Well Rashford and Shaw have come out publicly against for my club. Also rumours that Maguire confronted Woodward yesterday after the players found out the news on social media as opposed from the club. So hope enough pressure will make us reverse.
Credit to Chelsea for backing down. Hope the rest do.
What we thinking the response to them attempting to step away will be? Point deduction/ban from Champion’s League for a year?
There’s a lot of noise about there needing to be some form of “punishment” for their actions. I think the outcry from fans and the sour taste most of them have now for the owners is pretty strong.
I see a lot of comments about how it’s not fair on the fans, which is true, but it’s also not fair on all the various other clubs that have been docked points etc over the years.
I don’t think UEFA will ban them from the CL, as without them it would be much less of a competition for them and their greed/sponsors means they need it to be the best it can be.
Domestically, I think they should probably get docked points and for it to be fair, it needs to happen next season. Otherwise, if you take 15 points off them this year, well that’s the CL hope gone for Chelsea and Liverpool, Spurs just slip further down. City still win the league. Utd still get CL football next year. But… Arsenal would then be 17th and at risk of relegation! PLEASE!!!
I believe legally no league can do anything right now thanks to an injunction in Spain against UEFA and FIFA the Super League clubs won on Tuesday. The only ‘good news’ they had.
