Fair enough. I reckon you give them way to much credit. There was a comment from a Bayern director to a journalist, in response to a query about how the 12 must have a series of steps lined up to push this through: Never underestimate the incompetence of some of these guys (paraphrasing).I'm just giving my theory for why it fell apart. I don't buy the notion that it was fan reaction after just one day, especially when it was anticipated.
Clubs pulling out wasn't part of the plan, I'm just saying Juventus, Madrid and Barcelona cannot afford to stop.
I don't think they anticipated the scale of reaction. And that's been key to unravelling this for now. If they can't afford to stop, then they'll have to be stopped or else the closed-shop model will happen.
