The only reason UEFA gave a fuck in the first place was the that they lost access to the cash-cows. There's not a chance anyone will be banned from Europe or be given enough of a points deduction to stop them getting there. This is the same as what people were saying yesterday - this isn't revolution, it's evolution. There's no winners here, just lesser evils. Again, I don't think we should be happy about any of this. FIFA and UEFA are corrupt shithouses of people just as self-serving and malicious as any of the ESL clubs and their plans. If anyone thinks that Aleksander Čeferin or Gianni Infantino are the good guys here then they need their head checking. God no. That's not as important as this shit. /s I agree with your assessment regarding FIFA and UEFA. They are certainly not the good guys. I can't stand them, because of their anti English agenda. Part of the problem with the European competitions is they have pandered too much to the big clubs. To the point where they devalued their own competitions. Hence the the need to roll them back to pre 2000's criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely if we sells it would be the full lot and he'd probably want the majority if not all the money back he has pissed up the wall back.

PlayItLivo Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I’ve often thought that fans of these “big teams” would be completely on board with a break off league, certainly because most of them are seen to be “armchair” fans who’s relationship with football is solely one of entertainment. It’s easy to assume these fans would lap up the prospect of seeing the “elite v elite” every week and to hell with the rest of us. But to be fair the this issue hasn’t even been divisive, it’s been completely rebuked by the vast majority of fans of those 6 clubs and given that these fans have stood up with the rest of football against this, I don’t want to see any sanctions to those clubs directly in terms of points deductions or expulsion from competitions. Although the owners should be barred from football activity for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds were fined £200k for 'spying' on Derby County training so that sets a benchmark that didn't hurt their supporters How about deduct 50% of their UEFA payments for a season which has to be spent in the EFL pyramid or grassroots football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think during the times of Platini running UEFA and Blatter running FIFA then their was plenty of anti English sentiment particularly around the 2018 world cup bid. Both those 2 got shown up as being corrupt parasites though. However Im not sure their is still the same anti English sentiment now. Though Im not particularly confident in either organisation to reign in the big clubs in this instance which is probably whats required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not really sure I'm keen on sanctions which will ultimately affect fan enjoyment. Because these 12 clubs knew that they would be the pariah's of the footballing world with these plans, but they were counting on their own fan base's approval for them to have the mandate to go ahead. Had the vast majority of their fans not kicked off, or had even endorsed it, they'd have pushed it through. So I don't think it's right to punish the fans along with the owners. But fines on their revenue, would certainly be a more indirect way of sanctioning the clubs without stifling fan enjoyment. Just as anecdote, a Chelsea fan brandishing this sign sums up their sentiments and an appreciation of football not all being glitz and glamour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
