The six Premier League clubs involved in the European Super League (ESL) are set to be fined over £20m between them.

I’m yet to see any real punishment which would make these and any other clubs with similar ideas think twice 20 mil over 6 clubs is just loose change to those involved
Maybe the Premier League will issue their own punishment on top of this, I won’t hold my breath

In real terms Leeds were find more for not breaking any rules, £200k for having a kid on a public footpath look through an open fence. A joke and a non punishment for these clubs

Nice little story may be happening as Raphinha is upset about being overlooked for the Brazil squad, but he has an Italian passport and Italy are talking about poaching him. Not unusual this as our other Brazilian Rodrigo plays for Spain. Paddy should tell Southchin to do one and play for the paddies and it looks like Struijk is going to forget the Dutch and play for Belgium. Duel passports are the way forward…..
 
I remember when this all kicked off and a Burnley fan paid for an aeroplane streamer saying All lives matter. The poor bloke was trashed in the media and on telly news and sports news and local news. His fiance was also outed as slag and drunken chav. All the bloke did was say all lives matter but was branded a racist.

This will end very badly for football
If i remember he also lost his job
 
Or maybe Southampton offered him a salary that Leeds felt he didn't warrant.



Man City could want the same player but maybe he'd choose Leeds instead of them because he'd get more playing time.


absolutely, that's why I added the 'all else being equal'

there are lots of factors that influence a transfer, but you haven't lost a race if you choose not to participate

Or he was a racist who was pictured with Tommy Robinson and who's girlfriend was also sacked for a torrent of racist posts on social media.
The point being he flew a banner saying White Lives Matter what’s wrong with that, there’s no difference between that and saying Black Lives Matter if white lives matter is racist then so is black lives matter

This has been done to death and frankly I'm amazed some people still don't get it. The point being made is not that ONLY black lives matter, it's that black lives matter equally/as much/the same as every other colour. Perhaps they should have called it Black Lives Matter Too You Know ? and then maybe it would have been a bit clearer.

As soon as you put any ethnic/creed/colour on a banner then it will divide people. I obviously don't get, but IMO you and the blms supporters don't seem to get it either. Blacks are equal and have the same rights as any other ethnic group especially in Britain, but they always want more.
