Too many people are making millions/billions both directly and indirectly off the back of this league for anyone of note to scream cheats from the rooftops about what’s gone on.cameron326 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:38 pmNever mind UEFA, the silence from the English press about the financial corruption has been deafening. It’s literally never mentioned again since the week the story broke.
UEFA twice and the FA once have now charged them with cheating, that’s just the only 2 bodies under who’s umbrella they play the sport by the way and yet nobody bats an eyelid about them hoovering up every trophy in sight since. Move along people nothing to see here, let’s all keep our noses in the money trough…ching ching!
Cheating in sports is absolutely devastating to the brand, just think Juve in Serie A, the Russian olympic doping scandal, Lance Armstrong in cycling and Ben Johnson in athletics. Nobody ever views those sports the same way again, instead everybody thinks the winner is pumped with more narcotics than were in my system at a weekend music festival circa 2010.
When people have zero faith that what they’re looking at is fair and nobody believes that the winners are legit then that’s the death knell for any sport - it’s toxic.
So do you think sky are going to highlight any concerns about what’s going on here when the premier league is literally the only thing preventing their company from collapsing in financial ruin? Unless all those people are subscribing to watch Homes Under The Hammer on Dave of a Tuesday afternoon?
If the global audience turns its eyes away from the product in their droves because they believe that the team winning it every year has fucked the rule book sideways and wiped their cum on the curtains on the way out then there is a cohort of people/businesses that will lose billions. And that just simply can’t/won’t be allowed to happen.
So join us next season for another boring procession where everybody already knows the winner before a single ball is even kicked……AND IT’S LIVE
