Massive smoke screen ,making everyone grateful because we now 'only' have a small change to Cl qualifying rather than a whole new league. They must be laughing thier b*llocks off. Give it a couple of years to become the norm, then the 'elite' team places get expanded, until they all qualify every year anyway. Then increase thier share of cash.. And what have you got? A European super league. Makes you wonder. All the planning and cost that would have gone into this and then to fold so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 They must have realised this would be massively unpopular but the promise of the riches completely over rode the decision. I doubt the other 4 will go as quickly and AC Milan don't have a lot to you know what in so they will be in it till the very end. Personally they can all go, I don't watch them unless they are playing us so I won't be missing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What needs to happen is for the owners to fined up to their eyeballs and/or forced to sell and never be able to buy a football club in Britain ever again. Disagree, the club needs to be punish, this will make all future custodians aware not to mess with the fans as the fans will be pissed. And like someone said before, clubs have been punished heavily for less then this because of actions of the execs. Send all 6 to league two with 20 point deduction and let them earn the right to be in the top table and see what it means to earn it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should in the same way that Sheffield Wednesday and Wigan get docked points. That's not the fault of their players, staff or fans either but if it applies to them it should also apply to Liverpool and co. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly what goes through these peoples heads to think signing up for something like this would be a good idea... and they earn fortunes to make these decisions, shocking. Lets remove the competition from sport, lets just win all the time. People love to see us win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 3 year European ban for all participants would be perfect. Give other teams a chance to get in, get the players and when they come back there’s a bit more parity in these leagues. Reform from there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do hope there some juicy legal wrangling on the way. Few hundred million in legal fees to push one or two of the bastards over the edge.
