SiJ Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I mean...he was part of a group of owners who have now twice tried to pretty much destroy the English football pyramid. This time it was so serious, that Liverpool FC faced potential expulsion from their domestic league. Sure they'll be plenty of Liverpool fans who lap it up, but I suspect the die hards won't forgive or forget what their owners did.

CircleSeven Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 In years to come this will be used as an example taught to Business Studies students of how not to launch something. Not one ounce of thought when into the people who the club exist for, the fans. The whole venture got the treatment it deserved! That said, I’m still disappointed we didn’t get an invite! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 If these clubs had any stones at all, or cared one bit for fans, they would now commit to wider reform including make a commitment to return to free to watch TV from the expiry of the current TV contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is $5b of JP Morgans money sitting there waiting to be spent on football. Trust me, this won't go away after a year of financial turmoil for football. UEFA will have sniffed that money and will be all over it from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the truth is that the ESL ‘Project’ is a reaction to a genuine problem. It was just a greedy and selfish reaction. But yes. There is more to run on this story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Looking at the statement by the ESL, and the singling out of the "English Clubs" and external pressure, it's fairly clear that the UK Govt were going to come down so hard on them that the Big 6 would either have to move to the continent, or play only British players. Thank you Tories, thank you Boris, and thank you Brexit. You have saved Football. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, this won't go away after a year of financial turmoil for football. UEFA will have sniffed that money and will be all over it from today. Absolutely and this was my first thought this morning. For my money, all this about the fans and sporting integrity is a load of absolute tosh. FIFA and UEFA's biggest problem with the ESL is that they weren't in the loop. The work that will have gone into the ESL will be shelved and the shady meetings will go behind closed doors to work on it, now with the governing bodies on board sniffing around the financial gains. Give it 5 years and this will be re-badged and re-presented to us with FIFA and UEFA's approval, and at that point it will go through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're at it, I'd also like to thank the pizza I had yesterday, the decent weather we had over the weekend and former muck star Sasha Grey for helping to prevent the formation of the ESL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 People are saying the players. Managers and fans are innocent and clubs should not be punished with points deductions etc. we’ve been shafted by having a poo owner making the wrong decisions. let’s see how fifa/uefa/fa act now.

Stop watching sounded insincere like a kid who had been caught nicking biscuits out of the tin and desperately chatting poo to talk himself out of it. I might have been too harsh.
