    Clement finally sacked, knew this would happen.

    Hope we terminate the loan and save Sanches from that dumpster fire.

    Update: Project now officially terminated and no further games this season.
    Both sides realized that things would only get more heated, as activists already announced plans for future games.

    Yup, but Germans are still helping them with other smaller projects and logistics.

    The U20 thing has been overhauled, national youth players will replace some of the players and they are going from country to country, or going to England or other countries.

    The whole project is not officially dead. At least word is it aint. Destination has been altered.

    This type of fall. Fourteen points out of first place. Damn.

    Lot of blame to go around, but mainly I think that Real Madrid choose to let go of players that they never adequately replaced, mainly Pepe, Morata, and James, but also Danilo, and they put too much faith in the health and form of several players, mainly Bale, Varane, and Benzema, that have failed.

    I would absolutely hate it, but if Zidane pushed for those moves or lack of moves, then he deserves to be sacked. I doubt it, though, seems like someone up top stacked the deck against him.

    Understandable, as many only agreed because they desperately need any money they can get to stay afloat.

    These clubs had already calculated the 15k into their finance plan, so there has to be some kind of insurance from the league.

    And remember, the vast majority accepted the deal and would've played, so your statement is a bit off. The clubs didn't terminate this project.

    I think it is nothing more than a project, sure they signed papers but according various reports it was totally voluntary.

    Stuttgarter Kickers, Waidhofen Mannheim among others refused to play in those games in advance, it was dependent on who got Time (Scheduling conflicts and less time to rest) and who got enough Interest/Avoidance of political dispute.

    Sure, some of them ball clubs did it for money, but not everyone!

    They dun want to play - wasn't off because it was directed straight at DFB, U20 and some of the clubs.

    DFB assured that the games would be continued to take place before no audience at all but the TRUST was already broken.

    BTW yeah because it was voluntary I dun think DFB is feeling obliged to pay them, but for Xmas sakes, give them a sum!

    And it wasn't meant in a mean manner. German media just make up the best and worst headlines.

    Yea I didn't mean to attack u either, just wanted to clarify that the clubs didn't terminate this project and would've been happy with additional income, so it's understandable they are pissed when the 15k they already calculated into their financial plan are suddenly gone.

    Now it is very difficult to come up with additional money during the season.
