There's an apology but it also shows how out of touch these owners are...

Agnelli even admitted now what we all know. SL is dead. The aftermarth will be brutal tho. Perez surely will want to refinance Real's debt with breach of contract fines from the english clubs.

They knew that this would happen. Even Perez I assumed. The question is why go ahead and do it? 

I still think something is fishy. They might be doing away with some money. As one reporter put it:

What happens with the billions of pounds in start-up money put forward by American bankers JP Morgan is anyone's guess.

JPM will keep their money, i think they only pledged it to the clubs once they played one season.

apparently Atletico and Inter have pulled out now too. This is interesting. If there was a fine, why would they pull out now since they already know SL is not gonna happen? They could have just stayed in adn then bel ike "oh too bad" and nothing would happen to them. But apparently the little bit of fan rage they would face is harder on them than a potential fee. So maybe there is none in the end?

Let's hope there is no fine and Real Madrid are not keeping no money. Because the timing of it all is so weird. They did it because they had a deadline and had to do it now. 

All this is so weird to be honest, and let's hope Real Madrid does not come benefiting by getting some type of compensation.

Inter, Atletico and Milan have all also pulled out.

Only Juventus, Real and Barcelona left...

Probably, but the only image I get is that of our fans coming out in full to protest. 

For a "rent club" with "soulless fans" the world saw that it was not like that. 

I think the reason why at times our atmosphere at games is not as loud as say Liverpool is because of the price. Prices are too high and if it was lower many of these people would be in there shouting for our team. 

So yesterday showed that our fans are not dead, are not rent boys and are not soulless.

This will be thoroughly disappointing if the case. How is Bruce Buck seriously supposed to represent us on committee's for the Premier League, Europe, etc after this?!

One thing I'm almost certain the other Premier League clubs will push for is sanctions in place to ban these likes of being on the committee, representing their club.

It's common sense anyway. To start the process of earning that trust back, there has to be changes made at that level and new faces to represent the club.

This whole thing becomes utterly pointless if this is now allowed to pass through.

If Neville, Linekar, Rio etc just stay quiet now and resume their custy jobs on sky/BT they're just as bad and I won't want to hear any "passionate rants" from them ever again.

Maybe that's why the timing of when this came out?

To pressure for that? 

Because the timing is so weird unless done with a purpose to get something else.

These lot will back down. They are hired by Sky and BT who are scummy as the founders of the ESL. UEFA, FIFA...the LOT of them are as scummy as each other.

I'm very disappointed with the football fans such as ourselves who are going to let this one slide.

And that makes them just as bad as far as I'm concerned.
