TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 UEFA have completely squandered their unmitigated leverage by pushing through those ridiculous Swiss Model reforms to the competition, even while all this was collapsing.

The grief I was getting from mates who support them over Saudi involvement in our takeover was along the lines of "they'll have tarnished football for me". Right, because you lot have contributed so much to the greater good of the game. Fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I can't help but think about Mike Ashley and the way the media has defended him consistently over the last 10+ years. It's only very recently that they discovered he was a bad egg, seemingly because Steve Bruce must be defended and Ashley is a good way to deflect criticism. Now suddenly fans and the media are united in saving football. It's perverse. Burn it all down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The greatest gift this nonsense has given us is the outright exposure how fractured the game has become through greed, grift and how little regard there is for fans of the game. You have to be willfully ignorant, dumb (not care one way or another) or in on the grift to not feel like Football is completely fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big threat uefa have been worried about for 20-30 years is done so if they wanted they could move away from stupidity like the swiss model. Now they won't because they want to make as much money as possible too and want clubs with big markets in by any means necessary so better save a couple of spots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t receive severe punishment (the owners/directors at least) then this means nothing and they will more than likely be even more powerful domestically. Throw the book at them, fuck them. I said something similar yesterday. We've played in the Championship in recent years, was hardly going to be unfathomable to play in a Premier without the 'big 6' clubs. My view has always been they need the PL more than NUFC needs them. It could only have worked for them if they were allowed to compete in domestic football as well, if they got kicked out the ESL brand would have died a slow death IMO. Everything which works about English football is built around regional city rivalries and the tribal nature of fans in stadiums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
