they would find a way of removing those in charge because they’re clearly really, really, shiit at their jobs and a clear and present danger to the existence of these historic clubs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl_83 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I don't reckon this is over, not by a long shot. Real Madrid and Barcelona are still in a lot of debt, as are a lot of the clubs. The bubble is still vastly inflated and they will still need to do something. I reckon Real Madrid and Man Utd will just look worldwide for clubs.
