He's already very adept at imitating and behaving like a snake, so I believe he'd actually like it there. Is there an island full of snake eating eagles?

Letting these clubs continue in the tournament is unacceptable. Restoring 3 previously eliminated teams is probably the least bad option? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know but he wouldn't be unemployed for long and I guess he enjoyed his long time in Mainz without the big money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they agree, 100 point deduction this season for each 'club' and a ban from european competition for five years. Let them feel what it's like for the rest of the clubs they wanted to destroy. Stamp it out entirely and make sure it's never discussed again. A massive fine to distribute to lower League clubs would go towards an apology as well. If they fail to agree to this within 48 hours then full expulsion and expunge them from the history books. They can either go and play with themselves in some global money league or if that doesn't come off then they can sell the grounds and build apartments. It'll be a lesson well learned. It won't happen, but it should. This is the battle for the remnants of the soul of the world's greatest sport. Nothing should be off the table. To quote someone earlier... "Destroy them". They're trying to destroy rhe whole of the history of European football. Hundreds of fine clubs would go to the wall. No mercy.

sne Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Only way i see Klopp walking is if he's genuinely against this, he's been offered the Bayern job and Bayern not going to join the Super League. Not 100% impossible I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 19, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2021 I think it's difficult to punish the clubs. But you can issue a life ban from involvement in anything to do with football to Perez, Glazer, Henry and the rest of them - force them to sell up - and maybe do the same for their CEO's, rid the world of Agnelli, Levy, Woodward and that crew - that's what I'd like to see happen. Not a punishment for the fans or the players, but for the people whose idea this was. I'd then like to see a gradual adjustment of the rules that spreads power out from small groups of clubs - so for the Premier league insist that clubs relegated within five years also get a vote - which opens it up to 25-30 clubs and spreads power - a more even spread then of TV money and merit payments, that sort of thing - it's a pipe dream I know, but we are on the edge of the abyss and if we get away with it, we need to learn these lessons and change things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
