Michael W Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Statements now coming out, and they are telling. Liverpool and Man Utd's are basically the same. Very short, no apologies and no expression of regret. Pretty clear who the ringleaders of this were, although I think we already knew that. Arsenal's is quite apologetic but is also telling of a poor attitude. They went along with it because they didn't want to feel left behind. In other words, were not prepared to stand up for themselves. Edited April 20, 2021 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I suppose not although to be fair, I think it’s pretty clear that none of the fans, players or even the managers of these clubs have liked or supported the idea. They probably don’t deserve a hard time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Utd and Liverpool owners will still be pushing for automatic Champions League entry and the riches that go with it. They will get their own way in the end The last three days has surely weakened their hand to the extent it's probably not worth owning the clubs any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big clubs will get off scot free because as the philosopher Lemar Obika once sang "there's not much justice in the world."

Arse covering after making a colossal f**k up, we've all been there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Isn't Mundo Deportivo a 'Barca' publication? Can't see them wanting to shield Perez, though grated Barca are a financial basket case so this is bad news for them. Either way, I find this suggestion pretty fanciful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's collapsed far too quickly for me I think it was the end game. The owners/presidents all got together in a room not having a clue about why fans love football, planning an nfl style of the game, and totally misread the actual opinions of everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riot at Barcelona 1972 Riot at Aston Villa 1976 Riot at Chesterfield 1980 Riot at Hampden 1980 Riot at Manchester 2008 Riot in Glasgow 2012 when your club died. OK I made the last one up, but there is a common theme. When your club needed you most there was no fighting spirit amongst the fans to save your club. You will be forever remembered for being the fans that let their club DIE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The victory for the good guys stuff this will be reported as will be nauseating. No lessons will be learned and football will continue down a similar path. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Genuinely LOLed at Sky's footage of the moment where protesting Chelsea fans wildly celebrated the news that the club were pulling out. The plastic c***s barely even put that amount of effort into celebrating goals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory for the people etc etc You'd think it was 1950s football they're referring to the way they've been talking about the current era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent days, the club has received representations from various key stakeholders, both internally and externally, and we would like to thank them for their valuable contributions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
