[Football] EARN IT Champions League Protest Shirts vs Chelsea

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Do board members still get together with their opposite numbers at games in these covid times? Hope so. Things could get AWKWARD

Meanwhile... secret phone calls are being placed from the US to Europe....

Glazer: Florentino? It's Joel.
Perez: Problem?
Glazer: You could say that.
Perez: What? Don't tell me governments across Europe are legislating against the Project?
Glazer: It's worse than that I'm afraid. The other clubs have only gone had 'warm-up' shirts printed.
Perez: Warm-up shirts?! No! Why didn't we see that coming? It's finished!

Press reporting all other teams will be wearing the T-Shirts at games, so I presume that's us tonight.

Everton first to release full on statement on their website:

Everton is saddened and disappointed to see proposals of a breakaway league pushed forward by six clubs.

Six clubs acting entirely in their own interests.

Six clubs tarnishing the reputation of our league and the game.

Six clubs choosing to disrespect every other club with whom they sit around the Premier League table.

Six clubs taking for granted and even betraying the majority of football supporters across our country and beyond.

At this time of national and international crisis - and a defining period for our game - clubs should be working together collaboratively with the ideals of our game and its supporters uppermost.

Instead, these clubs have been secretly conspiring to break away from a football pyramid that has served them so well.

And in that Pyramid Everton salutes EVERY club, be it Leicester City, Accrington Stanley, Gillingham, Lincoln City, Morecambe, Southend United, Notts County and the rest who have, with their very being, enriched the lives of their supporters throughout the game's history. And vice versa.

The self-proclaimed Super Six appear intent on disenfranchising supporters across the game - including their own - by putting the very structure that underpins the game we love under threat.

The backlash is understandable and deserved – and has to be listened to.

This preposterous arrogance is not wanted anywhere in football outside of the clubs that have drafted this plan.

On behalf of everyone associated with Everton, we respectfully ask that the proposals are immediately withdrawn and that the private meetings and subversive practises that have brought our beautiful game to possibly its lowest ever position in terms of trust end now.

Finally we would ask the owners, chairmen, and Board members of the six clubs to remember the privileged position they hold – not only as custodians of their clubs but also custodians of the game. The responsibility they carry should be taken seriously.

We urge them all to consider what they wish their legacy to be.

Sour grapes at it not being SUPER SEVEN? Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Or they’re as pissed off about it as we all should be.

Well done Everton. I hope we release a similar statement.

Didn't realise you were American and don't understand sarcasm?!

I shall include clear [SARCASM]indicators[/SARCASM] next time.

 

[Official Old Man]

We have to do or say something tonight. It's a game shown around the world and we must show our opposition.
BUT, could UEFA ask us not to use their logo or world Leeds have their approval in advance?

If you're thinkng of a career in comedy, don't, stick to the day job, whatever it is!

Now THAT'S sarcasm!

 

[Beanstalk]

I would imagine that we will put out a firm statement before the game and that is that. Something equalling the strength of Everton's.

Stand, together.

That is what is needed, not pointless cheap shots against those we both can help and need help from.

[boik]

Knowing cuddly Brighton , the shirt will read good luck X

Or maybe the shirt will read "Can I have your shirt?". ;-)

Maybe on BDB’s

I obviously wasn't thinking.
