Was about to make the reference after the first sentence

I think âoverâ is the key word for the moment.

Thatâs why Iâm not arsed about an apology. John Henry doesnât think theyâve done anything wrong. He is probably very confused about why we donât want to watch Liverpool v Juventus every week and be guaranteed elite football forever.
I just want them to get on with running the club and put this fiasco behind us. Maybe learn a bit in the process.

So AC Milan have withdrawn but they are still pressing ahead, thatâs 3 teams plus Barca who never joined but did but required a fan vote and they thought for some reason they might pass.

I think, as the story behind these last 48 hours is written, youâll see that Henry was basically one of the ringleaders behind the creation of the ESL. He was up there with Perez and Agnelli. The Glazers are a bunch of morons who can be unwittingly thrust into the spotlight to take the fall, as what happened here with Woodward. But Henry isnât a fool. Heâs ruthless and almost entirely motivated by profit - and heâs smart enough to present himself in an unassuming manner publicly.
You know he was FUMING about this falling apart - ashamed of the lack of spine from his co-conspirators in the Top 6.

Chelsea in the final then⌠Interesting which way UEFA goes with the other, hopefully they go with PSG.
Then he should be apologising for not consulting the fans, or Klopp, or Kenny, or anyone that does have a fucking clue!

Exactly, you would think after 10 years of ownership, they would understand the footballing culture and traditions of this country.

I wonder what the consequences will be. What kind of punishment will UEFA dish out?
Oh, I see. Theyâre going âpunishâ ESL clubs with the 7 billion euros that theyâre, apparently, borrowing to âfinanceâ the CL.
And another one bites the dust.
I would like to see a film made about this seismic event.
Name of the film. 48 hours which shook the world of football.

LOL this thing completely collapsed so fast it was unreal. I guess Atletico, Barcelona and Real Madrid can play each other every week rather than the rest of La Liga.

Not to get too historical (accurate or not), but that statement, if you can call it that, from FSG has all the earmarks of the a saying attributed to the aristocracy of 18th century France; âLet them eat cake.â Neither has a clue, or care, about the fans/peasants.
The ESL has been suspended, via the New York Times.
That was that.
What an eventful 3 days.
