Some court in Madrid said that fifa couldn’t bar players from the World Cup.

maybe it's trump poison, but all of these sorts of things i ask "okay, and what if they just ignored it?"

i mean that seriously, is FIFA not in the "too big/important to fail/be killed" category? what court would rule hard enough if they took a stance that was publicly popular but legally questionable?

Halve the size of all domestic leagues, play only until December. Everyone is sorted into a different European league based on league position. Then it’s European league season until May. That’s my big-money idea.

The wording was more along the lines of ‘it is not illegal to create a new European league’ and I’m still loling pretty hard at anyone thinking this ruling was useful to anyone with half a brain.

The gently caress is this. If you actually cared about what the fans thought you would have floated the idea first before actually joining the breakaway.

They've genuinely tried to redesign all of football based on some poo poo McKinsey report about how young people these days only play video games and do memes on the social networks.

Not a moment of consideration that young people might not watch football (legally) because they've put it all behind massive unaffordable pay walls of course.

Crazy that there are supporters of non-breakaway clubs who think they should be kicked out of the league but financial penalties would be a bit much.

I mean financial penalties do gently caress all to these guys, unless you levvy loving massive fines against them which in turn, just hurts the club and not the owners. Like the Glazers would just take whatever fine out of Utd to recoup the loss.

The solution has been developed by competition and data protection regulators across the globe long ago, it's called turnover based fines. These clubs may be neck deep in debt, but their turnovers are huge. The question is if anyone will have the balls and/or authority to execute.


And that's why you sense check consulting data before implementing solutions. If you don't, you are likely to hurt stakeholders more than benefit them and the value* goes down.
