Don’t see much changing by the 3rd April sadly. Might just have to stop the season, give Liverpool the title, do relegation play offs and leave it as that

Finally seen sense. Far too late mind you. Really took high profile cases for you to act. Embarrassing leadership

Shame it actually took someone in football to get it before you acted. But well done.
