UEFA Unveiled

The Republic of Ireland Premier League club, Drogheda United FC ejection form the Conference Europe League Cup for the 2025-26 season is the first of the UEFA to flex their rulings to ban clubs with dual owners with a host of Premiership clubs escaping European expulsion in the past and present tense under the same rulings Drogheda are dual owned alongside the Danish club Silkeborg with the Danish pastries being preferred to participate in Europe due to being deemed of higher recognition the United States based Trivela Group own both clubs, with a third club acquisition under their umbrella on a 76% share come ground holding stake at Walsall FC where it has to be said are a universe’s saddle ride away from the conflabs of European dialogue.

Currently (at the time of writing) Crystal Palace are into the same mixer with the Lyon Club owner John Textor having a 44.97 percent ownership of the Palace with both clubs having qualified for the Europa League, eagle eyes on this narrative, to fall in line with the Drogheda United FC ejection? Clubs to come under the Manero callouts as termed to be under the same rulings but to have escaped European ejection, to be one pot of protection for the so-called elite clubs or of higher standings and a pot for the lesser lights to be punished, that’s the continued future projection, the callouts, ‘Let’s go’.

Clubs on the burners simmering away under an umbrella of secrecy to a degree to suppress multi-club ownership. UEFA’s termed ‘blind trust’, to prevent a conflict of interest with dual ownership conflict to remove board members working onboard the two club syndrome moving heads from one seat to another with UEFA facilitating clubs to jump through a mocked up loophole. The club callouts, Chelsea’s sister club, Strasbourg FC, who have qualified for UEFA’s Conference Cup to highlight the ruling, Chelsea’s furtive meeting with UEFA, to come to it’s conclusions. Manchester City for their sketchings, have ownership involvement with 13 clubs at named footballing outposts in India, Bolivia and Uruguay, but of note is the Girona FC headed under the City Football Group at 47% being of the La Liga, City also have acquisition value of Italy’s Palermo FC. Leicester City for their part have historical value on dodging the financial sustainability have ownership of the Belgian club OH Leuven. The Foxes competed in the 2020-21 Europa League and the 2021-22 Conference Cup. The rules were not applied, all be it OH Leuven had not qualified for Europe being of second division status.

Staying in the East Midlands with Nottingham Forest, who have qualified for the UEFA Conference League, with club owner Evangelos Marinakis of Greek origins, owner of two other clubs, the Olympiakos and the Portuguese club Rio Avenue. Into the conflict zone, with Forest and Greece’s Olympiakos flagging up for European competition via the Conference League and Champions League respectively. At Manchester United, it is well versed that United’s part owner on a 25% stake Sir Jim Radcliffe owns the French club Nice and the Swiss Super League club, Lausanne Sport. It has to be said that UEFA make it up as they go along on their flagship ruling, not adhering to its own rules, flagged up, the Manero callouts.

Paul Pogba

Toys out of the pram, Paul Pogba stated that Juventus did not support him during one’s ban for digesting a prohibited substance dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a long snaked word for the snake in the grass, Pogba. The termed DHEA is the precursor of an anabolic steroid to increase testosterone, energy to combat fatigue, we can cast doubts on Pogba’s version of events.

A club’s criteria would be to rehabilitate the player, to outthrow the ban, for the player to return to the squad, to keep the transfer value of the player on any future transfer, not to disengage with their player asset, the Drogba thick shit syndrome, drug cheats always look for a get out clause, the blame game, that’s the flipside, if you feel the heat around the corner, do a runner and Pogba’s been proved to go missing in action during one’s playing career,

Into highlight mode, with Pogba’s Manchester United debacles to the Frenchman jetting off to Dubai with an alleged injury then to going all out on the various social come media outlets with filmed shots lifting leg weights with one’s thigh strapped up in a Dubai gym, a fake jaunt from the Manchester dreary weather to disco dancing and ski sloping on the piste, all while unavailable for team selection, the stupidity charades to outrun beyond belief, to be trusted? Pogba’s ban has been reduced to eighteen months direction of the CAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, from the original four year ban, which is the norm for CAS, who avenued to justify their existence, the money coffers being the true take. Pogba holds no credibility prior and now as articled.

The CAS chose to ignore the anabolic steroid termed as DHEA, a breathtaking digestion breaches out to the named dehydroepiandrosterone to in turn increase testosterone, energy driven to combat fatigue, the precursor of the steroid clinch, the CAS deemed Pogba to have digested unintentionally it has to be said that the CAS were privy to all of Pogba’s movements? A double whammy, the disparaging Pogba directed to the ‘old lady’ cup of team at hand, the Juventus FC led to a mutual cause, Pogba’s contract terminated November 2024 as Monaco have signed the Frenchman on a 2 year contract, tax free residence, Pogba the ‘Artful Dodger’, link to article Nov 2019 ‘Manero Follows the Hype’.
