He means 'viewers'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) It is actually the players who need to lead the revolt. Football is nothing without fans, true. But what is a fan? It's no longer important that the fan grew up in the shadow of Anfield. Their money mainly does come from overseas fans who have never even and probably never will ever go to Anfield. But what is inescapable is that football is nothing without players. You can't sub that out to 5m people from the Far East. The majority of the world's best players need to revolt about this because they are the ultimate block. Edited April 19, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 TBH I can't see OGS staying at Manu if this was to go through. He's loyal to SAF, friends with people who are absolutely slating the club and his starlet is now slagging off the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, but if they booted them out the league surely points gained against them would be revoked. Meaning we’d probably be worse off having beat Liverpool, Arsenal x2, plus maybe more I can’t remember? it’s a huge mess whatever the outcome!

Only place Labour can go is further than whatever the government suggests. Grind these owners into the dirt. And perfect for them - they can't and won't actually do anything as they share the ethos of the owners of the twelve, but they can bluster and posture for the cameras and sound like they care and are concerned. A great way to look good without having to do anything - it's a Johnson dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, that rule was changed so that your whole nominated 25 man squad is now deemed to be of sufficient quality to play in the Premier League. But I'm sure there'll be plenty of other reasons to kick them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silent_Bob Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 1 minute ago, Wainy316 said: We've won 21 major trophies to Spurs' 17. Or you can deduct one Super Cup each if you don't count that. I actually just looked at this list. Maybe it was wrong. It's kind of not so relevant. The thing is that clubs like ourselves, Newcastle, Leeds, even Forest and a few others, have the potential to fill the void of the breakaway six. The SuperLeague isn't a domestic league, it's something local fans doesn't really care about. It is however somthing that is aimed at an international market. But kids in Asia, the US and so on doesn't have a closer realtionship to Manchester and Liverpool than a fish has to a bicycle. Over time they will just be gloryhunting supporters of another team instead. Who would have though, 15 years ago, that Manchester CIty would be a world wide brand? They used to play Shaun Goater up front and played in the third level 20 years ago. 99.99% of all football will still go on within the UEFA system. With great clubs like Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Sevilla, PSG, Roma, Lazio and a buch of others. Then there will be a few plastic clubs that used to be great playing in a plastic league and doing their thing there.. As long as domestic leagues doesn't lend these clubs the credebility to portray themselves as elite clubs within their own nations, then over time people will just ignore them. There is nothing genuine about this league and there is nothing genuine about Liverpool supporters worrying about their upcoming game vs Juventus, the third time they play them this season. You have the local fans, who support their local team. Then you have the international fans. They just support random teams. It could be Liverpool. Or it could be us. It doesn't matter. They have a worldwide support today, due to success in domestic competitions. But if they choose to be a team like Harlem Globetrotters instead, then people soon will lose interest. So kick out the breakaway six. It won't be the end of the world. Other clubs will take their place, and they won't be more missed than Sunderland, Derby, Leeds or Sheffield Wednesday were. They too left the main stage, obviously for different reasons. But still. Even Huddersfield has more league titles than Spurs. It's really not the end of the world. Kicking them out will just make the Premier League a much more interesting league than it has been over the last couple of decades. And give new opportunities to clubs like us. For once it will actually be about how well the club is run, how many supporters you have and so on. Not so much about how deep pockets your owner has. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
