that that it collapsed so quickly.
Um I remember
I think Prince William coming out, Boris Johnson.
I mean it wasn't one of those um topics that completely kind of transcended just people in football talking about it.
It was like governments, royalty, everyone was was against this.
So um yeah, it's it's fair to say
Yeah, so I mean I was I was chief football reporter for the Standard at the time, but my the my kind of assigned London club was Tottenham and two days before this happened they just sacked Mourinho.
Um and about four days after it happened they had a cup final against Manchester City.
So um I remember coming and sort of sitting down uh at my desk on Monday morning and just think thinking, God, I'm not quite sure where to start here.
Um
And I do remember
The the slightly strange spectacle of um Ryan Mason previewing Tottenham's League Cup final 2021 and just all the questions being about the European Super League.
And of course poor Ryan Mason couldn't answer any of these questions and it just kind of uh actually a a kind of good example of of the absurdity, uh one of my big bugbears in football of of executives and owners and indeed sporting directors in this country never talk.
Talking about never talking to the media and never being accountable to fans, and and that was kind of the ultimate example, this this caretaker manager who presumably knew absolutely nothing about the club's decision to join the European Super League, trying to preview a cup final that he hadn't prepared for until a couple of days before, and having to to face all these questions.
Yeah.
So yeah, but uh I think for for everyone, um uh particularly people doing the the kind of
business element like Matt, it it was a it was a crazy week.
Yeah.
No, and I think that's a really interesting point.
And I'm already really bored of the new Champions League format.
