Much as I fooling hate hit club he is a very principled guy. 26 minutes ago, stewarty66 said: Needs a few other managers to come out with this response. Agreed, Ole's statement wasn't what I'd expect of a Man U manager, so thankfully we have a director who has called them all out on it. Hats of Sir Alex. 26 minutes ago, stewarty66 said: Hopefully Pep and the others follow his lead. All of them need to come out and call it for what it is. 26 minutes ago, stewarty66 said: Wherever Mourinho goes now it seems to end in tears after 18 months to a couple of years. He is yesterday's man, his style of managing will work for a short time and then it all comes crashing down around his ears. 26 minutes ago, stewarty66 said: Any manager though that works under that cockroach Daniel Levy must know they are taking a chance. He's an odious little c**t. Agreed again, absolute tool of a man, but Woodward is worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially they might lose more often but eventually they would improve. But assuming they were included in an ESL2/Atlantic League/whatever, similar sized clubs would also get the same amount of money and look to sign the same players. Difference is that they would then be competing against Ajax, Porto etc rather than Scottish clubs. They wouldn’t suddenly turn into Real Madrid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackpomm Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Introduce a Windfall Tax on supra normal revenues. The same has been applied to the oil industry, why not football? Or penal rates of tax on revenue streams obtained from competition to which there is no progression route from domestic competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because only Pep has spent any money eh? get a grip, IMO NO manager or indeed director of a club with the club at heart and football at heart will support this. we’ve rightly praised your clubs manager, but let’s not kid on your clubs owners aren’t bollock deep in this s**t. The glazers are about as welcome at OT as a dose of the clap, but they’re kick deep in this too.

You’re right about the yanks though. Only concerned about money and made football club into more of a franchise. Who wants to go to anfield/old Trafford to be baws deep into a 10” pizza at half time? f**k right off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate Peter Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Fans are disregarded and feel powerless. They always will be unless the vast majority of them boycott this new 'league.' Maybe the business model for this thing will be less reliant on real fans who turn out for the games in normal times but it won't have any value to broadcasters, advertisers or sponsors if people refuse to take any interest. That would kill it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Actually have very little sympathy for UEFA, the Premier league or Rangers or Celtic. Sky made this by putting billions into the Premier league. They then buy the SPFL for a pittance and only show games at a time that doesn't conflict with a West brom wolves for example. It's the equivalent of Rangers signing Greg Stewart to put him on the bench so we can't play him. They don't value Scottish football they just want other channels to have it in case it draws some of their viewers away. Rangers and Celtic also don't care about Scottish football and would be away from the SPFL to the epl at the drop of a hat. No condemation from the media about that one. UEFA are just annoyed because this league will take money away from then, so is the epl and their product is not as lucrative without the big 6. Don't actually mind if it goes ahead 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland has one of the worst tv deals in Europe and that would raise income to the levels the teams you quote have. If Killie had the tv money that most clubs outside of the top four/five leagues have we would be able to attract better managers and players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guff92 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 More from Jurgen Klopp: "I'm 53. Since I've been in professional football, the Champions League has been there. My aim was always to coach a team there. I have no issues with the Champions League. "I like the competitive aspect of football. I like that West Ham might play in the Champions League. I don't want them to because we want to but I like they have the chance. What can I say? It's not easy. "What I want to say as well, I've heard a few things but what I really don't like, Liverpool football club is much more than some decisions. The most important part of football are the supporters and the team. We have to make sure nothing gets between that. I've heard there are banners but the players didn't do anything wrong. We have to all stick together. We can show nobody has to walk alone in these moments. There are things to sort but nothing to do with the football or the relationship between the supporters and the team. "In tough times you have to show you stick together. It doesn't mean you have to agree with everything but again the boys did nothing wrong. I want to make sure everyone knows that. "I understand it. I am in a different position. I don't have all informations. I don't know exactly why the 12 clubs did it. I know some things will change with football in the future. Some things have to change in football that is for sure. "Usually you have to prepare these kinds of things, it takes time." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the guy said he's against it so that's good, but he never quite spoke out against it in the manner I thought he might do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
