    I'd still like to see fan ownership more broadly implemented, but your suggestion would be easier to implement.
    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?

    I don't expect anything from government. All talk when the people are talking, and then drop it when the interest wanes. But FIFA and UEFA (who have somehow come out of this as victims) could pass that rule regarding residency.

    Note how the clubs with billionaire "football fans" as owners (those who actually spent their own money) were the first to listen to their fans and pull out. (PSG owners didn't even need their fans to tell them this was crap- " no relegation" - anyone who grew up with football as their first sport would spit at this)

    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.
    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.

    Chelsea can fuck right off with their attempt to play the good guys too! The only reason they’ve pulled out is because Roman needs Chelsea to legitimise his money and he needs to keep the UK sweet. He’s already hanging by a thread as it is after Russia’s antics in recent years.

    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.

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.
    Wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’ve all been muzzled by NDAs. Americans love an NDA!

    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.

    The system needs to be fixed.
    The one moment of sincerity in the whole heap.

    How did that go for them?

    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.
