Title: Ex-Liverpool Supporter
Post by: casper on April 19, 2021, 10:16:16 AM: It would seem after the announcement earlier that the new European 'Super' League is to go ahead in August I'm afraid that my support for Liverpool will be coming to an end. Absolutely disgusted, but in no way surprised, that money comes over the fans of the domestic league.

So far I haven't heard a single person/group in favour of the deal, even the clubs involved haven't said anything (that I've heard).
I think its up to the fans to vote with their wallets and hurt them were it counts, financially.

There has been too much money involved in football for years, and other sports as well, it`s the boardroom of the clubs involved in this that have shown their true interests.

On a side note, I was very happy to see " The Miserable One " got his P45 today, he is a vile creature.

I'd be ok if Utd were kicked out of the League and other cup competitions. The sad thing is it looks like the managers found out on the news like the rest of us. it's all about money, owners don't care about the sport.

Any wonder local football is in such a state when "your team" is owned by billionaires and probably don't know the off side rule

Chelsea, Man City, Athletico Madrid are pulling out and Barcelona won't enter unless their fan based owners approve it.
