Asking for the Leicester game to be postponed to play Rennes in the modern day Intertoto Cup?

Please tell me this is made up.

This Conference League has more prestige. Better marketing, management of this league. Teams like Roma, PSV, Marseille, Leicester.

Not that bad + a good final in Tirana. An european final.

The aim of the conference league is

The new structure for UEFA club competitions ensures that at least 34 UEFA national associations are represented in the group stage of one or more competitions.

Direct from the UEFA website.

So basically it's a competition so that everyone gets a lollipop.

Asking for Leicester to be postponed so we could play Rennes instead, may have been a calculated move, knowing it would be rejected, but to put EUFA on the back foot?

Harder for them to boot us out, if we've been seen to try every avenue to get the game played?

Possibly but the fact we are even attempting to stay in Europe is frustrating to me. Handicapping Conte IMO

Do you Spurs supporters think that UEFA will award you a 3-0 win against Rennes when Spurs called the game off? The government may have banned the use of your training grounds, but that isn't where the game was going to be played and there must be other training facilities in London that could have been used. As I understand it (happy to be corrected), Spurs called off the game unilaterally and simply advised UEFA and Rennes that it had done so. UEFA merely confirmed the game had been called off. Spurs even published a report on its website that showed at least 24 players present at the last training session before the Rennes game, so having insufficient players available due to COVID can't be used as an excuse. If Spurs pushes that argument and it is proven to be incorrect, Spurs could be excluded from European competition for one year. It is up to Spurs to come up with a new date that is acceptable to both clubs, which is proving to be impossible with the schedules of both clubs as they were. Virtually all the responsibility to get the game played sits with Spurs, so how is UEFA going to award you the win? There is already plenty of precedent this year and last of clubs being awarded a 3-0 loss or being kicked out of European competitions due to a game not being able to go ahead. If corrupt UEFA does find a way to do so because they want to keep Spurs in the Conference League at all costs, Vitesse is heading straight to CAS to get that decision overturned.

cry more
 
Now there is a mature response Jake. Is that the standard that can be expected on a Spurs forum? Vitesse has the advantage here, so I think it is the Spurs supporters who are doing the crying out of desperation not to get eliminated from a competition they were probably favourites to win at the start of the season.
