If UEFA and FIFA weren’t so corrupt I’d take them seriously but they helped created the monster.
Ceferin: "Woodward called me last Thursday saying he's satisfied with and supports the reforms. The only thing he wanted to talk about was FFP when he had already signed something else"
Ed being a cnut
I only just saw that the super league is chaired by Perez
Wonder if the refs would be biased.
Their owners don't want to risk the Qatar FIFA World Cup
One of our only players who actually does any of his own social media output.
Proper throwback footballer.
Not necessarily true. They'll still need a competitive product to compete with other sports. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised to see many more 'trades' of the best players to keep things competitive amongst the league. May as well just go the WWE route and have things decided before so drama is guaranteed.
I just can't see how this would work speaking from a fan's perspective. I mean, how the feck could you possibly take any sort of pride or excitement from winning this hollow piece of trash. It would mean absolutely nothing. There would be absolutely no sense of accomplishment. We're basically talking about a few exhibtion matches that evetually culminates with a "winner". I mean, a winner of fecking what? You haven't achieved jack shit. It's a glorified pre-season competition. It's the Emirates Cup with billions of pounds thrown at it.
I hope we come out to the NWO theme when we next play at old trafford.
“Devil may care said:
The clubs are destroying their own domestic leagues and that will cripple the divisions below them, it's not about good and evil it's about the degrees of the latter, what these clubs are doing is so self centered it's indefensible on any level and worse than UEFA.”
Agree, and I am very sad that Utd are involved in this. It’s probably the start of the end of lower league football and is of the utmost greed. Obviously talks with Sky , clubs, agents has been going on for some time. Disgrace !!
Shameful day for world football.

Their owners have sacrificed a fortune by staying away from this league. Then again, Bayern is a majority fan-owned club so it's not surprising they value integrity ahead of financial gain.
The sooner we rid our club of the Glazers the better.
So, how many of our players will have their contracts cancelled and can walk for free?
Cya Bruno, Bye Pogba. Sayonara Rashford.

This they don´t give a shit about what we think.
Yep. It is literally that. Clubs competing purely based on their name and revenue, no consequences to losing and no meaning to winning it.
It is a bunch of billionaire twats that can't comprehend their plaything doesn't get to play in the Champions League the next year if they have a bad season. Much better to have a guranteed spot so you don't have to invest as much each year while keeping more profits, who cares where you finish.
Because Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also the chairman of Bein media group which has UCL TV rights, he's on the UEFA executive comitee and Qatar hosts the WC so they don't want to mess with FIFA too much. Lots of reasons.
Whole lot of speculation that the domestic TV-revenues will shrink. It's far to early to make that type of assessment just yet.
Imagine being a player at one of these clubs and not knowing what’s going on and then reading this. Surely there’s going to be chaos at the clubs involved until all this becomes clear. Can imagine some players are properly kicking off behind the scenes.
The refs will be interesting if this ever happens. I presume any official who takes part in the Super LEague will be banned from all UEFA and FIFA competitions.
Get this c*nt out of Manchester.
If true. Brilliant move by them. Putting pressure on players. Now to domestic associations. What will they do?
You can remove the titles but you can't erase the memories so that's pointless.
It's the owners that need removing but that's pretty much impossible to do, unfortunately we are one of the many groups of fans that have lost our club. United hasn't been a fans club for over 20 years but we still held on to some of our identity, today that identity and the history are in complete tatters as the Glazers finally get what they set out for from day one. The cash pig has potentially found them a bottomless pit, not content with a vast amounts of money made in the Premier League and Champions league they want their cakes and eat it.
I actually feel slightly ashamed at what has become of United, but part of me isn't surprised in the slightest. Liverpool on the other hand have been happy with how FSG have been running the ship so today has been like a hammer blow to the head for them.
Probably ought to look into that figure more before saying it's better. Don't let them con you that easily.
This is good news. A Champions League with the likes of Bayern, Porto, Ajax, Napoli, Dortmund, Marseille, Roma, Celtic, Rangers, Benfica, Valencia, Sevilla etc with proper competition and qualification requirements could be more attractive for many than watching the super dull, super greedy clubs playing the same teams over and over again all year for the next 20 years with little/no variation.
Hopefully FIFA/UEFA stick to their guns - if they do, this whole miscalculation could prove ruinous to the American owners of these clubs.
As for the players, yes the financial rewards will be significant, but I'd bet that there will be a significant number of top players who will want to play for the country in a World Cup/Euros/Copa America etc, who will turn their backs on this fiasco.
Relegate us all.

The entire board structure is a who's who of football's biggest sacks of shit.
What has Bruno said?
"You know, Mr. Burns, you're the richest guy I know. Way richer than Lenny."
"Oh, yes. But I'd trade it all for a little more."
Good stuff. We need a hard line approach to stop this madness l
Next thing that needs to happen now is ban all the teams involved from the remaining CL, EL and domestic leagues. Strip them of all points and void all their remaining games as 0-3 against them. Yes, including us.
You actually think UEFA are the good guys in this scenario... My days.
Thanks for that info, I wasn’t aware of that. I suppose the big 4 in England didn’t anticipate the level of competition in the league today, which had made euro football harder to achieve. Of course it wouldn’t be a problem if United and arsenal weren’t so inept this decade.
You will see contracts cancelled everywhere as this is absolutely a change in conditions brought on by the actions of the employer.
That's bloody disgraceful. He speaks with forked tongue. Two faced git.
Ceferin: "Agnelli is the biggest disappointment of all. I've never seen a person that would lie as much and as persistently as he did. We didn't know we had snakes so close to us, now we know"
There's no turning back from this. These clubs have crossed the line. It will be near impossible to fix the relationship with UEFA if everything is canceled.
Either this competition goes through or the board of all the 12 clubs will have to leave.
I imagine it talks about playing in every competition imaginable apart from non-existent ones. The contract angle will be interesting
Guy is an absolute fecking tool.Woodward.
I wonder how being out of the UCL effects contractual obligations/stipulations. Surely most top players have things in their contracts regarding UCL.
