    I can see a CL alternative in the not too distant future, if JP Morgan or whoever puts up enough money then every club would be interested and they’d be lying if they said they weren’t.

    It just cannot be a closed shop though. That’s the only thing stopping it from taking off because there’a clearly enough of an appetite to get something going.

    The funniest was the “dreams can’t be bought” banner one of them had.

    I don't know about that but they wouldn't have ever been PL champions, let alone CL winners.
    They were the poster boys for buying success*, and City have shown you can do it with any club if you pump enough money in for long enough.

    *and yes, I know Utd spent big too, but they did at least earn their way to the top table with success.

    Perez saying overnight that none of the clubs have actually left the super league and if they do, they will have to pay the penalty fees.


    It’ll be interesting to how Kronke plays that one. He really should be paying the penalty fee out of his own pocket but he wont of course. Teh club will pay it and then when we buy no one in the summer, blame it on that
