I don't see how they could stop it. They aren't going to pass a law to ban it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bose Posted April 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2021 At least the German teams seem to be against it. Also majority fan owned. Horrible day for true football otherwise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think they can - football clubs are part of the fabric of society and as has already been mooted they can enforce new ownership models on the nation's clubs, or tax the f*ck out of it if they wanted and with a populist in charge I expect them to want to do that, as others have said.

trom_borg Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Just another sad manifestation of money ruining football. I think its a result of the proportions getting out of hand, the risk of loss are getting to big. When the needed investments are as high as now (player salary or purchase price, stadium costs, agent fees ect ect.) there is really no room for failure, there is no room for loosing those big bucks caus ethen you cant pay your bills. But you also can not skip thos eheavy investments cause then you'll loose ground to those who spend. Solution? Secure your stream of income so risk of investment is minimized. Our whole society is becoming money obsessed, all other values and virtues are sacrificed on the altar of profits, because without it you become irelevant/die. The monumental negative response to these news are encouraging, but let's see where we end up. For me its clear though, we should use this difficult time to push a new structure which has sustainability and perseverance of the WHOLE footballing pyramid as its core value. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted April 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 In a way I hope talk of this carries on until the summer, so that no players of note sign for the big clubs in case they get banned from playing in the World Cup. Villa will give you a safe haven boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you like about the Tories but they've swung much more nationalist of late and this is great politics for them. Want to show off how you're willing to stick up for the common man and this country's heritage? Save the national sport from being hijacked by billionaires and ruined. You can argue about whether that's actually a fair reflection of events, but I reckon they're licking their lips at the chance to ride to the rescue here. I hate the Tories and I agree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 Every part of me things that PL, UEFA, FIFA etc will all cave in and come to some sort of compromise to stop this whole thing. But, I hope to god they stand firm and tell them all to piss off and block players from participating in Euros/World Cups etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
