Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 How embarrasing for them. Wonder if a couple of the American owners will be looking to sell up now they know they can't do this. And they've thrown away any leverage they previously had with uefa.

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Lol - now they can't wait to leave. Did they really not foresee the level of backlash that would greet this idea? Link to post Share on other sites

There's too much potential money involved for the people who want this to just walk away from it. They'll just try and get more people onside if possible. Although there is nothing at all to stop a group of wealthy people getting together and starting up their own competition. Then it just comes down to whether you can get the players involved or not. You get the players and you'll get a lot of fans, maybe not us legacy fans, but lots and lots of other fans around the world. Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Woodward has just resigned from utd This scheme is done right now clearly but the basic idea hasn't gone away. Let's just see what happens next in regards to action against the clubs involved, and changes to how football is organised/governed. I'm predicting next to nothing will change.
