cookidge Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 My Liverpool and City supporting friends were fuming and saying "I understand how you feel about Newcastle now" but since the super league has failed they don't want to talk about it anymore. I said they should still be angry that the owners of their clubs tried to subvert competition and never apologised to other clubs for that. They've moved on apparently now - "I'm alright Jack" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rules for thee, but not for me!" If the "Big 6" are in constant greed mode, why aren't the "Small 14" doing the same to get a leg up? Fucking hell, I wish they went through with it like a lot of you have mentioned since yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I generally agree with Barnes but this point that what they tried is no different or only marginally different to what Sky and the PL did in 1992 is so lazy and just plain wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Hope Neville and Carragher put as much effort into criticising the new CL format as they did the Super League. In reality there's little enough difference except more clubs are involved. The elite are still protected and there's loads of meaningless games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) That Kavi bloke on SSN going with the narrative of "why punish the fans/players" and thinks the 14 clubs will welcome them back but not certain individuals at the clubs.

cookidge Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Maybe I'm more angry about this than I need to be. but there needs to be some sort of punishment - yes it will affect the supporters of these clubs - but the supporters of these clubs should be humble and rational enough (I know) to blame the owners for the continued consequences of their selfish actions. Appeal aside, City were banned from Europe for overspending, this should be taken as precedent in this situation. If a European ban is the consequence for that, then what should the consequence for an attempted coup be? One year ban from european competition, reasonable points deduction at the start of next season and/or a proportion of the monies received for their final position in the table shared out amongst championship clubs and below? It is the minimum I would understand and believe it would be a reasonable compromise - not enough, but something. I don't think my 'big six' supporting friends have had enough practice at being pissed off at their clubs, and it shows. How they went from 'relegate us' to 'nah let's all crack on' within 24 hours is some mental gymnastics I'll never understand.

Consortium of one Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Started a tl:dr but decided against it. I appreciate the fans who protested against their own club. However, those clubs need to be punished for this action and clear guidelines established to harshly deal with a club(s) who tries it again. Immediate points deduction and transfer sanctions would be a good start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until yesterday most football people were panicking that the big clubs held all the cards. The Big Six have been blackmailing the PL authorities for too long now, would be very difficult to now start throwing the book at them. Can imagine all sorts of shit would come out if the PL collaboration with the Big Six regarding our takeover is anything to go by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine all sorts of shit would come out if the PL collaboration with the Big Six regarding our takeover is anything to go by. I'm not so sure the boat has sailed. Look at the teams that were driving this: Liverpool, Man U, Real and Juventus. All big clubs that want security in troubled times. All clubs that have overspent and are fearful that without CL money they'll be in the shit. Clubs that were so afraid that they cast their lot with an ill advised, poorly constructed super league that vanished in the blink of an eye. They are not holding any cards at all. Now is the time to hit them. But, care must be given to how hard they are hit. Remember Germany after WWI. Had the sanctions been less prohibitive, there may not have been a WWII. Punish, don't cripple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Just turned on SSN. There not a single whiff of something game changing had hapened in the past day or so. Normal graphics, normal news. Yep, nothing happened. Move along. We're still rich and so are the Big Six. Pathetic. Wonder if they still want to call them that. It was Sky who came up with that term for those teams. Edited April 21, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 They broke the rules they have to have the book thrown at them or the government should step in and investigate. When a number of lower league teams have previously lost points/fined/relegated for breaking the rules, it will show total corruption if the same does not occur.

huss9 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 havent really looked into the detail of the proposed (or have they been agreed?) changes to the uefa champions league. i mean coefficiants etc. but would it mean the likes of liverpool , man city, manu would qualify even if they finished 6/7th but the "lesser teams" would need to finish top 4??? if so, its not much better than the ESL is it?

AJ9 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I can’t allow myself to get angry at the lack of punishment like. Should there be? Yes, absolutely. Will there be? Not on your life. The result will be that this situation will come up again and as sure as night turns in to day, these arseholes will pull it again, and the apocalypse will happen, sooner rather than later. Football is fucked, it can’t be saved. There are too many contradictions in the model. Let’s just be thankful that it’s still free to be able to pick up a ball and kick it around a park ?
