This thread is only about 200 replies short of the Arsenal or Chelsea season long threads

Who was the guy complaining the other day about how the Soccer Board doesn't have enough discussion threads?

I usually have a hard time going after Levy because under his watch Spurs really have come a far way.
However, this decision may have been a step top far for me to stomach.

I’m the exact opposite of you, then. I have no problem going after him for squandering big transfer pay days and failing to continue to build on past results.

I hated this ESL idea completely. BUT, if I’m Levy and I get approached by this group of clubs to be included in a new “Super League” alongside them, I’d be a fool not to go along for the ride.

I totally get that. And he may not be the right guy from this point on. But I am thankful for what he's done for Spurs since 2001.

I’m just sitting here thinking about the absolute scenes if some American billionaires managed to destroy English football shortly after Meghan markle destroyed the royals. Anti-American sentiment has to be at an all time high over there right about now.

Scenes as I have a front four of Sanchez Watt, El Hadji Diouf, Mike Grella and Jermaine "the Bucktooth" Beckford and absolutely destroy everyone. Need to have the Bradley Johnson-Jonny Howson pairing with Snodgrass off the bench. That team would make Les Miles think, briefly.

Also would get the Irish Messi himself, Wesley Hoolahan.

Sanchez Watt is a great Twitter troll

Im pretty sure he’s the one behind that Kolasinac stan account that is “on load” as a Leeds fan

I should follow him. I believe I only follow former Arsenal left-back, the five foot three Jernande Meade.

I think the Milan Ultra group, Curva Sud, summed up the last couple of days best..

quote:

“Honestly, it makes us laugh to see all those people in the control room of football suddenly claim we fans are first and foremost.

“The Super League is just the latest in a long line of innumerable manoeuvres over decades that has made football into a business.

“The birth of this new competition would certainly be another shove to the football of old, which is by now a distant memory, and will inevitably obscure the tradition of the various national leagues, robbing football of the undeniable principle of sporting meritocracy.

“But the thing that most leaves us indignant is the hypocrisy of all those who contributed to making this sport nothing but a business, those who today stand up in name of the fans, but only because they saw their remunerative and seemingly untouchable project fall apart.

“Football did belong to the people until the 1990s, when the Champions League was born, destroying the old European Cup. From that moment, an unbreachable chasm has been created between the big and small clubs.

“Football did belong to the people even when nobody lifted a finger to stop the increase of ticket prices that was imposed by some Presidents.

“Football did belong to the people even when nobody stepped in to stop the rise of the super agents, who took player salaries to ever more astronomical figures, which could only be sustained with TV rights, the same TV companies that imposed increasingly chaotic fixture lists, with games on improbable days and kick-off times.

“Football did belong to the people even when rules were imposed to stop any rapport between the players and the fans.

“Football did belong to the people even when Supercoppa Finals were played on other continents or the dates of some games were changed a few days before kick-off, damaging those fans who had booked trains or planes to get to the stadium.

“Football did belong to the people even when some clubs were allowed to circumvent Financial Fair Play, while others with less influential Presidents were penalised.

“Football did belong to the people even when the World Cup was forced to Qatar in 2022, despite moving the entire calendar and disregarding human rights violations.

“We could list numerous other examples to show the absolute hypocrisy of the words we’re hearing from the football chiefs over the last 48 hours.

“The Super League is just the latest disgusting step, but those who took football to this point are no less grotesque, so save us these ludicrous performances of rhetoric and morality.

“Now that the money is running out, feel free to fight it out between yourselves, but don’t you dare name the fans. PIGS!”

Interesting there are no names attached to that to show who is even still involved.

Probably came from Florentino only.
