I don't know how to use the like button. Probably from the same fans who said Levy would never build us a new stadium, he would get the planning permission and then sell.

Levy has raised the profile of the club just for this moment.
He saw it coming long term with the stadium.
But he definitely saw it coming in the last two years.
The decisions he has made only make sense if you think that Levy knew.
Appointing the highest profile manager in football. Doing an Amazon documentary. Delaying getting a stadium naming rights sponsor. Bringing Gareth Bale back. All terrible decisions but make sense in light of today.

Agreed. It would have happened without us. Not being in this could have led to the club collapsing

I agree, it really could have been that serious. He had no choice.
Everton will be in panic mode now, what of their new stadium plans.
Was thinking the same. They'll need to pause their plans whilst this shakes out. There is no way they could go ahead with £500m spending when the value of PL right might fall considerably

All depends on how they were financing it
They were getting a loan off the council, but the mayor is going to prison for bribery and corruption (it was him who agreed the loan)
Now Usmanov may need to step in and go public with his money to fund it
I don't think any of those decisions mentioned will have had an impact on our involvement

With the ESL, Levy has shown once and for all he does have the best interests of the club at heart. As much as I dislike what is happening, we are far better off - financially - being in than not. Having the best interests of football at heart is a different matter. But then I suppose that's not his job.
I feel hugely conflicted by the whole thing.

Do you think anyone who can afford to be buying THFC is not going to want to be part of this ESL?

You are assuming that the ESL happens regardless of the reactions and fallout from yesterday. I hope and believe that to not be the case.
It seems pretty solid - the money being talked about is from world wide tv audiences and sponsorships, id be surprised if there's a level of fallout from disgruntled match going fans that will scratch that tbh

Just realised Leicester aren't in it, rodgers now has a reason to come here.
I'm totally against it, burn it down!
I'm totally against it, burn it down!
Exactly how I feel. I hate the whole idea. On the moral side I want us to stay out of it, but being pragmatic, if it's going to happen we need to be in it from a financial perspective.

I don't believe Daniel has sacked a manager before without having a solid back-up plan, aka a manager who is confirmed within 24 hours or a clear shortlist from which he will then pick someone - usually when that preferred candidate is still in a job somewhere. Don't know if that's the case now as well, but he has witnessed the decline of spirit and results for a few weeks now. Let's not underestimate him. Courageous, too, to sack the manager he had been waiting for for so long. Regardless of the Super League disaster, I'll back him all the way.
