There is something profoundly sad about all of this.
Bakes, I eh think it sink in yet. Perhaps if FIFA take some drastic action and ban we or the TTFF cancel all football for the forseeable future then it might hit home.....there is a kind of unreality to what happened today. I'm kinda in a waiting for the next shoe to drop kinda mode.....
dinho kinda touches on it... this is we football legacy, a hundred years of football as yuh put it, in the back of ah truck. We know that even if the players auction it they will be somewhat invested in seeing that the items fall into good hands, but this easily could have been levied by some other creditor and sold on the open market, lost to the public.
I also say it sad because yes, it didn't have to come to this. Jack obligate the TTFF with his comments promising to share the bonus. Next he advise the TTFF (along with Lalla) against settling. They spend a ton of money (fattening Lalla pockets in the process) fighting a case they never would have won, end up losing... and in the end Jack just wash he hand and slink off into a corner like he ent have nutten to do with it.
This is why it troubling to me to see man here laughing and celebrating... this ent no victory, Jack get away clean. Not saying the TTFF completely innocent, but Jack used them to do his thing and now he leave them holding de proverbial bag. Oliver Camps, Richard Groden et al ent lose, TnT football is who lost today. The players didn't even win... they collecting beads and baubles as payment on a million dollar debt, with little prospect of collecting more, at least until they drag Jack into court. There were no winners today.
