@Kwek00 It was more than that. All involved have suffered reputational damage.

@Burnley123 give it a couple of years, and a similair proposal will pop up.

As long as there is so much money at stake, clubs will just try to generate more profit. Especially those that want to play for high stakes. Look at Liverpool right now, if they are lucky they maybe get a European ticket. But chances are that they won't, so next year they will generate less income. But they have a team full of star players that cost a lot of money... so what to do 🤷‍♂️.

IMO, there should have been financial fair play arangements in the UEFA and FIFA years ago. But because of all the money and power, that never happened. I'm not really sure how Germany functions at the moment, but most of our annalists out here look at Germanny for a good example of what should be done on a European level.

@Kwek00 Yeah. What they will learn from this is that they have to do it more slowly and with better PR.

@Burnley123 We'll see, but I don't really believe there will be a lot of lessons. I'm pretty pessimistic because of the large sums. I also wonder when those spanish teams will finally start facing reality. A couple of years ago, there was a scandal that certain big teams even got EU money from the Spanish governement that was supposed to be for another project, which was...well, weird.
