    But its hard to take lectures from someone who when he decides a player isn’t good enough can just go out and spend tens of millions on a replacement without thinking because a billionaire gives him the money.

    Not all clubs have that which is hwy we are in this mess
    it doesn't matter how much money we spent on a new player, Arteta would probably play them out of position or shun them altogether because they didn't run around enough traffic cones...

    Yes yes, OK. Pep > Arteta. No argument there.
    But it's kinda amusing for organisations or individuals who have had their snouts firmly in the trough for years, decades even, now whining because the big clubs are threatening to make their own trough.

    Reuters reporting that a court in Spain has blocked UEFA from banning the super league/blocking players from playing in the EUROs etc.

    Assuming that court order stays in place, its game over for uefa. There is no punishment they can bring and the super league is going ahead

    The PL have rejected the plans.



    What does that mean?! . That's like me rejecting the plans for a wedding I'm not invited to. What am I going to do? Not go?

    If I were those 14 PL clubs (and the lower leagues) I’d be milking this for everything I could get! The ‘big 6’ are going to need to recruit players from somewhere, and Brexit certainly won’t make that any easier...

    Always knew this wouldnt fly. Its plainly illegal and would breach the fundamental rights of each player in every club. Im sure the Eurpoean court will strike Uefa down too.

    BBC reporting Chelsea are drawing up paperwork to quit the ESL


    The worst thing about that is that they will be treated as hero’s for doing “the right thing” despite them being the cause of this entire mess in first place

    Edit: now City are being reported as pulling out as well.

    ESL. It had a good run

    What a shambles.

    The whole thing will collapse, the 6 clubs will come crawling back but what they’ve done won’t be forgotten by their own fans or anyone else.
