We’ll see I guess, they’ll have to nail their colours to a mast at some point. that traditionalist was ruined by that failed drugs test as a player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Superleague allows them to have one rule for them and another rule for everyone else. That's why they need to separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that its a bit unjust that they have to take a bit of stick but in reality they have to realise that this abuse isn't aimed at them so much as the owners themselves. To make a point you have to be seen by as many people as possible. Doing this before live games of football on TV is the best way to make this point. Its why Klopp kicking up a fuss about some T-shirts that Leeds wore and left in the Liverpool dressing room is completely missing the point. This is aimed at the owners and unfortunately the managers and players are associated with the team that these owners own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly these are the employees who the media can access so they will be the people getting the abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Tbf to Pep, he's answered questions on it despite saying he wouldn't, and in a round about way he's implying he disagrees with it. Don't expect him to do any more at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
