gazza ladra Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I suspect that Man City and Chelsea aside, they are all in serious financial trouble. It's a gambit for survival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just takes one or two of the clubs to pull out and the entire thing will fall over IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Woke up today a bit confident that a couple of clubs will wobble, as reported. I certainly don't think they'll find more clubs to join the 12 - then if Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool or Barcelona start getting cold feet, that's when UEFA/PL threaten them wtih the harshest punishment. FINISH HIM. Really like how everyone has pulled together, fighting for the same thing. We're even cheering on PSG and UEFA, man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm quite enjoying the fact that everyone is calling out all 6 clubs with the exception of Chelsea, everyone just assumes that they are cunts, we hate them anyway and of course they will follow the money with no regard for anyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have less debt now than when the Glazers took us over, and that's after the crippling affect of a pandemic. The only reason we remain in the debt is because the Glazers continue to take money out of the club. What they have taken out for themselves since they took over would have cleared our entire debt 3 times over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that bad, what choice have they got? They spent themselves into a corner. It's ESL or bust. If the governing bodies call their bluff, we could see a few really big clubs "do a Leeds".

ToonArmy1892 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) If it fails the clubs involved still need to be punished, more than just points deduction, demotion to the bottom tier of football. Sorry for the proper fans and that, but this is serious shit. Edited April 20, 2021 by ToonArmy1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think the best way to save football going forward is to kick these teams out of all leagues, let them drown in their debt, maybe we would see an end to unsustainably run football clubs and inflated prices of players/tickets/merch etc that all end up going back to the pocket of these greedy fuckers. the sheer arrogance of this proposal really is striking, thinking the game is only about them? As always massive respect to German Clubs, they always seem to be the best run and care more about the game and the fans than profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
