The government of ultra capitalism and just last week was pushing 'greed is good'
They don't give a feck... just seen the public outcry and it's an easy win for them to say they are with the fans... but really the tories have always treated football fans as scum
As per a source close to FIFA, it is not expected that the imposition of the 50+1 rule by the Government on English football will be deemed a breach of its rules on Government interference
A "cat on the wall" stand. Good job Prime Video
more than 50% if the shares in a club must be owned by the fans (like in germany - except RB Leipzig seem to be an exception)
Personally I woudnt take Fifa's legal advice on anything for what its worth... id rate "source close to Fifa" even lower
Which is fundermentally against the esl what's your point?
Thanks
Cheers. That would be great to be honest.
Because they're American sports, not worldwide like football. Not because of the format.
Wouldn't be ironic if the Glazers were responsible for ruining ownership for themselves, all americans or middle-east countries ? 
Even if this does get stopped we are now too far gone. These parasites need to go. The club is dead until they go.
If this doesn't work, and the super league idea fails, how exactly can the Glazers/Woodward remain at our club?! The vitriol at every match would be horrific, and they've simply united our rival fans against them.
If you're a Utd fan who thinks this league is a good idea, or at least an interesting one, this could be your chance to genuinely get united backing against the Glazers and the lecherous, odious overlords we have to endure.

The rumours that Chelsea and City are thinking to back out are fake. Pérez told in Chiringuito they signed a binding contract between the 12 founders. No one leaves and they all signed without any pressure last saturday.
Yeah fair play to Pep. That is likely the most damning response you'll hear from a manager. I hope Ole has the balls to do the same. In fact he has possibly the best platform to do so. He is a playing legend for this club who knows its history and scored the vital goal in a CL final. He has a lot of real personal experience to invoke. I do acknowledge he is in a tough position though as our scumbag owners will have no problem sacking him if he speaks out.
how's that going to be implemented? 51% of United, that's a lot of money and I'm currently short on cash.
Yup. Point of no return.
The happiest people right now are the ones who dreamed up "New Coke". Generations from now people will still use the ESL as a metaphor for imbecilic corporate ideas.
The only suspense left is how much longer this drags out until they surrender and reverse it. It is DOA.

apparently we can just take out a bank loan... make united pay it back and award ourself a wage / management fee whenever we feel like it
You missed my point. The CL is the most important trophy, no doubt. UEFA may own the rights but they are nothing without the teams that take part. I don't care about UEFA as an organization, all I care about is the tournament itself.
I don’t care if it's called the uefa champions league, the Florentino Perez super league or the Joel glazer Pikachu league as long as it has the best teams in Europe in it.
Do you remember when we were the subject of a hostile takeover and the Glazers didn’t care?
50+1 would be great if it can be pushed through. How will fans find the money for it though? United alone are worth about 3 billion, and if a hundred thousand fans pay up for 51 percent of the club, that is 15k out of each of their pockets.
And you can't force one rule to apply to some clubs, and another rule to another club. All clubs in the football league would have to be sold to their fans. Not going to be easy.

Bayern club statement now, not just quoting the Rummenigge interview

Can’t they just make it such that all season ticket holders need to vote and have at least 75% in favour for any decision regarding the club to be implemented?
The obvious solution for many of us would be the status quo.
But I am not sure that is going to or can happen.
To me, this is a stage too far for a simple climb down, for either side.
Ultimately, this can only be resolved by discussion and some form of compromise.
But having said that, it is pretty clear that both sides will go through the posturing phase to establish a position of strength.
This will run for some time before the clubs self interest can become a common interest, assuming of course that either side doesn't take it a step too far.
They can't full stop. We have always hated them while other fans rejoiced at the 'big bad guy' being fecked over. Now all the rival fans hate them too and all our ex players will be much quicker to speak out (Neville finally found his voice). Its like when I laughed at Liverpool's problems until I heard talk of administration and was appalled that they could cease to exist. Rival fans don't want to live in a world without their direct competitors.
The article about Chelsea and Man City possibly backing out.

Ok, I'm in. Also we could maybe form our own league down the line, a kind of "super?" league, with blackjack and hookers.
Please Jesus please. Forget the Super League this would just be a dream come true.
There’s zero chance govt will suddenly allow the effective compulsory part nationalisation of businesses because of ill feelings of a proposed football league.
People who take this seriously are Tooth Fairy believers surely?

What about teams like Leipzig and Hertha, didn’t they find workarounds despite this being in place in Germany. Genuine question, don’t know much about it.
This would be different. Then, even Utd fans were pretty divided and only a few got behind it really.
Then there was the green and gold campaign which had a wider backing, but was still pretty tame and palatable.
This would be on a whole new level. You've even got pundits demanding action against the owners. As soon as fans are back in, this gets so ugly.
Honestly, if the government wanted to stop this, just allow all fans back to Utd's next home game as normal and watch all the clubs drop out of this idea.
I mean, people who taste tested new coke supposedly thought it was better..
We'll use debt . . It's been done before.
swap the blackjack for cocaine and you have yourself a business partner
