I'd thought it be weird if they did him like Jim Buss

Not sure if its just a matter of semantics but 'suspended' instead of disbanded sounds suspicious...

just to add to my **** all media stance from earlier. All these tv channels been heavy on anti-esl because they don’t want to either A) bid/pay on another league for rights. B) be stuck with useless uefa rights that no one cares about. Hence why everyone and they mama has gotten a platform to tell you how terrible esl is.. It’s always about the money they could care less about us or clubs like burnley...

but come on guys lets be honest. Seeing Arsenal get clapped by Barca on one wednesday then Juve the week after then Real after that would've been so sweet. adding in barely scraping by with Fulham on Saturday

I love the fact the teams took it in their own hands and wanted more say on the money. What sucks is Uefa won without having to renegotiate. At the very least they should have held on to leverage uefa. Also The fact they made it so restrictive is what didn’t sit right with me... oh also they included arsenal... **** them

On the bright side, Spurs can now add “we almost made the SL” to their trophy cabinet.

So much has happened yet nothing has happened all at the same damn time. Netflix is probably already wrapping up production.

Hell of a job by ole... I must say

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Rarest of trebles

But seriously that new cl format looks terrible

 

[flyeed]

Same people celebrating because the comps are once again about merit are going to be butthurt when Arsenal gets into the CL after finishing 9th and realizing that some clubs will be “too big to fail” with the new rules.

UEFA needs to be more transparent with their money. I think something that got past the supporters of clubs that wanted out of the ESL is that there’s a reason that the clubs were going to be able to net such absurd figures from a similar competition, while also having that massive solidarity fund. UEFA as an intermediary seems to be taking a massive cut out of the pie.

Yes it keeps the playing field more level with non-CL clubs. But it also means that our clubs are likely not earning as much as they should be relative to what they bring in. It would have been nice if transparency could have been leveraged out of UEFA but all of that is gone now.

*if I’m wrong about the lack of transparency feel free to correct me.
