Neil Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 This is class, but also despairing to think this attempted coup will get brushed under the carpet. Sincerely hope it leads to the proper change the whole sport needs but I'm not holding my breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizza Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Absolutely delighted to see this falling flat on its arse so quickly Now nail the cunts to the wall for even attempting it. There had to be repercussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Grovelling back to the ECA will be fun. Need to push ahead with something legal to stop this next time, when it inevitably comes up again. Some EU anti-competition law, I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) The speed and ease that this has collapsed is rather suspicious Edited April 20, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy win for votes to stop this ever happening again and it diverts attention for a bit from the usual Tory backhanders/COVID handling/brexit fuckup... Also football keeps the masses happy, usually in pubs spending money keeping out the way. Yes, it could spin that way. But let's be clear, their track record protects wealth and power and they've ignored the problem for a decade in power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Daft bastards soon crumbled once Charners was on the Zoom chat, I bet he gave them both barrels, didn't they realise who they were dealing with ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Three to five year ban from Europe would do nicely. Get a few of us back into Europe and backed with the cash that comes with it. Will level the playing field a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world, relegate them all to the lowest leagues and give them a 10 year transfer ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 This is starting to feel like a massive ploy, very suspicious especially if they just end up getting fined (which means fuck all to them). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Grim reality that I hated football as it was four days ago sinks in. Nothing changing is basically the same thing as all this takeover stuff resulting in compensation for Ashley.

BlueStar Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I mean.. Surely they could have predicted this? Did they think the backlash would only/mostly be from the fans of pleb teams that didn't get to be in it, rather than the big six fans all hating their own clubs?

Consortium of one Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think the 14 remaining PL teams should discuss and vote on sanctions. Charnley would probably vote for a years supply of paper plates and plastic forks, spoons and knives for the club cafeteria. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
