Forget that. I was reading about another club who I won’t brother to name, but they’ve received a billion from their owners. So if people are going to talk about debts, which need to be paid, then they should be talking about that sort of thing as well. Ditto for “cradle snatching”.

Yeah Frankfurt is that prototypical boring modern city for young families, Warsaw is the same way for Poland. Neither has any sort of character or interesting appeal compared to other cities in each country.
Warsaw is a nice city, it's just that a huge part of the population comes from whichever village and exists only in their own bubble in the big city. So on the surface the city life tends to consist of the lowest common denominators, but there's more underneath.
My only trip to Germany as an adult was to Frankfurt for work a few years ago. Other than this random British guy who spent like an hour following me around trying to convince me I needed to be saved by him from eternal damnation, I had a nice time.
Some interesting architecture downtown, that wide river right there, a couple quality open air markets, and a bunch of jolly drunken Germans demonstrating a hilarious interest in karaoke generally and Ed Sheeran specifically.
But yes, it may be a boring place to reside in rather than just visit.
You guys aren't prepared...
Perez said yesterday in an interview that the Superleague had to happen because teams like Bordeaux were bankrupt and that many teams would follow.
Bordeaux is bankrupt because its american owners have decided not give a euro to them even though they're losing money with Covid and instead are trying to invest in Inter Milan.
How is the Superleague going to change that exactly?
Sickening.

Ceferin said the 12 teams will be punished.
He said there were 3 groups :
1/ The 6 EPL teams that left quickly and apologized
2/ Inter, Milan and Atletico who left later
3/ Real, Barca and Juve that are STILL in it as of now.
He says the punishments will be different depending on those groups.

The only reason the 6 EPL clubs bolted as fast as they did is because the UK government started threatening legal action in the form of news laws that would severely punish them. They don’t get too much credit for realizing that they made an awful decision and trying to cry mulligan before the results were set in stone.
Anyway, my guess at punishments would be fines and short transfer bans. At most the last group will get a 1 season European ban, but I wouldn’t hold your breath for some multi-year ban.
Even then, it’ll surely be appealed to CAS and CAS usually sides heavily on the side of clubs when you’re dealing with punitive punishments for behavior that didn’t involve a competitive edge in any competition.

For example Article 51 of the UEFA Statutes could be applied in the current situation:
"No combinations or alliances between UEFA Member Associations or between leagues or clubs affiliated, directly or indirectly, to different UEFA Member Associations may be formed without the permission of UEFA."

Like I said in all this stupid mess, the people coming out against it were people using it for their own means. Looks like Boris met with Woodward a few days beforehand and likely gave tacit approval. Or at least didn't say no then.

Because they can, they don't cry that they're broke. If you don't have the money you cut costs and yes it will show on results but you can't spent money you don't have for ever.
You mean the same club that is as of March 23rd in debt to the tune of 284 million pounds?
It makes absolutely no sense. There should only be one tier and that possibly a second past a certain point, though past that certain point exactly what the punishment should be should be up for debate.

The real question, to me, is what punishment can they dish out without the 12 suing them?

So you're saying a club with debt can't do anything? That would be great for Bayern Munich.

Something tells me this could go on for days.
Agreed. Super League was made by those who lived above their means and by saving themselfs they wanted to destroy football.
