The main issue is, the young posters, they're all about the emojis, the "lol" and the like. To secure the future of the forum, we need 60% of the GM subs. It's only fair.

Just dripping of desperation. Perez comes across as a colossal pompous wanker who would walk over a dying man to pick up a penny.

Perez is a man in a desperate position and scared to death of his bank manager calling.

Yes Perez is looking rather desperate here.

Without knowing what was actually signed I'm not sure I agree, I think he's probably being the most honest of anyone involved. He's a twat, there's no denying that, but at least he hasn't thrown out a pathetic apology. The idea that they'll come back with something slightly different in 6 months rings true to me, that's why the leagues need to have a proper punishment, make it clear that this shit isn't something that will be forgiven after a few scapegoat sackings in the boardrooms.

I know we want them punished I think the best way to  punish them is to limit their squad size to 22 for the next 3 seasons

That's far from the worst idea I've heard, although relegating them to the Conference might be better.

They may well have signed binding contracts but Perez has already admitted there's a financial cancellation penalty so on the basis he's dealing with gazillionaires if they decide they're not continuing, they're not continuing.

As for the punishment, I'm convinced there'll be no punishment whatsoever. Instead they'll be told they're very naughty boys and the rules will be changed to make punishing them easier if they try it again.

But what choice does poor Florentino have? Poor little Real are as skint as a Dickensian orphan child, and it's all the fault of the fickle youth with their Snapnite and their Twitchster.

How are they affording to effectively build a huge sarcophagus over the Bernabeu.

What's the betting that football is reformed around the ideas of the so called big six, just because the FA and FIFA will be desperate to appease them?  What the fuck Tottenham have done to earn such an accolade is beyond me.  They should start with a fans survey.

Necessity is the mother of invention, so it’s just a matter of time before yet another scheme to carve up football in favour of these clubs.
Wenger made a great point, saying he could not believe how stupid the English clubs were in being complicit in the attempt to trash the Premier League cash cow.

Comical Florentino: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/apr/24/perez-says-super-league-clubs-cannot-leave-as-manchester-united-fans-protest



my god man cut your cloth accordingly  .   The whole industry needs to look at itself.  how about a reasonable wage cap of £100k a week and a squad of no more than 25 .  this would stop the rich owners swallowing up all the main talent so nobody else can sign them
