Maybe I’m just vindictive but I actively want these clubs punished. For clubs like us, Luton, Rotherham etc. to be punished so severely for something that none of the fans or players were involved with...and then to see twats like Souness saying how unfair it is to dock points?
At least the only damage done in our case was to ourselves. These clubs actively tried to kill global football; last time I checked, attempted murder was still a crime? Throw ye book at them, nothing would make me smile more than a 6 way relegation battle next season.
They didn't misjudge. They simply didn't have flipping clue or care. More corporate bull.

Personally, I don’t think two wrongs make a right. The points penalties for us were harsh and unfair on the fans and the rebel 6 have genuine fans as well. I have less sympathy granted and wouldn’t be bothered either way, but I wouldn’t be gunning for it personally.
If we can get to the point where this is prevented in the future, there are some changes for the better in regards to governance and maybe even some form of structure for fan involvement in clubs hierarchies then domestically that’s a big win.
UEFA can do what they like to them.
I can understand that. You’re probably right. I just find it deplorable that all of these clubs that could actually shake off these kinds of punishment, are the ones who this outrage at these punishments have come out for. How long ago did Bury go bust? The body’s still warm. Yet for United and Liverpool it’s all “think of the fans”.
Luton Town shouldn’t be classed as lesser just because they’ve had less money pumped into them over the years. Neither should we. Nor should Bolton or Wigan. Etc. Etc. But like you said, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Seems that 12 owners and 1 investment bank only did due diligence on one side of the deal. Must have inadvertently taken their eyes off of the "will this impact anyone negatively" side of the equation, whilst looking at the "how much can I make from this" side.Do corporations investing €3,5billion make misjudgements? Seems rather incompetent...
If I could attach it, I'd add a reworking of the classic Hitler rant referring to the Super league. Its not taking the mp4 unless someone gives me a clue
