Ewan has managed to get Gary Linekar engage with him on Twitter.
He will be creaming himself now even though Linekar just made a fool of him
Really? I didn't read it like that.
Now, I'm no Ewan fan. In fact, I needed to search through Lineker's tweets as I stopped following Ewan some time ago, but:
Lineker reckons that the club (clubs) have realised the error of their ways and had a moral epiphany (obv major paraphrasing from me but this is the gist of it)
McKenna thinks it's more like the first was a commercial decision, and on realising the outrage the second was also a calculated commercial decision. That is, they realised the sh!t storm that had started and the damage to the brand would cost more in the long run.
McKenna's contrarian and downright insulting way of arguing makes it difficult to agree with him, but I think a lot of people have taken sides in this:
Liverpool fans - obviously
Rival club fans - deep down totally relieved it was Lpool and not their club, but using this as points in the bank for when the shoe is on the other foot
Lineker - Always takes the position that football is intrinsically good. Likes to cheerlead about the many good things that come about through football, but ignore all the nasty side. He will always take the players / clubs sides (where they dont differ) in things like pay disputes, financial wrongdoings etc
