TeaCider24 12,401 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just watched the actual interview segment, now it's been released, and Warnock was massively led in to his answer by the journalist's question and still stuck to the not knowing enough about it line. I genuinely worry Gibson wanted the Super League to happen to pick up the scraps. The silence has been damning. Thankfully the whole venture has collapsed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Warnock just didn't want to get involved? He's got enough on his plate as it is, and it's not like he's going to be involved in the breakaway or indeed in football for that much longer. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I don't blame Warnock for dodging the questions, but I do blame the club for staying silent. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 If anyone is interested in the latest Perez interview, here's a live thread link: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/mvqb6x/livethread_florentino_pérezs_rescheduled/ Some beauties include: Quote I am quite sad and disappointed. We have been working on this Super League project for 3 years, to fight against the economic problems we were going through. Quote All the threats, insults.. It was as if we had killed football! Football must be saved. Quote One of the 6 Premier League clubs did not have much of an interest in the Super League, and that began to wear off on the others. They were never convinced of the project. Quote If this project didn't work, another one will. Remember: All the 12 clubs signed a legally binding contract. Quote The English teams left because of the hostile atmosphere. UEFA have put on a display that has surprised me. We asked to speak to the UEFA President, and it was as if we had dropped an atomic bomb. Quote Young people no longer watch football. 40% of 16-24 year olds do NOT watch football. Quote You can't get out of the Super League just like that. The contracts that all 12 clubs signed were legally binding. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

White Band 831 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Sky clearly didn't get Woodgate's memo about it being more difficult to play against ten men. 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites

No sooner than England have left, Scotland will use it as their base for the tournament! Hope we've charged a decent price like 👀 Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I love the Real Madrid president Perez stating the 9 clubs can't leave the Super League as its a binding contract. I'm sure FIFA, UEFA and the billionaire owners of the 9 clubs will be quaking in their boots knowing that a contract might have been breached. Looks like its red nose week in Madrid what an idiot.

TLF10 4,440 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 So Swansea draw with Reading means all the play off spots are now sorted. All that needs deciding is who finishes where between 3rd to 6th. I hope to God Sheff Wed beat Forest next week and Swansea beat Derby. The final day game between Derby v Sheff Wed could be a real cracker. Although my hope is Rotherham survive and both other two join Wycombe going down Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Big Nige having a stinker at Bristol. Lost 7 of his 13 games in charge. Went from leading 2 nil to losing 3-2 at home to Luton today. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 So who are we rooting for (if anyone) in the cup final? Not hugely bothered myself, but sort of hoping Spurs win it, just for the new manager to get off to a (trophy) winning start. Link to post Share on other sites

Backing Spurs purely for Ryan Mason I could not have cared less if Jose was in charge but Ryan Mason deserves everyones well wishes after what he has been through in recent years. Since his forced retirement from the game he has appeared as a pundit on few occasions and comes across as a very down to earth, likeable lad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 imagine the difference this would make if it were put into the championship or even spread across all of the football league. Insanity. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Insanity. I might be imagining this, but I'm sure I've seen the EFL have been fighting for that exact thing, that we should get the rest of their parachute money. Link to post Share on other sites
