Real Madrid are £900m in debt
Barcelona £1bn in debt
Juventus in huge debt
Man Utd in huge debt
Spurs in huge debt
This was the cash cow that these bastards banked on to ease the debt burden and they have come unstuck, this may lead to well run clubs becoming more competitive against the so called giants.

Never thought I would say this but 'Gary Neville for Sports Personality of the Year'.

His fantastic outburst on Sunday night really set the foundation for the fans fantastic response and will help football get back on track.

Just a thought (another one).   :)

Chelsea and Man City were, apparently, least convinced of the merits of the proposal and acquiesced due to fears of being left behind. Hopefully one or both break ranks and the whole thing crumbles.

A big boy did it and ran away.

I'd forgotten posting that, but if sickbeggar is claiming smuggery this evening then I guess I can, too. 🙂

For just a few hours our chances of winning something suddenly improved only to be dashed by Chelsea and Man City yet again.
I fear tomorrow may be a proper down to earth moment.

Ed Woodward’s resignation statement

 “I am extremely proud to have served United and it has been an honour to work for the world’s greatest football club for the past 16 years.”

Even now, they just can’t stop the arrogance

There has to be a consequence to this level of treachery.

The whole thing is so murky, CD.
Your motives are pure.
I think we’re going to understand the long game somewhere around 2182, at the bicentennial.

Depends. Did UEFA offer City and Chelsea a safe way back but not the others?

(realistically the broadcasters and advertisers aren't gonna put up with a CL without the scum 10 for too long.)

So only Man City have officially started proceedings to withdraw from the super league.
Chelsea are having doubts.
Barcelona and Real Madrid committed to the plans.
