Given they have released a statement this morning still pushing for pretty much the same idea but under the banner of UEFA reform I would say a ban from this and next seasons CL competition and a domestic points deduction is the minimum

So roughly translated ‘As the richest clubs we have become the self appointed voice of what’s good for football and are annoyed you all stopped us getting our lucrative closed shop competition. Despite universal disapproval of our scheme we are so deluded we still think it’s a great idea so...

Barcelona and Athletico have withdrawn

This is just weird one of the founder clubs posting criticism through its own Twitter page. The manager then asking the president of the committee to explain the decision when he could just ask his boss. https://twitter.com/mancity/status/1384506556025245699?s=21

I would guess the achievement would be who has the fattest envelope

Dropping the idea is first step I agree as whatever we think of these clubs they have genuine fans who respect the history and are gutted by this move. What concerns me about these owners though is this is not the first time they have acted in this way as our own statement highlighted ‘These...

Players and managers getting far too easy a ride here IMO, where are the players and managers side by side with the rest of football standing against this? Like pay cuts in the pandemic we will see them sitting on the sidelines waiting to see where the money goes. Let’s see how the weeks pan...

I guess it’s down to what they mean by ‘enter’ RULE L9 Except with the prior written approval of the Board, during the Season a Club shall not enter or play its senior men's first team in any competition other than: L.9.1 the UEFA Champions League L.9.2 the UEFA Europa League L.9.3. the FA Cup...

Even if they back down from it they signed up and keep pushing it and these clowns need to be hounded out of the game. As our statement and UEFA have said this is a consistent push from these clubs and needs stamping on

As interesting as all of the statement are it will take more than these and funny T-shirt’s to stop this and I am hoping to see some clear and direct action and positioning from the PL, UEFA and FIFA this week. It would also be nice to see the PFA and LMA threaten direct action on behalf of...

They can go and take the expensive players and wages with them as that is a huge part of the problem and a driver behind the greed. If it resulted in a reset of a more competitive and financially sustainable PL with lower prices for fans that would be a great thing for the English game. The...

He is one of the managers who made his name as leading one of the smaller clubs competing in the CL maybe he has had a say and been sacked

The club will voice an opinion on it but probably after the PL have had theirs as we do things professionally. The voice of anyone at the Albion is not going to influence this only the collective voice and actions of fans, players and managers and actual sanctions being imposed for this move...

The match attending fan base is dwarfed by the global TV audience and markets. They don’t care about the fans in stadiums and the local community they are taking the ‘product’ where they can get the most cash for it. Football fans and culture as we all understand it is being thrown under...

Are they still announcing it tonight or have all the threats from the domestic and national game made them bottle it ?

Like any of the players if a big club come calling then anything is possible. However don’t think the big clubs really take punts on managers so would have to do something extraordinary to get on their radar.

Sheffield United look like a side just going through the motions hoping the season ends as soon as possible

Looks like could be some players dropped due to a house party. Leicester fans will be raging if true https://twitter.com/garylineker/status/1381237048007344131?s=21

I have been really interested by this as about 4 years ago I had glandular fever and went onto have symptoms which are almost identical to those being reported with long Covid. It started off with collapsing in hotel rooms at the end of days when working away and was then driven home by a...
