Crocodile tears. All 12 teams should start next season on -20 points.

Crocodile tears. All 12 teams should start next season on -20 points.

Pure slime. It was one of the most cringe-inducing things I’ve seen in football.

Relegate all teams involved in this.

The managers, players and fans were not part of the discussion or the decision making but you want to punish them anyway?

Yes. The managers, players and fans have been happy to reap the rewards given to them by these vultures. As I posted yesterday, you hear the odd moan about ordinary people being priced out of football with spiraling ticket prices, but then ‘Oh, look! We are spending £150,000,000 on a center-half and a keeper!”

You get in bed with these types - be prepared to take the good with the bad. The managers and players of these clubs have been stuffing their pockets with outrageous wages and the supporters have been largely compliant as long as the trophies come in.

No victims here - they’re all complicit.

Punish these clubs severely. They’ve shown a total lack of respect for football.

The owners of Liverpool have made a rift with the fans which won't heal so quickly.

I think a few players coming in for massive fees will keep them happy.

Disgusted with Liverpool FC. Disgraced my hometown. I know many Liverpool fans who feel the same way.

Greedy bastards who don't give a rat about the loving fans but their pockets.

Look at your own team, Everton.

Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly agreed to an astonishing £14 million deal to take over as Everton boss. The 60-year-old will earn £2.5 million if he keeps the Toffees in the Premier League. That'll be in addition to his huge £11.5 million a year contract, which makes him the third highest-paid manager in England's top flight.

Everton F.C. 2020-21 Payroll

Yep. Ridiculous cash.

As you know, I’m not a bitter Evertonian. I wanted Liverpool to win the league last season.

However, the fact remains that the owners of Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal in particular were the ringleaders of this outrage from England.

If Everton had been a member of this dirty half-dozen, I’d have been calling for them to get relegated too.

Do you think there should be no punishment here?

What a week! At least Spurs and United supporters are enjoying a silver lining to this storm cloud of a week in the form of the backs of Jose and Woodward. Otherwise a devastating few days for football.

Lol, Henry never had to apologize to Boston Red Sox fans like this when they traded away Mookie Betts, the league's best player
