Unbelievable Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Not fair on the fans, give me a break. The fans of the so-called big six have benefitted and continue to benefit handsomely from the clubs they support taking more than their fair share of the spoils, their club getting much more media coverage, competing in Europe, using their power and influence to minimise competition etc. Most of these fans that seemingly need protecting understand full well and feel strongly that their club was in the wrong over this. What's not fair is for the clubs not to be suitably punished where plenty of others have been over the years to the point of going out of business at times. I want them excluded from European competition for at least a season; they didn't feel they needed it anymore, so surely they can do without for a year or two. If UEFA won't do it, the FA should show some balls and rule out the 6 English culprits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Got to be on the wind up? Not fair on the fans ffs, boo hoo. Neither is it when teams go into administration and get docked points. Mind, Liverpool and Man U fans do seem to think they are special cases and deserve preferential treatment. Can't stand the pair of them.

It's not fair on the fans of every other teams that these clubs have tried to eliminate any competition to their financial dominance. Even fans of these clubs have objected to this absurd proposal, so fans thoughts have been a distant last in the consideration. There is/will be no meaningful punishment for this lot....5% of European revenue? What a pisstake. Means nothing to the ones that actually qualify as they generally can live without it for a few seasons. Even less of a punishment for the teams that might not even qualify (cough Arsenal, Tottenham) Should have been a ban from qualification at least, and expulsion from this years competition. They've had a tap on the wrist, and been told 'don't do it again, or else', where or else is 'we might do something a bit harsher' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
