    He’s bought the club with leveraged debt mate. That rarely ends well and they’re a side who are already hamstrung by low comparative revenues. So I’ll reserve judgement on him.

    You like many others raised some very valid points, I could see the varied arguments from all different angles. It made a very interesting debate, probably one that was long overdue.

    If those numbers are even close to being true that’s staggering.

    of course I am...that’s how I use and enjoy this place

    Having both sides is much more interesting for the audience than everyone agreeing

    All the juicy threads have both sides

    Yeah, I don't know anything about him but it was an off the cuff interview where he talked a lot of sense. Doesn't mean it will end well but that's true of lots of owners who do get football and it's culture.

    A debate that won't end with the end of the super league either. They have opened a pandora's box by trying to grab more and might end up with less in the long run with the government review and independent regulator

    Not sure if this has been shared already, but Bozo himself has said 'No action is off the table and we are exploring every possibility to ensure these proposals are stopped.'

    This is dead in the water.

    I said when they built that ground, slightly tongue in cheek, they will be bust in 10 years. They are desperate, so I know why they were doing what they were doing, but that's over ambitious projects for you, built on American dreams #NFL

    Unfortunately it's not right that they destroy other clubs to save themselves from their careless spending.

    Good

    They're ****ed it's no wonder they're pressing hard to destroy football to save themselves

    It’s all coming out now.

    They’ve all signed a 177 page contract......Woodward lobbing his hand in.....City the only confirmed club who’ve chucked it, as they can pay the piper.

    This isn’t finished by a long way, I can’t wait to hear just how much they’re all in for.

    How much of it was legally binding and I wonder if a cooling off period was involved .

    Probably depends whether JP Morgan were doing door to door sales for super leagues and whether they can prove they sold to vulnerable people who weren't in charge of their faculties anymore
