Glazers next.

If everything settles they'll stay in and just replace Woodward with another pawn. Hopefully more pressure and sanctions and they're gone and we can have a fresh start next season. If that means no big signings so be it.

They should learn from the Germans and do the 50+1 fan ownership.

Supposedly they are keeping Woodard on till the end of the year to get the club sold. Here's hoping anyway. And yes all English clubs should adopt the German model. Only way to keep the game honest going forward.

What happened with Real and Barca? Thought they're fan owned so did the presidents just go rogue and sign them up to it?

[Snare]

Barca signed on the provision that season ticket holders would vote to decide, so that was there out. No idea about Franco FC.

Isn't the situation with Real is the members just vote for the president, and he makes all the decisions for the length of his term?
And funny how Perez came up with this thing because Madrid's debt makes United's look small. He then announces the superleague, figures loads of money will be coming in, so Madrid agree a deal with Alaba for 400k a week, then it all falls apart.

[Paul keohane]

Some of the quotes from Perez over the last few days are off the wall,what a deluded  fuck.He actially thinks people will feel sorry for some of these clubs because they are up to their eye balls in debt..
Real are in massive debt and yet have announced a 90m "free transfer" 5 year contract with Bayern's Alaba. Nothing will change.

[Emphyrio]

I'm delighted that it's really hurting Real. Fuckers.

That's what happens when you have a ball-less government.

I think if they slow down a lot of it, it would look bad, similar incident in the game later in against rudiger and they didnt even check it, this var stuff is up and down

It's way too inconsistent in how it's applied. I was all for it at first but having had it tried out for a season it's a non runner imo

It's beypnd a joke. It's like that Arsenal non-penalty the other day. Don't mention the fact it was a blatant dive (and one the FA should retroactively ban the fucker for), because that would make the ref look bad for falling for it, so we'll decide the tip of his elbow was offside instead.
