The Spanish banker who created this reckons they will pump EUR 400M into the leagues and put an end to "madness" of big money transfers. I'm not sure how lower transfer fees help those outside the ESL as I assume they are then poaching our player as we scramble to make ends meet.

Bunch of bankers

It seems Morgan Stanley didn't tell Javid or Umunna first. Umunna leads their environmental and social responsibility governance work in Europe apparantly.

All this new money coming in and the agents won't be trying to get their own (and maybe their clients) cut? Transfer fees are literally climbing with the money being pumped in from TV and league deals and a sudden £4 billion appearing from no where will stop in both the ESL and the leagues they are leaving behind? Just shows the crap that these people are using to justify this.

Chelsea fans have blocked the team bus from getting to Stamford Bridge!

If you’d have said 72 hours ago, I’d have upmost respect for Patrick Bamford, Leeds United, Jose Mourinho and Chelsea fans, I’d have said you was mad. But here we are.

Fair play to Chelsea: probably seen the fan protests on Sky outside their ground. Man City & Spurs look like following suit.

I see a (cash) friendly Spanish judge has rules against UEFA and FIFA to stop them making threats or following through on threats to stop the ESL. How can a Judge in one country sanction European and World Wide organisations? Any help Legal Eagles?

Although there are conflicting reports on his leaving so I would leave him out at the moment maybe.

Surely they'll follow, and then surely that's it. The sheer financial power of those plus PSG and Bayern will be overwhelming.

Surely they won't want to face the wrath of fans in B6 tomorrow evening.

If the Spurs fans follow Chelsea fans behaviours and block the coach but Gareth Bale is on there, do they fall foul on the new law on Statues and protests?

Yup I think they should still face some form of punishment.

Ha, it's unravelling already.

Shame, I hoped they'd go and leave the rest to it. Though perhaps this will reduce their influence even further. Wankers.
