    Tell you what at least he’s fronting up and not slinking away and hiding behind mealy mouthed statements
    They all still want it don’t they, he’s just honest and greedy enough to say it
    I’d love for him to publish these contracts they’ve signed

    Spot on - thing I don't get though is why the owners of Man City would undo all the goodwill they've earned from the wonderful things they've done building up a run down part of Manchester, working with the Council and fans - it seems madness for a poxy (by their standards)
    £50 mill?

    I suspect the club that keeps being mentioned as not being so keen to get involved is Man City.

    Agree - it doesn't make sense for them.

    Barcelona aren’t exactly apologetic!*

    Is this not just about laying claim to it in case other clubs want to do it instead? “We feel it is equally important to highlight the objective fact that a Court of Justice has already granted urgent legal protection as requested, thus confirming right of the initiative on the part of the founding clubs of the Super League project”

    Interesting analysis, basically this fiasco hasn't gone away.
    It's not the first time there's been an attempt and just because they had a plan that would shame Baldrick, there's every chance they'll try again.

    UEFA was originally just football's regulatory body but has changed over time to also make lots of money .
    A super League can argue EU competion law if UEFA try to stop them. That UEFA is protecting its business.

    The article's conclusion is UEFA has to use this as an opportunity to get EU and UK governments onside to allow them to firm up there rules.

    Otherwise they'll be back.
    But next time with a proper plan

    The para here about real wanting to sign mbappe says everything. The implication is that real we’re willing to rip up the foundations of football to sign one player, who could get injured, turn crap or anything. It really does illustrate how there is a lack of forward thinking with ideas like these. We are told that these multi-billionaires are masterminds of business, they’re not, they are just ambitious, greedy and arrogant. That’s basically what you need to succeed financially in life in this world.

    I’ve just invented a better system for them financially. Consider it copyrighted. I’ve posted it to myself or whatever it is you’re supposed to do.
    Here it is...now pay attention.

    1. The biggest clubs in Europe, based on salary levels, all get together at the start of the season.
    2. At that meeting they agree to pay any new players they sign it little bit less than they normally do.
    The end

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic : "I will play for Sweden. I just came back to my national team last month and someone in Madrid who has never played football in his life, wants to see me and other Footballers out of Euros and World Cup, it's insane. It's do or die. I will play for my Country. I can find another club if it continues like this. There is Malmo in Sweden for me. There is sporting Lisbon in Portugal for Cristiano and there is River plate in Argentina for Lionel Messi, these Players should be in international football, I know they're thinking exactly what am thinking although they haven't come out yet, once they come out you will see that Footballers are powerful than owners. Playing for sporting Lisbon, River plate and Malmo won't stop our qualities, but it will save football from this disaster "

    I’ve always hated Real Madrid, probably more than any other team, because they always want the best players & do just about anything to get them. They have always been scum, always will be. I’ve always said that it’s sad for the fans when a club goes bankrupt, but them, I couldn’t give a **** to!

    A paper for people who can read without moving their lips at the same time. Better stick to the Mirror.

    JP Morgan statement on the European Super League...

    “We clearly misjudged how this deal would be viewed by the wider football community and how it might impact them in the future. We will learn from this.”
