"the news is coming thick and fast but we are now hearing Manchester United's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward has resigned.
This we are told is not related to the European Super League."
Yeah, right ##
The detachment from the average fan is incredible.Quote:

Utter twunts
Tbh the last two days of outrage and now the collapse of the ESL have been more enjoyable then watching arsenal this season :coffee:
Well tbh pretty much anything has been more enjoyable than watching Arsenal this season...Quote:

Don't count your chickens, maybe as long as there's one other team left the Kroenkes will go for it - after all, Scotland shows two-team leagues can survive...Quote:

Wow! Just... wow! A new low, even by the Kroenkes’ incredibly low standards.
This is gonna take some topping.
This sums it up, read that last line about shares falling before they knew teams were pulling out, if the other ESL clubs have seen this, they'll know it's hitting their bottom line, at that point it really is curtains
"Bad for business?
Bill Rice
BBC Radio Manchester
Manchester United shares are down more than 6.5% on the New York Stock Exchange, in a sign that investors are concerned about the prospects for the proposed European Super League and the extra profits that might bring for the football club.
Shares are currently trading at just over $16, having started the day at $17.16.
The price had already fallen about 3% today before reports emerged of Chelsea and Manchester City withdrawing from the competition."
As all this falls apart, let's not forget that they did this...or tried to.
Wankers.
Nobody will - and the fans will be back next season... :threaten:Quote:

Well done for the demo but the irony of it.

It's good the fans all stood up as one. It's a shame it takes football to do it though. Why can't it happen in all aspects of life? These arrogant masters of the universe can be put back in their coffins, given the unity and resolve of the many who have to suffer these few.
I guess this is what happens when you sell your soul to a well!! (yeah, yeah.....just reminded me of something biblical).Quote:

I will repeat this over and over again, Kronke is easily the worst thing to happen to Arsenal in a generation...honestly the harm he has done to us will only properly be measured by Historians when they look back. Never has the feelings of hollowness and emptiness pervaded this club the way it does now.....and this emanates directly from this zombie of an owner.
It would be great if this whole shameful debacle led to he and his journeymen yank owners ( those who can't be bothered to understand the culture of the game) selling off or being forced to sell off by the government or someone else.
It really stinks to be an Arsenal fan with this kind of leadership. To think chavs and citeh fans will firmly get more respect than us now. Wow, the lows keep coming.
Why not just pass a rule that owners have to be resident in the same country as the club they own? That means they couldn't buy clubs across Europe, it would also bring them closer to the consequences of their actions. And if you aren't resident then you have to pay a 100% tax on earnings. Actually, make it 110%.Quote:

Bear in mind, the staff and the players found out just a couple of hours before we did. These owners don't respect anyone. Not their staff, not the fans and certainly not the traditions and history of the club. All the vitriol should be reserved for the Kroenkes. I think it would be unfair to level it at the team or the club in general. There are different reasons to be angry at the players of course. But I don't think they were involved in this particular shambles in any way.Quote:

Yeah, that too. The vultures have shown their hand. Now let the champion of the people, Boris, put his money where his mouth is. Or will he just slink away and forget all about his rehearsed outrage?Quote:

They’ve absolutely torn our club’s soul apart. Passion and pride? Gone. Decency and class? Gone. Entertainment? There’s still some comedy value, I guess. Victory through harmony? Need to take that down! We’ve literally been eaten alive from the inside by a parasite and there’s nothing left but a shell.Quote:

And of course PSG’s owners hold rights to broadcast Champions League football through BeINSports, and they’re pretty much guaranteed qualification every year, so they win either way.
Can’t believe UEFA, FIFA, the PL, the oligarchs and Gulf-state-owned clubs and Boris Johnson are scoring points as the saviours of football! Be afraid of what’s just happened here.
Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve all been muzzled by NDAs. Americans love an NDA!Quote:

An open letter of apology. :haha:
Apology not accepted.
Off you fuck :tiphat:
Listening to Pep and Klopp, it sounds like they genuinely weren't told anything. Usually when people are muzzled they openly say they can't comment. But both of them were clearly battling surprise as they tried to find the right words (in a foreign language) to walk right up to the line but not cross it.Quote:

The system they think that needs to be fixed is the one that prevents them squeezing every last penny for themselves. Pure unadulterated greed and they as good as admitted it there.
Shame, I was looking forward to it.
Exactly.Quote:

With all due respect to the board, a good first step here would be for Arsenal to appoint a new board (and give it more than ceremonial powers).Quote:
