I think the best that we can hope for is a fine for not controlling the fans ir somesuch. Nothing for bot fulfilling a fixture as they will play the safety card.

Yes it will be interesting to follow how this is handled.
PL and Sky cannot be happy. Bad image for 'the product'.
A prime time fixture cancelled affecting the largest Sky subscription audience that is available. Plus the Rags tried to shaft them both with the ESL.
Logic says it should be a massive punishment.

But money talks. Pl and Sky need to keep the Rags on board. Need those subscriptions from the global 'fan base'.
Need to keep the 50/50 scarf owners sweet.

So does money really talk?

It'll be a slap on the wrist. They'll not want to bite the hand that feeds it.

This and penalising the red shite with a points deduction would also hand us the league which no-one wants
Funny how this has all started during a time when PSG beat the german rags and city are in the semis of the chumps league whilst on course to win our country league for the third time in four seasons. Coincidence? Ha, dont make me laugh

Ratboy the Watt Tyler of the Swamp - he should be prosecuted for inciting the mob.

Imagine being influenced by Gary Neville :lol:

I’d call life a day I think.

Neville downplaying the what can only be described as thuggery, to claim the rags have had enough.

It’s just laughable. Souness called it out and the presenter didn’t know where to look. It wasn’t in anyone’s script to put down the rags and he didn’t know how to respond.

As others have said, where was Neville a month ago? 6 months ago? A year ago? 5 years ago? What has changed? The ESL? Didn’t see him tubthumping against the Glazers earlier in the season when they and dippers announced their “rescue package” for the English football pyramid.

Is it because he rag hordes have suddenly realised this last week we won the first pot of the season, we took a big stride in the CL semi final away leg and are now just one game away from a third PL title in four years. And they realised that they are falling further and further behind. But the.best thing about all of this is the futility of it all. The Glazers aren’t likely to sell any time soon. Indeed they probably turned on the news this morning having not realised what was going on and casually talked about last nights MLB results. The rags are nothing more than an investment and ATM for the Glazers. Protests will be water off a ducks back to them.

Neville et all can moan about it all they want. It won’t change a thing

A very small minority of their global fan base...but 100% of their Manchester-based support. None of their fans from Ghana or Taipei were allowed to travel!!! :lol:
