Its the Silicone valley disrupter mentality. You saw it on a small scale with The Athletic. In the early days the CEO openly said that he wanted to destroy the local news beat, or words to that effect. The Yank capitalists see it as a route to progress.

I follow a couple of techies, who were all for this. "Disruptive" they said.
 
Glad this isn't going ahead.

But the cat is out of the bag - these type of people (Glazer, Perez etc.) cannot be involved in football. They do not love and appreciate the game - they are leeches and need removing.

Will be a shame if this falls apart by teams chickening out and withdrawing.

This was a real opportunity for the government to get involved and get rid of all these cnuts who have bought English football clubs over the last 20 years.
 
At this point the longer we stay in the better for us fans. This thing has clearly gone tits up and now it’s just a case of seeing how much pressure is on Woodward and the Glazers when all is said and done.

Saying that while you are sitting in your 10m castle bought by the oil gulf money. That is why I hate the hypocrisy of footballers. Where were you yesterday? or you knew your club is pulling out now you have the chance?

Has the European football aristocracy ever collectively drowned in a sea of gross hypocrisy the likes we’ve seen these past few days?

A veritable shower of cnuts all round.

That’s probably why they are withdrawing. They’ve been told the consequences.
 
Feck, hope this doesn't stop the law makers create a legislation to make that 50 +1 rule.
 
And to think some of these clowns including Woodward have resigned their posts on the Uefa committee. Fecking happy days. We need to drive these cnuts out of our club now
 
David Ornstein arrives to dampen the mood:


We aren’t going to pull out. Woody and the Glazers have shown for a long time that they’re no good at reading what the fans of the club want. They’re going to go down swinging with this idea. United and Real will be the last two left in this.
 
Yanks think about money first and foremost and think that others also only think about money. They'll never get it. Never.

If one believes in science and is both male and American that is going to start a real tug of war between greed and uhm.... urges?
 
Hats off to Chelsea fans for their protests today. And good that Chelsea are retiring.

Great respect to Bayern Munich and Dortmund who could see the wrong thing in this league from the beginning. I will forever have respect for them for their courage and insight to dare to say no and risk standing outside this league.

Some reports saying United will pull out
 
yeah one relatively unknown Twitter user isnt enough for me to be convinced our shithouse owners won't be in this till the end

Ornstein's as good a source as you're going to get in football journalism. Former head honcho at BBC sport, now with the Athletic.
 
punished for what exactly? proposing something that wasn't sanctioned and withdrawing

They didn't just propose it though, did they? They/people in their clubs were leaving organisations in preparation to begin this ESL.

Unfortunately, I don't see anything else but the clubs being forgiven and this being forgotten about. I'd also wish for these teams to suffer the consequences, but at this point, there's no legal standing for sanctions against them. We can only hope that the fans continue to voice their dismay at these owners/execs and ensure that they aren't forgiven.

I agree that this is likely what will happen but that's what I mean in terms of hoping they receive a bit more punishment. I don't think the fans will continue to punish them with voices of dismay, they'll forget about it next season.

What punishment would you like?

Something to push Everton up the table?
Every player and fan was vehemently against this so the punishment has to be directed at the board.

Which is fair, so distributing more of the PL money to the rest of the footballing pyramid and away from these parasites - exactly what they were trying to get away from with this ESL - would be beautiful.

This is what makes me convinced that this wasn’t just some negotiating ploy or anything like that, all those resignations. Surely they won’t be able to walk back into those jobs? I really do think this was just poorly thought out and the reaction to it was underestimated. I do not underestimate just how out of touch some of these people are.
 
This has been Ed's most embarrassing failure yet. And that says something. To come out with a shitty project like that which crumbled within a couple of days after it's confirmation surely means he has to go now? This guy is no longer nger bearable at this club. Glazers should be hunted out of the club as well.
