No coincidence that there were at least 3 American parties involved in all of this - Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal. Plus the American backer - jp morgan.

Numero Uno Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Sometimes it takes drastic action to get the message across because as sure as night follows day most of the slags involved in the ESL will be beavering away in the background on the next iteration of the plan......

There's protesting legitimately, as the fans did last week with great success (and BTW the ESL isn't going to be forgotten because there are repercussions to follow for the teams) and those hell bent on trashing everything in sight. They could have protested peacefully outside the ground and the hotel. Now the game is unlikely to go on and the club will surely get further punishment. Is that really what the genuine fans want?

True. And once it turns violent it attracts more of those sorts - as most demonstrations illustrate. A load of those who turned up for an innocent protest will now get lumped in with the nutters and be getting an early morning call from the old bill.

Nah, enough is enough, fans gotta sort this out themselves So if the flare had hit someone, ‘nah it’s fine fans are just sorting it out themselves’ protest sure, even breaking into the stadium fine, but just occupy the pitch, no need for causing damage and the launching flares at people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Notgetinya Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Maybe those that have so much negativity towards our owners will be a little more grateful now. They care about our club, have spent millions on infrastructure, run it well and they do listen. Things aren’t great on the pitch but we are still a championship club and they’ve landed the experienced manager we all wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Unless they are prepared to wait until tonight this game will not take place. You are looking at a minimum 90 minutes from leaving the hotel to kicking off and the teams are still at their hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t guarantee a small group of fans hasn’t found their way into an obscure part of the stadium and could reappear mid game. the other thing to bare in mind is games take place because the stadiums are Covid bubbles, has that not been ‘burst’?

Which makes it even harder to stage the game today. However I bet there aren't any free dates for a rearrangement. This is a complete headache for everyone involved but then so was scurrying behind peoples backs in support of a ESL. Hard lines lads......chickens coming home to roost.

Me and my slight conspiracy theorist (in a football sense) still wonders if FIFA at any stage even if only for a time, were still more involved in this Super League debacle than they let on! https://www.cityam.com/top-english-clubs-and-jp-morgan-in-talks-over-6bn-european-super-league/ Quote Financiers are now assembling a $6bn funding package to assist the launch of the venture, which, if successful, could be one of the sport’s most lucrative competitions. Wall Street titan JP Morgan is said to be in talks to provide the debt financing, which would be repaid from future broadcast revenue generated by the competition. Other banks are also expected to join financing of the project. As many as five English clubs could sign up to the league, while teams from France, Germany, Italy and Spain are said to be involved. The would-be competition has floated a provisional start date as early as 2022. Sources said Fifa, the international governing board for football, had been involved in developing the new league, which would consist of up to 18 teams and hold fixtures during the normal European season. The tournament would then conclude with a knockout round between the highest-placed clubs in the league, with the winners set to pocket hundreds of millions of pounds in prize money. Sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it- not as if FIFA and UEFA aren't strategic rivals either. Bit further back. https://apnews.com/article/europe-doha-gianni-infantino-champions-league-sports-europe-ff4a181899a4738c4c7c6ab6ee9439fe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaching the settlement could hurt though- 100m fine if they try this again, 50m euros fine if they breach any other part of the settlement. With respect to the 3 holdouts... Quote But Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have refused to approve what UEFA on Friday called “reintegration measures” and they will be referred to UEFA disciplinary bodies for sanctions after backing the new largely closed competition, meaning they could be banned from the Champions League. Need to hit all 3 and hit them hard- though I'd have liked to have seen all 12 get a bit of hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
