Figured it might be.It was a joke.
I think they never expected the fans, the media, the Governments, and even Prince William to get involved so strongly. Once the Governments got involved the clubs that left can say it is void ab initio and leave without any compensations.I was thinking about this before. How is possible that an agreement is broken so easily without further consequences? The lawyers must have prepared some very serious compensations for that case. It's either that, or what has happened was a completely unpredictable scenario that has caught everyone by surprise.
He should hope that many people are saying the opposite then.
Invite MLS team? Inter Miami sounds almost like Inter Milan?Tweet

Perez isn't giving up!
I seriously don't know what else they can do to make this a reality.
Don't think any of the PL clubs are going to touch the poisoned chalice for some time nowBe piss funny when Leicester, Everton, Leeds, West Ham, Wolves and Southampton take the 6 spots instead.
Nah, this has killed the idea for 20 years minimum.Don't think any of the PL clubs are going to touch the poisoned chalice for some time now
Exactly. It doesn't work only because Barca and Real have terrible accountants.Why does he keep saying the current system doesn't work? What doesn't work? Spending 150m on Dembele, Coutinho, Griezmann etc and failing constantly? Giving players 500k a week when you can't afford to do it? No shit. The clubs that are in trouble are the clubs that were out of control like Barca, Madrid and Juve. They are the ones who will be fecked and they are the ones who can't survive. Let them die. feck them.
To be fair all I did was shitpostI’m proud of every one of you here and all clubs supporters across the country.
Today we are all United.
Yep, City and psg are a big reason why this shitstorm happened.So, it seems like people decided that proxy battles between Russia, Qatar, China and Saudi Arabia on the football pitch is better than having an ESL. That's fine by me, but I hope people realize what they're rallying against.
I for one am not happy about United, Real Madrid and Barcelona becoming irrelevant clubs because they can't really compete against nation state levels of wealth and excess. Know that financial fair play is well and truly dead because of what has transpired over the past year or two. A billion for Qatar is nothing - a rounding error in their oil revenues. A billion for Barcelona is the difference between bankruptcy and survival as a football club.
If anything, I'd welcome our Saudi overlords if they chose to take over United. I hope you do too, otherwise what awaits is just a slow fade to obscurity.
But a brittish court can. Or you think only brittish entities can sue brittish entities?I do not think a Spanish court can issue anything on the British clubs anymore.
And a fine job you did too mateTo be fair all I did was shitpost
I dunno. They tried to pull the same shit as everyone else.Big respect for Chelsea and City starting this domino effect. We were never going to withdraw otherwise
Football people are often amateurish despite the size of their business. At the end of the day, they are just a massive size SME. It's very possible they were not that good.I was thinking about this before. How is possible that an agreement is broken so easily without further consequences? The lawyers must have prepared some very serious compensations for that case. It's either that, or what has happened was a completely unpredictable scenario that has caught everyone by surprise.
They are yes. But they are also the ones that made this fall apart.I dunno. They tried to pull the same shit as everyone else.
I feel like the clubs that jumped from the doomed project earliest are just trying to earn a bit of good will from doing so. They're as complicit in this whole disaster as everyone else.
Thanking Brexit for the first in my life.I do not think a Spanish court can issue anything on the British clubs anymore.
Surely he must understand that given the events of the past 48 hours, no English club with any sense will ever go anywhere near something like that again?Tweet

So..
Barca get 220m for Neymar, waste 280m on Coutinho and Dembele, then raise a loan to sign a player whose position is already occupied by the best player in the world for 120m. Madrid rebuilds its stadium for almost 800m then wastes 140m on a player with one year left on his contract. Juve signs a 33 year old for 100m and probably pays him around 50m per season. T Luckily there's Perez to identify the root of all these problems: The CL simply isn't profitable enoug!
They are probably the worse. The rats are the first to jump the boat. The only ones to be praised are the ones that didnt go with this abomination from the start: bayern, dortmund, PSG and others that were proposed.Big respect for Chelsea and City starting this domino effect.

There's precedent. The isles of scilly league has a grand total of 2 teams who continuously play each other all season.Is this going to end up being Real Madrid & Barcelona playing each other over and over again?
Appears to have workedTo be fair all I did was shitpost
Beyond stupid. As rummeneige said, costs are the problem, not the revenueSo..

Woody "call it off boys, horsechoker's memed us on the caf"Appears to have worked
Yes Bayern and PSG do deserve praise. But I still applaud Chelsea and City for making this fall apart.They are probably the worse. The rats are the first to jump the boat.

Chelsea and city wanted in as the ones that remained longer in bur shit their pants the first.
