Does this finish of the daft idea for good?
We’re always being told it’ll happen eventually, money will talk and so on. But money hasn’t talked here, thankfully.
what a loady nonsense this has all been :greengrin
Juventus president has also resigned.
A lesson in fan power.
We in Scotland really could have things more our way if we did this kind of thing more often. Especially up here, boards rely on ticket revenue so much. I hope when we return to stadiums better organising takes place to kick out the elements of modern football we despise.
Well done to the fans of all the 'big six', but by god I hope the rest of the league throws the book at their owners. Lifetime bans for them all imo
Wow, hes the Fiat guy, his family has run Juve for 100 years. Scenes.Quote:

Cant believe they made it all public not knowing if their fans were onside. Unbelievable screw up.Quote:

I honestly think that is a fairly sensible punishment. They 100% deserve to have some form of punishment handed down to themQuote:

They said (on Sky Sports I think) yesterday that Chelsea and Man City were unsure about joining it but did because the others were, they didn't want to be left out. A bit of FOMO going on.Quote:

Many of these clubs are up to their necks in debt with little prospect of clearing it under current set up. You could argue these owners are simply doing what any normal business would do - try to protect their interests and develop new revenue generating opportunities. Their problem is they think the world is just a big Corporate America and soccer is just another franchise in waiting.Quote:

Wonder how the Man U share price is doing ?
Ffs sounds like the playground. If he told you to jump off a cliff would you do it? Absolutely pathetic.Quote:

Many stopped buying merchandise and boycotted club sponsors. What else can the fans do?Quote:

I'll not hold my breath for their fans to start questioning their ownership and how that impacts competitiveness.
I'll hopefully never have to find out for sure, but I've often thought that if Hibs were in that position I would walk away.Quote:

That threat is gone now. I’m blown away by how much of a balls up they have made of this.
