The cowards ruin everything. Those afraid of competition. Those who bet the farm and lost. Well boo fucking hoo. Clubs have always risen and fallen, take your medicine and come back, if you can.

The rich ruin everything and should be overthrown and destroyed.

Define 'rich'. Villa have spent hundreds of millions to be a bottom half team.

Thinking more of the owners to be honest, including our own, and how there isn't a corner of the world they can't ruin.

250/1 to win the title, 4th favourites on Sky Bet without "the Big 6".

Basically my entire objection to FFP.

Have Bayern snubbed it or have they been forced to by being 51% fan owned ?

I fear when this happens, it may effect us and the owners have bought us to be one of the big boys again, if that's become a closed shop does their ambitions and interest end with it ?


I agree. We have just announced long term plans for inevestment in the playing side and infrastructure which are now effectively redundant. This is pulling the drawbridge up on a grand scale.

The teams lower down the pyramid will be devastated as PL money dries up.

Thing is this surely must be a breach of existing rules around participation in the leagues/competitions. If the authorities don’t absolutely hammer these clubs then they’ll be walked over forever.

West Ham are nine points clear with four games left, if you remove all results against the Scab Six.

I expect some Old Testament retribution.

Like McGrath gets to smite Pep on Wednesday in lieu of the game or something.

Do you give everybody 6 points? Take them away? They've fucked the integrity of the league entirely.

I would suddenly have a massive amount of respect for any manager of one of these clubs who resigns on principal or a player who says he will no longer play for them.

Problem is the authorities won’t have the bottle to expel/significantly penalise them.

The threat of stopping players from playing in the World Cup for their countries would be legally challenged, as the players will argue that they are being forced into this Super league by their clubs.

This hasn't been confirmed anywhere. Would be a good laugh. Award PSG the CL and lef Villarreal and Roma contest the EL Final.
