If there’s a contract that the various entities have signed, public opinion literally does not matter.

if you assume it was so well written there's nothing to challenge

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

The risk that you are the one team that doesn’t pay and you are frozen out of a future project is probably greater than the relative pittance that the penalty would be for the owners.

Plus it’s clearly not as selective as they want you to think as spurs are in it

Spurs were selected because of their insanely rich owner. Nothing else.

technically, I'm in favour of continuing the ESL but with Real, Barca, Juve and then the nine others fielding teams of Korean e-sports players and early-season Big Brother contestants

this will legally prevent Florentino Perez from pursuing a case up to the level of Spanish Court where you're officially required to wear pants, even if you're not the judge

I was thinking this for a while, but then I realized that Liverpool would be, at best, midtable on the ESL ladder. It's almost certainly for the best that the Super League is dead for now.

It must have been about a decade since the last impotent Ferrari breakaway threat, so we're due one anytime. The question is whether he can manage to be worse than the parade of failures they've had in the last 10 years.

I'm still waiting for Perez to initiate legal proceedings for the next round of fun.

It's still bizarre to me that Real/Barca/Juve are all still technically in the ESL but are allowed to carry on as normal, Real even turning out in the Champions League.
