if mou walked out in protest of this league my respect for him increases tenfold. whatever the reason was thats what hed probably say when asked about it though lol

He didn't walk out tho, he got sacked. I think its more likely this is
a) a distraction
b) he would get more money after the cup final this weekend
c) kane/son said its them or him

he was on his way out anyway because quite frankly he has become a ridiculous fraud, none of the skills/success left but all of the drama

well tottenham isnt going to put out an announcement saying mourinho resigned now are they?
the only reason he could be sacked is either daniel levy is delusional enough to think that he actually owns a "big club" and tottenham is deserving of a champions league spot every season (which they arent), or mou had a falling out with levy about this and levy just said fuck it. any other falling out between players or levy wouldnt have led to a sacking at this moment specifically imo. they still have things to play for and it would be worth it to leave him until the competitions are done

The Super League announcement must have something to do with it, Levy doesn't seem to be the kind to pay huge amounts to sack a manager unless he had no other choice. Spurs have a cup final coming up and it doesn't seem to be the best idea to sack a manager before that. Either way Mourinho had to go, great manager but failed to adopt his tactics for the modern era. I do believe a club like Burnley or Everton would suit him though.

either way i fully expect mou to take advantage of the situation and talk shit about levy for his decision to partake in the super league. i would honestly be shocked if mou didnt. he has a golden opportunity to earn himself a ton of respect for free and make levy look like a sack of shit because the "special one" said what had to be said and stood up for the sport.

I think Spurs has a better chance of winning the cup off the back of a new manager/caretaker bounce than with Mourinho. Also he needs to be booted out of modern football, there just isn't anything left in him to give to football anymore I think.

Yep. Now to implement the 50+1 model across European football and the billionaires can go fuck themselves.

Wow, that is huge. Hard to see them doing that, in particular Barca socios.

I don't hold it against any of the clubs. This isn't the players or the coaches going for this. This is purely the businessmen and owners at the top.

I don't want MU to be punished because that'll hit the players and team the most. They need to somehow target the owners instead.

Yes, exactly this. But lord know I have no idea how to do this.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Not sure if the UEFA presser that was meant to announce the new CL format, which is yet another bad development of the tournament to accomodate the greedy top clubs, has been cancelled or not? Will be interesting to see if UEFA would still go through with it. It's hugely unpopular among the people that they now need to very actively fight the ESL if they (UEFA) are to retain their position.

I wonder if the Super League announcement was so timed, given it occurred the night before to put UEFA in such a bind without much time to respond.

Go forth with publicised proposals you only really crafted to appease these clubs into not breaking away, that were unpopular anyway or pull away from that plan you’ve spent time and got negative press for, without much time to consult?

I can't see how these clubs are going to be able to have an answer for absolutely everything.
In the UK alone, the clubs are beholden to:
Local Councils, who give them permission to use their locality in their name
The Premier League, who can kick them due to the rule about not signing up for other competitions without permission
The government, who grant work permits for players to play games in the country based on the fact that they play in a recognized league
UEFA
FIFA

All these punishments quoted and floated about punish players and coaches. Players and coaches who would've had close to zero say in this.

It's such a shit show.

The very first punishment should be that the EPL and other leagues void all contracts that they were party to to do with these clubs. I have no idea how it works/would work in reality, but the players should be given the option to opt out.
That way, if they choose to still betray football, they can take the consequences.

All it would take is for one player to take UEFA to court for it to be thrown out. Players signed a contract with the Club not UEFA.

The court cases are going to be filed all over the world representing:

  • Sponsors
  • TV Networks
  • Supporters
  • Domestic Leagues
  • International Teams
  • Players
