Yes but they were banished for corruption , not because they were a crap team who couldn't buy their way out of trouble which is why I included the proviso 'not banned'
45% income tax is why the Government won't fully block the move, they'll be raking it in with 45% tax.
That is the only problem imo. It is these shitty clubs as well as UEFA/FIFA being the "good" guys now. But I guess we take whatever we can!a team who literally spent 400m + on 2 players talks about Fairness. God - hypocrisy just suicides.
They were relegated as punishment. Something that can easily happen again.
I don't think this means every country gets to charge 45%, only that salaries will be normalized to 45% so that countries with lower taxes do not benefit when it comes to the salary cap.
Yeah agreed
They'll make some statement again about how much they condemn this whole thing, make some vague threats about financial penalites, this will drag on as these things tend to do, then will sort of get forgotten about while some more vague statements are made, and this whole thing will continue to inexorably march on.
How so? They were literally running their mouth on TV last night
Perez must believe the contracts are ironclad
The players and managers are employees, the fans are consumers - they're not entitled to know everything.
Where is Woodward defending this? Where are the Glazers? Where is anyone from the pl's 6 out there explaining their actions and the way forward? The only people speaking about it who are employed by the clubs are saying they don't know anything we don't know.How so? They were literally running their mouth on TV last night

I honestly can't see a scenario where many actually pull out and move elsewhere if the SL goes through. Some, sure. But I'd be very, very surprised if the likes of Messi, Ramos, Kane, Havertz, Bruno, De Bruyne or whoever else says "feck this, I love the game so much, I'm moving to Leicester City or Real Sociedad instead".
At least they got this one right.
So he is okay with this provided there is more Fairness in the competition? Think, that's by itself is a win to ESL.
Based on what one random tweet?
Didn't want to be a part of it yet they're signed up as founding members of the SL and have the statement on their official sites. Do me a favour mate, they're as bad as the rest.
Arguably worse as they've only been invited due to massive financial doping and now they want to protect their own position at the top of football by making sure that isn't replicated by other clubs.
Again with the personal stuff.
You need to grow up.
I don't think those players will do a damned thing.
Nobody's denying there's people doing something about it, my own son included.
I just don't believe those players will do anything more than issue a statement and continue to play.
It's their job.
You can fanboy all you want pal, but don't start getting personal because somebody disagrees with you.
There's a good boy.
They will, as many other clubs would too. Let's see who really has a proper backbone once money waves at you
And you trust them?
I understand that and maybe I didn’t make my point clear, by alignment I meant something like places 1-2 go to SL, 3-4 to CL, 5-6 EL. It may not be feasible but it would feel a whole lot better than just expecting these SL teams hanging around their domestic leagues earning more money, resting players and not caring what position they finished.
I’m just annoyed and ranting at the sheer non caring balls of these rich people who give absolute zero fecks to absolutely anyone they are involved with, from their own staff to fans. Don’t care what mess they leave behind and are too lawyered up to be touched.
all my hopes are just on the players being against it as much as I am and hopefully taking pay cuts and playing elsewhere just to protect the support, what a dreamland ey
When do the Glazers or Roman Abramovic ever come out and comment on anything?
That isn't what I said. My point is that their history (especially in Europe) is no more illustrious than a lot of other clubs. I disagree that a side who haven't won the title in 15 years, and who can't regularly regularly make the Champions League deserve a guaranteed place at the top European Competition, in perpetuity, simply because they are rich.
Neither Arsenal, (or Spurs for that matter) are part of "Europe's elite" either on the basis of history, or current performance. It is all about the fact that they are well placed financially, and that's what makes a mockery of this. It's about nothing more than people who don't understand the game, wanting to create a closed shop
Do you think they deserve a place over other European clubs? What about Benfica, or Ajax?
Yes but not from playing performances, where people have been saying the teams need to be competitive to avoid being relegated because they might play badly. Any team could be relegated because of an infraction as were Rangers in Scotland.
Doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers before the World Cup in Qatar. Don’t be surprised if, as immediate as the year after, PSG are first on the guest list.
If that's correct it shows that the owners understand neither the game, the fans, or the players and I suspect, they would be in for a shock.
I wrote about this before as I suspected there might be problems reg. players contracts, and now I see that the Athletic has written about that aspect of this. behind a paywall but I will post it anyway:

The players contracts might need to be re-negotiated. The question is then if the clubs suddenly can lose players that refuses a new contract. If for example a club does something that stops a player from playing for his national team (there are requirements from FIFA, UEFA and FA in the contracts), will the contract then be voided? The bonuses for qualifications to CL will not be relevant and might lead to reason for re-negotiating etc.

I'll have to try and watch the whole thing later
Whenever it suits them? Granovskaia and Woodward are their mouthpieces.
That's entirely irrelevant. They will face huge backlash irrelevant to what they 'have' to do, it's about what they should do.

When do they ever try to take their teams off into the closed sunset of their own competition?
And if they're still in the super league regardless isn't there less incentive not to fix matches again?
Could the owners take the clubs out of their countries?
Don't make me like the tories.
Can you explain this more as I don't watch American sports.
The worst side gets the number 1 draft pick. So it ends up a race to the bottom.
This is perfect for him innit? Champion of the people and everyone forgets about the Brexshit.
Even so, would still not have expected any comment aside from the statement.

I suppose this is the only way? All memberships holders to cancel them all for United to make them feel the immediate pain?
Watch how quickly Boris sits back down once he hears about the 45% tax.
