Would be the right way to go
Agree it does but it says the Spanish clubs are convinced the PL clubs will come back?
Bollocks! They almost got lynched in the last 48 hours, have just flipflopped... if they flipflop again, it'll be bedlam.
Fingers crossed Real Madrid don't go bankrupt....
You can see by statements who is bitter, pissed, who feel forced to put it out and who is still trying to defend decision asking for understanding to take part in
The 6 Latin clubs.
Yes let's go, they deserve throwing out altogether.
The football fraternity now needs to focus on getting rid of the other poisonous influences such as agents, FIFA, UEFA, FA, etc, who themselves have been incompetent and are responsible for a lot of the discontent.
Honestly, this is some Thanos-level shit.
It's clear with Woodward's connection to JP Morgan that this has been the long game all along. That's why the Glazers never thought about selling the club before they could implement their disgusting grotesque version of a World Soccer League.
God I hope so. This is the first time since they took control that I’ve genuinely felt the Glazers could be convinced to sell
I really, really hope that this isn't just a hollow statement from the football bodies. They have to show the owners that football clubs aren't merely their play things. On that note, they should also extend the consequences out to Roman and Abu Dhabi.
What do you people think was the catalyst for the dismantling of the ESL? The fans’ protests? Amazon saying “no dice”? Or the first club announcing that they were going to leave?
They need to educate themselves with the mindset of British and European sports fans.
Now that would be a miracle.
What an absolute clusterfeck.
The truth hurts. (and no way do the Glazers think any differently)
It'll never happen. They cannot fathom jeopardy and transfers etc. It's not for them.
I think Spain and Italy clubs are most desparate for it.
Has to be. What can compare. It’s been mental.
we could sign Mbappe and rehire Sir Alex tomorrow and I would be surprised if it grew as fast as this thread
Perez chatting shite into the early hours of the morning?
We really are an atrocious football club these days. It's as reluctant a statement as I've ever seen and shows no sentiment towards fans at all. I hope these protests go ahead this weekend, just to voice how much we despise the way the club acts. fecking scumbags.
The people leading it were Europeans, they are well educated but were just greedier.

Government saying they'll get involved. You might have the best lawyers but they play within the rules i.e. laws.
You rewrite the rules and it doesn't matter you have the best players if someone comes to a sword fight with a bazooka.
Yeah but it was the English clubs that broke this whole thing. So if the Yanks knew their audience, they would have known this would never fly.
Who got those Earn it t-shirts done so quickly?
Leeds and Brighton wore the same ones.
Leeds and Brighton wore the same ones.
What an embarrassment for these clubs. Multi billion dollar companies acting like complete amateurs.
Stoke joined, that's why everyone else left.
Yep, they've set the idea back by decades.
They've thrown away the plan they were working on for years, burned bridges with other clubs including each other, lost authority and leverage with UEFA/FIFA and botched things so badly that clubs will be very slow to sign up to a similar fiasco again.
And that's without taking into account any actual measures that will be put in place to prevent something like this happening any time soon.
Yes, well said.
They really thought they could withstand the blowback.
And there we have it. The long-awaited answer to the question of whether Barcelona would be able to do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke.
This Bruno, Luke, & Harry line seems interesting.
I think they got immense pressure from the sponsors as sponsors don't like negativity. Some chose to go public like Liverpool's
Player reaction and the Govt.
From what I have read this was led by Perez and another Madrid banker. They managed to convince Woodward and the Italians who are of course bankrupt. Liverpool joined United and City and Chelsea were the last to join. Arsenal did not want to be left behind and Levy wanted to join by inviting himself.
The PT firm was the one used by Theresa May. Now you know why it was such a disaster in their PR.
The first clubs announcing that they weren't going to join and then the subsequent clubs declining offers.
They anticipated pushback from the fans, but I think they severely underestimated the sheer scale of public outcry that this would generate. It was bound to trigger sponsors to run for the hills. I don’t think the govt taking a tough stance helped either.
Mate, I've been having an existential crisis since Sunday!
