The club who lost out the most were (ironically) Everton. They were league champions in 1985 and would have played in the European Cup in 1986 but for the ban.

And with the team they had, they'd have done well in it.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles


United fans caused all kinds of problems abroad in the late 70s and 80s. In 1977, United had to play their Cup Winners Cul tie with Saint Etienne in Plymouth as punishment for their fans’ antics.

Although I couldn’t single out Liverpool fans in my original post for fear of reprisals. I need a new passport so I don’t want to rock the ferry!!


Take your point, Man Utd have a dark history of supporters causing trouble but there was no real talk of a ban (or if there was, it was just talk) until the Juventus fans were killed at Heysel.

Quoted from malkamalka
As a lifelong Arsenal supporter, I'm disgusted that the club has not only joined, but that the American owner has been a mover/shaker in getting this off the ground. When you look at the ownership of the clubs involved, it consists of billionaires whose only ambition is to make more billions for themselves.

I won't be subscribing to this - and I doubt many Arsenal or Manchester United supporters will be doing so. In fact, our Supporter groups from both clubs have sent a joint letter protesting at our inclusion.


But not disgusted at being part of the formation of the EPL? Not disgusted at the treatment of club staff at the point of announcing a new deal for (I think) Aubameyang? Not disgusted at the selling of the club to foreign owners over a period of time? Not disgusted when Wenger complained about English football traditions that had ben in place for 100 years but made his players tired?

Crocodile tears. You'll be watching when they kick off against Real Madrid.

Does this mean we won't be relegated this season as they will be 6 teams short  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Clubs will continue to compete in their national leagues.

Quoted Text
Twelve clubs have signed up to the ESL - six of them from the English Premier League.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham, would join AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid.

The founding clubs want a new midweek competition with teams continuing to compete in national leagues.

The ESL would have 20 teams. Of these, the 12 founding members - plus three more yet to join - would be permanent members and would never face relegation.

Five other sides would be expected to qualify on an annual basis.

That asterisk leading nowhere is annoying but what a great idea. UTM.
