Meenzer 18050 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 They liked him, they loved him, they regarded him as one of the people. He was the People's Taker of the Fulwell and that is how he will stay, how he will remain in our hearts and our memories for ever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas and gormless cunts will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say: "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say: "Haven't you heard? Essembee is dead! The Fulwell's Poet is dead!” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl 175 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Looks like the EFL clubs will accept the bribe and 14 votes from the premier league wont be a problem, just wait for the negative stories about clubs going into administration over the next few weeks.

Howay 12496 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 The play here would be the rest of the PL teams to propose the same funding deal but without all the bullshit handing all the power to the select group, then they all vote on it with the note that if these clubs really do care to help the lower sides they should jump at the chance. If this deal goes through football is dead tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 7485 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I can't see the current deal getting 14 votes, considering that its not even good for all 9 of the "long term shareholders" given that its entirely possible for at least two of them to go down with a poor season at the moment and immediately lose the marginal benefit of that membership considering that their "no" would mean fuck all if the "big 6" wanted something. It's absolutely not going through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl 175 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 When version 2 of the proposal comes out (which was probably the real version anyway) it will be a lot more palatable to more clubs, the obvious end game here is to put more money and power in the hands of the big six.

Because they're impressionable and their echo chambers reinforce that point constantly. How likely is Mike Ashley to vote through a deal that would make it perfectly acceptable for a handful of other people to tell him that he can't sell the club if the Saudis come back in? It happened already and hes suing the league for it. The rich make themselves richer, always, and you're talking about 14+ millionaires and billionaires willingly giving up power, influence and money for...literally no benefit.

Btw I don't think Ashley is suing anyone now, I think he's been told to pull his head in otherwise they will never approve any potential buyer, hence why it is all very quiet now, especially when you consider all involved with football are crying poor and yet no one is willing to stand up and support the SA purchase (who would no doubt poor money into English football if they were let in).
