What a joke. Sanction them anyway. Points deductions will do.

Absolutely agree there needs to be sanctions. This isn't some spur of the moment thing they misjudged this was a conscious premeditated attempt to seize the game to which they didn't anticipate this level of opposition. 

These clubs now realise that they cant just do what they want, that needs reinforced with a strong punishment. 

[Displaced Rover]

These clubs should still be subject to sanctions. Hefty points deductions. Ideally you'd punish the owners not the fans but not sure how you'd do that.

I do believe these Americans will come again. They don't give a shit about history and sporting integrity and they'll just see this as a temporary setback.

The positive is that UK Gov will push though the Review

[OldEwoodBlue]

Well it distracted us from Mowbray for 24 hours. Similar shambles.

[RoverDom]

A lines been crossed, this is not over. Proper reform is needed to club ownership, player wages and agent regulation.

[RoverDom]

Woodward gone.

The Real Madrid boss is going to look like a dick after his comments earlier today. 

He was giving it the billy big potatoes..... none of you can stop it or punish us! 

Now everyone drops out hours later including the 2 Spanish rivals potentially. 

Oooops. 😀

Ed Woodward gone at ManU - piqued at ESL collapse or impending financial trouble at Old Trafford?

Either way, big clubs in turmoil

Long may it continue

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Shock news, Rovers to replace anyone leaving says Mrs Desai.

[Mr. E]

yep 99.9% certain this nonsense is dead now, but the big threat I mentioned before remains - that the CL is pushed even more into the direction of the big clubs' liking. There was talk about some positive reform happening in football, I hope this doesn't kill those hopes too.

Official announcement on Woodward's to be made at 9pm when the New York Stock Market closes.

It's looking like Blaugrana, Los Blancos and Die Bayern are going to be able to play with La Vecchia Signora on their own, without any Brits fucking it up for them! 🤣

Spurs v Arsenal every week.

A cunning plan

[DE.]

City and Chelsea were the clubs who benefited least from the ESL. Neither are in financial trouble and both have been regularly relevant as far as the PL title and Champions League are concerned in recent years. None of the other clubs can tick both boxes as far as criteria is concerned, so it's no wonder they were the first two to pull out. Their FOMO disappeared when they realised the sheer weight of opposition was about to crush the ESL before it ever got off the ground

The pair of them along with every other club involved should still be heavily sanctioned, though.  

[Mike E]

Send them to the Vanarama leagues. 3 North, 3 South. Fuck them.

Also a quick fix redistribution of funds down the pyramid with gate receipts for those clubs down there.

[DE.]

Looking like the failure of the ESL may prompt the Glazers to sell Man Utd.

City withdraw officially.
