Proves they are not only in it for the money and value sporting success.

I don't disagree with any of that but the last bit is impossible. That is the big clubs issue, anything that takes money away from the smaller clubs, i.e. less teams in the premier, is voted down by said smaller clubs, so it will never happen. They all vote in their own interests, but the set up now favours the smaller clubs and status quo. This breakaway is an extreme way to push it the other way. I would imagine, but don't know, it is the same with TV rights for I dividual games. Plus UEFA would want their fingers in the sponsorship deals pie. Therein is the issue. Something has to give, but what ?

Just read the last 3 pages of the stadium expansion tread, obviously 95% of the posts are about us being terrible money grabbers. One posted , without a hint of self awareness; Imagine they get kicked out. We would then have our new stadium and be at the top end of the premier League. If their ESL fails, great because it will show them up for the money grabbing cunts that they are. If it succeeds and expands we will definitely get invited with our 52000 state of the art stadium and will be a big part of it. Impressive.

What was the outcry like when the expanded European cup was proposed. I remember being totally against it myself. I even called a phone in on channel 5 that is how outraged I was. Difficult to judge the overall outcry due to different media and coverage. I also get this was a UEFA sanctioned expansion so different.

My hoping of no press conference or in fact any sort of publicity is because it is a poker play for UEFA benefit. Show them how serious they are and it is all in place and ready for August, then so this new CL format... Obviously I could be way off.

My take on City, is the new agreement is 55% of income on wages. FFP was retrospectively introduced so legally it was easier to fight/ignore. City are going into this and agreeing to FFP as a condition of signing up. Hence, like the traditional clubs want now, City are fine as long as FFP is relevant. PSG have been invited but chose to say no. The idea that PSG and Bayern are against clubs just buying success at the detriment of other clubs is a truly wonderful ignoring of every single fact you can find.* * This is a call out of the moral guardians of the game and not you.

Polly, Anna? Would wood.

I am against it, but UEFA due to pressure from the clubs have been edging towards it anyway. The CL was introduced to prevent a breakaway ESL, as the bigger clubs wanted wanted more money and be more likely to qualify. Hence more places for the big leagues and more group games. The proposed CL changes, is more games and easier qualification based on recent history. If it was operating this year, we would qualify irrespective of league position. For me the straw was FFP, the old traditional clubs saw the new rich come in and blow them away financially. They put pressure on UEFA to level the playing field and UEFA failed. So we are where we are. The clubs have gone, the only way we can level the playing field is to do it ourselves and here we are. This don't mean I agree, but I understand. My hope is it a high stake poker play and a compromise will be reached. The owners won't care about the fallout if they get what they want, and next season when everyone is friends again (Sky and BT) they will all talk about how great it is everyone is playing together in the CL and the Premier League. Or, Third option, not sure.

The fact he is being interviewed on main stream media because of what he did kind of proves how low journalism has sunk in this country. A gobby know nothing idiot makes a show of himself. Yeah, but he was having a go at Starmer- quick get him on. It also shows the bias and agenda of the media. If a "always voted Tory" had to be dragged away from Johnson, within minutes they would be discredited as some sort of Marxist Corbyn worshipping nutcase. However here it is just a man of the people calling out Sir Starmer.

Think of the profit we will make in the summer. You forget how clever we are.

We just collectively decided to stop playing on 55 minutes. Dominating until then, then we just stopped and invited them onto us. Needed to regain control in midfield, so obviously Ox. Robertsons "pass" to Jota when 2 on 1 sums up our second half, don't need to think or do the basics, we are Liverpool so will be great. That seems to be the mentality at the moment.

Same hypocritical cunts who wanted Null and Void who were all saying how great it was that football was back, them hypocritical cunts ?

Only concern is we are only 1 0 up. Dominated.

Nothing. Focused on the game only and basically deflect would be my prediction.
