Not for me. Had the chance to confirm he’s completely against it yet keeps saying he needs to see the details first. Has a go at the fans for having a go at the club, has a go at Leeds about standing up to it. I’d wager a decent sized bet that Klopp would be in charge of Liverpool for the first game if it goes ahead.Quote:

Not sure about that. Just seen him interviewed before the Leeds game and he looked like a guy struggling to be diplomatic.Quote:

He can't say that without resigning today. I think he will be gone before too long. Maybe to Bayern?Quote:

Buying a Football league club and changing its name should also be blocked. If Man.U or the like buy something like Fleetwood Town to jump over a few divisions their name should still be Fleetwood Town , even if they’re playing at Old Trafford. :greengrin
Didn't a UEFA statement last night say any clubs returning to their own leagues would have to begin in the fifth tier?Quote:

They have been told they we will be leaving, like or not.Quote:

Not in terms of history or support I wouldn't say so. Probably roughly about the same.Quote:

I think Bayern want Nagelsmann to be their next coachQuote:

They could be leaving their own league by tomorrow.

It’s hardly a Euro competition when it only involves 3 countries.
They need to get others on board or it will be tails between the legs for them.
Feels weird being on UEFAs side in this. Someone on the radio pointed out that they aren’t the good guys.
There aren’t any good guys. Just two group of horribly greedy suits that continue to fleece fans.

Would a League or an FA want 6 teams that probably don't want to compete in the cups or constantly play reserve teams? They don't need to win any competition to qualify for the Rollerball Federation. So what is the point of them other than ESL?

Hats off to Neville but Mercer takeover bid a bit closer to heart
In your opinion.Quote:

Nah. This has absolutely nothing to do with Hibs (thankfully).Quote:

Nobody, not even us Hibs supporters, is bothered about Hibs playing some Norwegian or Irish side.
Think the message of the last 24 hours, is be aware of American owners. I’m still scratching my head why Ron Gordon would buy us for football reasons, and nothing has changed this since he bought HibsQuote:

Don't agree with that at all. Ron Gordon has been good for Hibs and by all accounts seems to genuinely care for the club and it's community from those that have met him.Quote:

RG has been open about why he bought us from day 1.
He used his own cash and didn’t put us in any debt at all.
Looking for problems that simply don’t exist. RG is doing fine by us and I have absolute faith he will continue to do so.
