The Prophet Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 How can you just punish the directors? If a club enters administration, they're deducted points. If they break FFP, they're supposed to be kicked out of Europe. The Governing bodies don't make an exception because neither the fans or the players were involved. I don't necessarily agree with that, but they're going against their own precedent to appease six clubs. Its total cowardice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Whole thing stinks. We know beyond any doubt that John Henry et al couldn't give a solitary shite about the fans so the angle now the "we've stopped cos the fans don't like it" shouldn't be swallowed up by anyone.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 30 minutes ago, Dokko said: They didn’t kill the league, but it was still attempted murder and they need to be charged as such. Anything else gives them full licence to try it again. I don’t mind if it’s specifically people punished, but it has to be full lifetime bans from running/owning a club. Getting rid of levy, glazers, abramovic and the cunt from Liverpool would be a great statement that the odt is fit for purpose and ongoing, not just as you get the foot in the door. it won’t happen though. Shame. The issue with this is how do the owners dispose of the clubs if they fail the test? It's the same with fans demanding that the owners walk away. The value of these clubs is prohibitive for a 'good' sale, you are looking at hedge funds or similar structures to FSG. Most of the Middle East is out due to other club ownership and I really don't see how PIF can buy any premier league club other than us now, the legal ramifications would dwarf the SL argument for the Premier League. Chelsea fans had no issue when Abramovich was spending hundreds of millions to deliver the Champions League (and saving them from going under remember), Liverpool fans similar with FSG. It's unfortunate to say the least but fans will be the victims of any punishment but there is no real alternative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Been trying to get a feel for how fans of the European clubs feel about this. A poll of Juve fans on their forum showed clear support: https://www.vecchiasignora.com/topic/353397-sondaggio-ufficiale-vs-favorevoli-o-contrari-alla-superlega/ Run it through a Google Translate to get a further idea. Just a disgraceful club supported, in large, by gloryhunting arseholes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 To show how little these owners care, apparently one of the owners of the 6 clubs was at a game recently and had to ask what team was his, as he didn't know what kit they played in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Has this thing about them getting money been confirmed? I thought that might be a dodgy rumour put out by those sticking at it in Spain and Italy. What are the official grounds for the money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why Atletico are still clinging on - Real Madrid and Juventus probably need to go to down with the ship as they put themselves front and centre. Yeah, Piqué has already come out saying he's against it, so we're pretty much out. This was a deal agreed by Bartomeu, and it's obvious Laporta was just waiting to see if the thing worked out before going all in (yesterday the club said Laporta would give a press conference discussing our involvement "before the end of may" (:lol:). He has an easy out. We're still financially fucked mind. So we'd appreciate UEFA buying us out with cash, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
