[Sir Tigger KC]

Well this is proving controversial! 

It's a good little wheeze though for the clubs involved, so that they get to play guaranteed European footie every year without having to qualify, nor get relegated.  Kerrrrrrching! 

I wonder though if they've really thought this thing through properly and whether they counted on getting kicked out of the EPL, FA Cup and other competitions?

I hope you are not suggesting that money could be the motivation.....

I'm sure the clubs have the best interest of the fans at heart.

What is this?

Philanthropy.....

[Sir Tigger KC]

It makes perfect sense for a club like Arsenal though, who were used to getting a Champions League spot every year, but now they're shite and inhabit midtable territory so they don't get that spot anymore, it's meant a massive hit to the clubs finances.  Then there's covid....

I just don't think they reckoned on getting banned by FIFA, UEFA, the FA, the EPL, Boris and anyone else with a vested interest!

They haven't been real clubs for decades. They are businesses, football matches are their products and the supporters are the customers. Anybody who doesn't like their business practices should stop paying them,


My Dad says his grandfather, who had played for Wycombe Wanderers as a younger man, in the predicted in the early sixties that sport in football would quickly take a back seat to money. That was before the enormous sums they now handle.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I agree with the above.
People who are complaining that this move is just about sheer greed must have been asleep for the last 25 years at least.
Its been about nothing but money since then.

Real football, played for the sheer joy of it, is when when a group of 10 year old boys put down their jumpers and use them as goalposts......and then, when the game is over, share a bottle of orange Corona without worrying what they might catch from their mates.

Young boys. On remand. Car stereos for goalposts.

Young boys. On remand. Car stereos for goalposts footballs. 

Seems more likely

They think it's all over....

Not sure why this is the main only news story the BBC are covering and government ministers are now wasting their time pontificating over it.

I thought we were in the middle of a pandemic, but apparently a bunch of overgrown schoolboys who haven't evolved from playground games are the most important issue there is.

It's because somebody has got to make some money to prop up the economy.

This is the only football related thing I’ve enjoyed for a long time. 😂
