Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

How? The salary caps was just conjecture at this point based on the owners NFL activities

These players have contracts in place for their current salaries. ESL wouldn't have affected that

I think a lot of the players were genuinely outraged

I don't know if you seen it in the Athletic(I posted a quote from the article a couple pages back) but it was definitely being discussed between players and agents

Madrid winning the CL would be complete fukkery that needs to happen

 

[Trajan]

After they gave y’all a CL and League title? Ungrateful fans.

That's Klopp, Michael Edwards and World Class players in key positions


In any case, they've shown their hand now

I was ready to boycott thw whole shyt

Not going to lie a small part of me was hoping i was going to get to march down Sir Matt Busby way holding an m16 shoulder to shoulder with Gary Neville.

Bit of an anti climax.

Say hello to Saeed for me when you see him on Saturday.

Wouldn't surprise me if they queried what this would mean for them financially. That's normal

But I also believe someone like Bruno who's super competitive and wants to be the best wouldn't want to play in a safe league where there's no real consequences for being trash.

Whut?

Are you suggesting those opposed to the ESL are under the impression that football is perfect as is?

UEFA are barely better.

Point being is this same energy needs to be applied to UEFA CL.

 

[Gilver]

It is kiiiiinda striking that football fans/media ain’t got this energy for fighting racism though


“I’m ok with racism but i draw the line at taking away the competitiveness of the sport i like”

 

[Gilver]

Point being is this same energy needs to be applied to UEFA CL.

Agreed.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Chauvin guilty and all the PL teams pull out? This might be the best day of my life.

 

[SCORCH]

We saved the beautiful game, the streets know wagwan and won't forget it

Club Statement | Tottenham Hotspur

Chairman Daniel Levy said: “We regret the anxiety and upset caused by the ESL proposal. We felt it was important that our club participated in the development of a possible new structure that sought to better ensure financial fair play and financial sustainability whilst delivering significantly increased support for the wider football pyramid.

The contradictions in that second paragraph
