Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - It's Amad World
The greatest mistake that the capitalist gangsters make is believing that they are so important and so irreplaceable that if they threaten to leave us, we will do anything they ask for, like a long-suffering woman in an abusive relationship. But they're not that important or that irreplaceable, and we are not women trapped in abusive relationships. They get away with it 99% of the time, but every once in a while, no matter how big they are, their bluff gets called and they get exposed for not being anywhere near as powerful as they pretend to be.
I'm Australian. Earlier this year our government, the Federation of the Commonwealth of Australia, a small and fairly insignificant player on the world stage, locked horns with Google and Facebook, on behalf of Rupert Murdoch and the news media's claims that they wanted compensation from the Silicon Valley giants for their listing news stories on their sites.
Google and Facebook threatened all kinds of things and ran an aggressive advertising campaign here to defend themselves. Google in particular let loose some fighting words: they were going to terminate Google search altogether. They were going to get rid of Google Maps, Drive, and Gmail. And they were going to remove all cloud server hosting services from the Australian market. These were enormously serious threats. Yeah you can get by with Bing, Apple Maps, Outlook and Microsoft Onedrive for your searching, navigation, email, and personal cloud services. But their industrial cloud servers are irreplaceable. Between Google and Amazon they have like 100% of large scale cloud servers that businesses and even government organisations rely on. This was a nuclear option. If they went ahead with it, they were basically bombing Australia back to the Stone Age (well, the pre-internet and e-commerce era.)
But our government, which is barely a postage stamp on the world stage compared to Facebook and Google, refused to back down. And they won in the end. Facebook removed news services in the Australian market rather than pay up, but they couldn't stop the legislation going through, and eventually they had to pay up and restored news services. And as for all of Google's tough talk, their ass done fell off when it came crunch time. They accepted the legislation and settled out of court immediately with the Murdoch media. In the end free access to the Australian market was worth more to them than the concessions they had to pay. And its set the precedent now. If little Australia can do it to the behemoths of Silicon Valley, then the whole world can too. It only requires an ounce of courage to stand up to them.
Now, if an entity as insignificant as the Federation of the Commonwealth of Australia can bully true giants like Google and Facebook into submission, what do you think world powers such as the European Union together with Her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland could do to little piss ants like Florentino Perez? He and his friends are about to learn that they picked the wrong ones to press your luck with and the wrong ones to fukk with

Government needs to step in and have regulations or adopt the german model
I saw on Goonersweb that UEFA are trying to pass a law saying that teams in the Federation should be 51 percent owned by the fans, like in the Bundesliga. And that was a big factor in the 12 clubs moving so fast with this.
I'm all for the 51 percent thing.
I'm all for the 51 percent thing.
UEFA are actually trying to do the 51 percent thing

Regarding the plans to introduce a European Super League, says Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, CEO of FC Bayern: “FC Bayern did not participate in the planning of a Super League. We are convinced that the current statics in football guarantee a serious basis. FC Bayern welcomes the reforms of the Champions League because we believe that they are the right step for the development of European football. The modified preliminary round will contribute to more tension and emotionality in the competition. "
“I don't think the Super League will solve the financial problems of European clubs that were caused by Corona. Rather, all clubs in Europe should work in solidarity to ensure that the cost structure, in particular the players' salaries and the fees for the consultants, are adjusted to the income in order to make European football more rational.
