Apprantly Perez is already in rehearsals for the presenting of the first ESL final:
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Because UEFA were announcing their CL reform plans today I would imagine.
Just when sign making businesses thought the covid boom might be coming to an end, football steps up to the plate.
Football fans sure do love a banner.
Asking the important questions. I'm out, if I don't see Ronaldo singing the anthem.
As much as I would like to see that happen, I think UEFA and other FAs haven't got the balls to do it. At this point its a game of who folds first.
Well, if UEFA are acting illegally..
Having beaten Gibraltar and North Korea in the Semis
Leave Gib out of this.
I don't understand this concept.
While I totally agree with the not needing to qualify part of it and that it is taking away the dreams of all the clubs in the pyramid of playing at the highest level and am opposed to it because of that but the idea that I would rather watch Palace play Southampton 2 times a year than Liverpool play AC Milan is nonsensical. If I continue to watch the mediocre teams in the EPL play year in year out why would I get bored of watching better teams if they were in the same league as us?
Yes I get that there is no relegation but I'm far more interested in who is going to win the league each year rather than who is going to get relegated.
Yep there was, where final position actually mattered
It's going to take a hit, no doubt.
Imo if the 'super' league happens Uefa should just remodel the Champions League a bit - inevitably reduce the size and there'd still be some top games.
Then hope that initial interest in the 'super' league wanes and those clubs ask to return.
Ahh probably. I like my idea better though, but actually the dates don't work out.
In Ligue 1 only, you have Pinault, Ratcliffe, Rybolovlev, Seydoux and QSI, Marseille are supposed to be sold but McCourt is still there and could see a new opportunity. In Germany you obviously have already big clubs such as Bayern and Dortmund but also Leipzig, then you have all the clubs owned by big companies like Wolfsburg and Leverkusen who now can see the CL sky. That's without talking about Porto, Benfica, Roma, Napoli or Ajax.
Mid to long term, Football doesn't start or ends with the Super Greedy League, there is a lot of clubs with history and potential outside of that league.
it is one of many technical issues. The big picture is Fifa/UEFA structure let the clubs earn billions, while modern platforms like Amazon or Dazn will let them earn tens of billions. It is TV vs Internet battle.TV will eventually lose.
I'd say money.
the perfect ref. they would be completely silent, making themselves almost invisible, unlike legacy refs like mike dean.
The Italian Federation up in arms but then they play the final of their FA Cup in China etc every year........ and i read somewhere that the PL were considering playing some PL games in other countries too.
Double standards ?
Double standards ?
This had to have been in motion for the team that have come out to come out. They were never going to risk this if they hadn't already checked that they had the judicial system on their side. Companies like JP Morgan and Amazon aren't getting into bed with this unless they are sure they can pull it off.
Must be one of the quickest moving polls we’ve had
21 voting yes, WTF?
The club's owners who sanctioned this wouldn't have even thought about that record and what it means, you can literally bet your bottom dollar.
We wouldn't need VAR because they would always be exactly be in the right position due to their super-human speed.
Russian troll farm
Knobheads the lot of them
I bet the owners of non shady 6 pl clubs are loving hearing that! Taken down by the greed of others.
To be fair, i didn't check the dates either before responding, and wouldn't have completely ruled out your idea, since it's comic-villain-y enough to fit right in ^^
I'm not one of them but everyone has the right to his opinion.
Don't worry, it is just Joel deploying the bots.
Juventus for example are traded on the stock exchange, they are legally bound to disclose this information.
Is that stadium sponsorship one-off or a recurring payment?
Tebas the Spanish league guy wanted games in the US and brought the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia. Quite the hypocrite. He just wants his slice of the pie and is seething at getting outplayed by the big clubs
That would make the competition looks very stupid, to have teams which area already knocked out to proceed to semi.
I guess it just better to hand the trophy to PSG rather.
Even more so when there's nothing at stake.
This place has been infiltrated.
We have to, and if we somehow don't get kicked out I'll be hoping Roma or Villarreal win it.
Dreams can't be buy.
Exactly, UEFA have a lot more to lose than the clubs have if they kick out the clubs from the Europa/UCL. It would hurt UEFA more and would do more harm than good as it would just make the teams in the ESL's decision easier.
