    Damn. I wanted a long enough hold-out to award us a couple of titles. Bus parade and everything. If anybody cares, I've ran the numbers through the Football League's entire history to see who comes out on top in terms of titles won.

    Everton - 19 (Sir David Moyers wins 4 or 5 of them. Martinez even gets one.
    Aston Villa - 14 (It was actually close until Moyes took off)
    Leeds - 12
    Newcastle - 10 (Sir Bobby gets three on the bounce)
    Sunderland - 9
    Wolves - 7
    Preston NE, Blackburn, Burnley, Notts Forest, Sheffield 'The Wednesday' - (Kenny Dalglish gets an extra one and Brian Clough's machine rolls on. Sean Dyche, take a bow.)
    Ipswich, Huddersfield - 4
    Portsmouth, Blackpool - 3 (I count one for Blackpool as they lead the season that was abandoned by the outbreak of WW2 after 3 games. )
    Leicester, Southampton, Derby - 2
    Watford, West Brom, Sheff Utd, QPR, Crystal Palace - 1 (Elton John releases a Watford-themed Candle in the Wind)

    I might do FA Cups next.

    Chelsea requesting documentation to leave. Was always going to happen. Their owner is the only one out the lot who actually likes football for one.

    The best bit is what happens now, after two of them have come back tail between legs. The Americans are deadly serious about this, they want the money and they want it predictably.

    Atletico as well. It’s going to be left with Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Juve and Madrid.

    If Chelsea, City and Barca are gone (with Bayern and PSG not joining) it's surely dead.

    Hold on a minute, I'm sure Fulham won it in 2010-11. We've not got much else going for us right now so I'm taking it.

    Haha.

    Stupid wankers. This was a horrendous idea from the start and it tells you all you need to know that they were deluded enough to try and pull it off. Pathetic from everyone involved and I hope they are suitably punished by the Premier League.

    It would be nice if they could punish the actual owners/presidents who appear to have been pretty much the only people pushing this, but not sure how you do that.

    Seems unfair punishing the players/mangers/etc. given they were clearly all against it and have seemingly been quite instrumental in getting it canned.

    Nope. Second to Moyes' boys by five points. You can have the Europa League instead.

    Just a complete lolfest from start to finish. No attempt to get club staff onside (or even inform them?), complete radio silence from those in charge and no attempt to flesh out the details.

    Hard to believe the sums of money involved in something that looks like it was put together by a 15 year old.

    The players framing it all in reference to fans, as if they wouldn't be able to attend/pay for all of these shit games, is a bit of a cop out on their part. The issue is the closed shop, not the fixtures or money or whatever else.

    As crap at the UEFA proposals are, any attempts to expand the European game for financial gain tends to involve more teams.

    Don’t these clubs have Deadly Dom type weirdos who could game out how everything would have played out from the announcement? It was blindingly obvious from the start that the backlash was going to be too much to bear.

    I think their approach was, "What are they going to do without us?" Very much 'bigger than the sport' bollocks that was massively, massively misjudged.

    Isn't he from JP Morgan who are giving them the money? I presume this was some long play the whole time so he's off to make money elsewhere.
