Cockney blue scabs
Cockney red scabs
Cockney white scabs
Scouse red scabs
Manc blue scabs
Manc red scabs...


That is how they should all be referred to for ever more IMO...

That's much better than my "Traitor #1" through "Traitor #6" that I would have amended their names to in the record book.

Solve a problem by throwing more money at it. lol lol

You couldn’t make it up. Although it appears they just do.

Not sure this changes a whole lot. The super league is about guaranteed qualification and control of how the finances are distributed.

Apart from the wild card CL format from 2024 giving likes of Liverpool automatic entry you mean...

As if our last derby was a win at mordor, hahaha sniff it you rats. Soon we will be in a world without kopites and I can’t wait

.....and this is good because.....?

It just gets them the more money that they want!! They should be getting less money.

ALL clubs should be getting less money. It all needs to start again.

 

[Frenk]

It should be too late for them, they should be shamed, dragged through the gutter and have rotten fruit thrown at them. But, we know it will all be forgiven and forgotten about by those running the sport soon enough, until there is another power struggle that is.

Levy is an employee of a ENIC, a Bahamas registered subsidiary of the Tavistock Group owned by currency manipulator, Joe Lewis, who made an absolute killing off the Black Wednesday currency crisis in 1992.

Levy is no more in charge of Tottenham than you or me.

Just because he answers to someone doesn't mean that he isn't in charge of day-to-day operations.

I would imagine that he doesn't have much of a mandate other than 'don't cack it up'. This is, after all, what you have employees in charge of day-to-day operations for.

 

[toffee-L]

a cynic would wonder was this the plan all along?

Unlikely. Why would the 12 clubs go through all of the trouble of revoking their ECA memberships and ostracizing themselves from everyone else?

This is likely some UEFA fluff piece to make it look like they're looking for additional revenue sources to dissuade any other clubs from bolting. If they can make it appear that they will be able to match these licensing fees that the SL is proclaiming then there's no reason for any other club to join given the legal minefield the 12 traitors currently find themselves in.

It's probably right to look at this whole thing cynically given the shady characters involved, but Alexsander Ceferin came across as a man yesterday who wanted to blow his entire pension on hiring a hitman to go and kneecap Agnelli and Woodward.

UEFA have taken, by far, the strongest position against these 12 clubs so far.

Who is Kevin Spacey?

do they have any old wizened heads who speak truth to power but are also largely to blame and do what they are told anyway?

 

[number4.]

The lad is confused and lost. It all went wrong when Pickford assaulted his hero.

Yes the handle I have had on here years prior to his move to Liverpool is all about my hero. I just plan ahead like that.

 

[Death]

City now tweeting opposition to something they have joined

How is that possible. Dont they have control over they're twitter. This is all madness.

 

[Khalekan]

On the 2nd point, can they do that?

I mean what I find interesting, is for a goverment known for sleaze they've made no attempt to buy them off before it was made public. That seems another very amateur mistake. You'd box the government off.

Yes, they can.

The Grand National, the Derby, the F.A. Cup Final cannot have a monopoly briadcaster.

They are one off events....but as far as I know, Wimbledon also falls under the auspices of the ruling.

That's much better than my "Traitor #1" through "Traitor #6" that I would have amended their names to in the record book.

The Palace forum was leading with Americanised names for the London Scab clubs and came up with;
The Tottenham Whites
The Chelsea Blues
The Arsenal Crap

....work in progress obviously.

Who cares about money? I want to watch and support Everton. If I can support a team that's about the fans, the players and a honest game, I don´t care what league we are in or how much money some vulture owners make or not.

I agree although I want Everton to have the chance of actually being able to win something.

Otherwise whats the point in all the stress following a football club when you're guaranteed to only make up the numbers forever?
