Er why would Ashley be releasing any kind of statement like that if his business in football was soon to be over?

Just seems like Bruce is constantly itching for an excuse to get rid of him and play Krafth

Yeah but apparently he also said the takeover was dead?

Hard to even believe how good Leeds' football is.

This twitter interaction/thread. State of football

Perhaps the leaking of these plans was done to specifically pressure the PL into accepting the original Big Picture plans (where the top six have full control)? Although generally speaking I think a Super League has been always been unavoidable.

This is basically why he's starting Hendrick on the wing to pre-emptively "compensate". The irony is that he's only going to make worse, more defensive decisions in the days to come to try to overcome this.

holy shit lol

Sheff Utd look terrible.

Kepa is one of the worst goalies I've ever seen

Southgate will still call up Pickford tho

Will probably still happen eventually. The big six unfortunately do have all the leverage.

Man Utd are in danger of being replaced by Wolves or Everton in the top four (or even us if a takeover goes through). I'm sure secretly Neville loves the idea of Man Utd being able to stop this happening via the Top 6 executive cartel.

Well if the above ITK post is true, their incentive to approve quickly would be to avoid losing in court? It really depends how confident they are in defending themselves, though. And also whether they're secretly happy to take the damages if it means avoiding allowing a competitive NUFC into the league (who may end up replacing one of the powerful old guard struggling on the threshold of the top four e.g. Man Utd, Arsenal).

Hard to see that not eventually happening, seems inevitable with the Yanks in control.

PL will just intentionally delay it then if that's the case

Qatar will be swooping back in to interfere though now it's public

He really wouldn't. Even when he played he was shit.

Didn't know he was still alive

This season is shaping up for something genuinely insane to happen e.g. Everton or Leeds winning the league

They do but their performances don't necessarily translate into results (the same was true last season and they were in the relegation battle until the penultimate weekend I think?) They'll be down about there but will ultimately stay up.

Rodgers won't last the season

Don't know why but Everton have accumulated quite a big overseas following and they're particularly awful/entitled.

Holgate is much better than Mina so I'd be surprised

VAR :lol:
