Mine had this.

Not a bad sort ,is she?

Offer the 6 clubs an olive branch.

Then set it on fire.

I was thinking more along the lines of the old carrot and stick method , the one one where you get a stick, shove it up their rrrs, followed by the carrot and then a bigger rougher stick. Let them know we mean business.

5 live all about our statement

 

[Amw79]

Strong statement from the board. Aligned with 99% of fans of all clubs. Hope we take that strength of attitude and feeling into the meeting with the 14 today.

That's another thing with this entire thing. European Super League is such a terrible name. Considering they're Americans, I expected more

"Cheetos-Fest"?

woof

 

[BlueStevie35]

Sensational statement from the club, pulling absolutely no punches, and it seems to suggest that we and the other clubs are going to welly down on the scabs at the meeting

The only snag is that kicking them out now makes it hard to calculate the 'results' of the remaining games to be played.

Id rather not allow them to participate with immediate effect

Very tricky.

If give them a 100pt penalty each and a 5 year european ban.

Then they are relegated with no european games and 100% reliant on domestic football.

You would soon see a new 'big six' emerge in those 5 seasons.

If you give six clubs a 100 point penalty, wouldn't it still only be the bottom three of those that get relegated?? Three go down and three come up, or am I missing something here?

Even if the PL clubs let them off the hook - these six will be footballs pariahs for a very long time.
It will ultimately filter down to the pitch every matchday - chants of Scabs etc will ring out when they're in town.
Can't see Snowflake footballer 2021 taking this very well.

Denise does not mess around.

I know he’s not popular (and frequently with good cause) but if you don’t reckon a good portion of that Board statement came from Bill Kenwright, you’re out of your mind

 

[tsubaki]

You reckon there’s a chance in HELL that they didn’t ask the reigning CL winners and beaten finalists, but did ask Tottenham and Atletico? (And Porto by all accounts!)

Yes, I do actually - what do they gain by inviting PSG?

They don’t need the French market (which is tiny and would be even less for this) and given Saudi-Qatari relations were in the gutter for most of the time this was being negotiated (though they are better now) there’d have been problems across the Middle East if a Qatari owned club was a member too.

Bayern could have been invited, but again they’ve got everything they need already.

Super league is pretty fitting for owners that are trying to emulate a competition like the 'super bowl'

 

[LocalNative]

What a statement from Everton that, properly proud of that one
