Roiling football blather

[Murphy]

Neutrality, cheap heroin and covert banking sounds like a FIFA plot

Sad state of affairs when PSG are on the right side of a footballing argument about money (and other things)

 

[IdleRich]

Seems Chelsea are pulling out of Superleague after fan protests.... Guardiola has criticised City's involvement.... Ed Woodward has resigned though I dunno precisely why.

 

[IdleRich]

I´m reading Agnelli has resigned too.... is this cos of the pushback?

 

[IdleRich]

So looks like it's dead in the water with a bit of luck.

 

[IdleRich]

Juventus are saying Agnelli hasn't resigned after all.

 

[IdleRich]

I think it was a fake account and everyone reported it as real.

 

[hucks]

This is objectively hilarious. Hats off to all involved.

 

[Leo]

I don't follow this stuff and even I'm amused at how quickly this major initiative appears to have crashed and burned. how could they have not expected this reaction and outcome? hubris?

 

[IdleRich]

I think it was a load of foreign (mainly US) owners who didn't understand the culture and depth of feeling.... and Agnelli who is a cunt.*

It is being very widely reported that Arsenal are about to release a statement announcing their withdrawal from the Super League project, with Liverpool not far behind. Meanwhile the chief Manchester United reporter on the Manchester Evening News has tweeted that United are also out.

*I could have said Perez here.

 

[IdleRich]

But I think they thought they would meet some initial resistance and then when Juve v Barca rolled around all the fans would watch it anyway. I thought the same.

 

[IdleRich]

Milan withdrawing now is the word on the street...

 

[Leo]

things move quickly nowadays.

 

[Murphy]

No lols at Mourinho, damn, the biggest cock in world football gets sacked, from Spurs too

 

[IdleRich]

They're reporting him as the only manager to be sacked in the entire history of the Super League.

C.O.Y.S.

Jah Wobble has weighed in....

And verily every one of the 6 accursed tribes had , in order to atone , to offer up in sacrifice , not only the favourite son, but the father himself, so they would then go accursed , and much diminished (points docked), into the desert , where there was no fruit or sustenance

 

[IdleRich]

The Super League is releasing an official statement tonight saying that the competition is MOVING FORWARD, and that English clubs are NOT included

Next a statement saying that Dukla Prague are?

 

[IdleRich]

It looks as though Inter and AC are pulling out... but it's still going ahead with, er, the Spanish clubs and Juventus?
