Where did you get that from? If City and Chelsea back out, then it's dead,
Well they'll ask in theory be making so much money, nobody will have any spending advantage cos everyone will be minted
My favorite example is the move of the Grizzlies from Vancouver to Memphis. The name made sense in Vancouver, but then kept the same name in Memphis.
The Glazers are key architects of it.
Milner clearly not fecking happy.
Milner going against it
Well done
Well done
There is no consequence for losing in the super league is there? Guaranteed to be in it each year.
Well done Milner.
Yes
Well mate, quit simply dare I say it by performance. We are the second best team in the toughest league in the world which certainly deserves spot in the "best 12".
Was thinking more of Ole and the players
James Milner against it.
Good to see him speak out.
Good to see him speak out.
Milner said he doesn't like it. No nonsense stuff... now get him a Yorkshire brew.
We need all the players speak out against it.
Spot on, respect for that
Fair fecks James Milner.
If removing the rivalry roots, the local rivalry of the two regions, then yes, it's just game. If the ESL teams remove themselves away from their national league, (even relocating is possible), then we only have the franchise clubs by name only. No tradition, no rivalry at that point.
Well Milner has just gone up in my estimation, he's still a Liverpool, City, Leeds cnut though.
Fair play Milner.
Well done Milner, but Sky trying to make a story out of it... 
He's a smart bloke that's for sure, but this is also true when when it comes to UEFA.
Sign him up!
So he can stay clear of those scummy clubs who signed up for this like ou....feck.
Fair play to Milner.
Well said
Well said James Miller ..... give that man a Ribena
However much the teams are making City's owners will always be richer.
But yeah I'd imagine the spending framework will mean every team has a set budget roughly the same.
I don't hear it. The only I saw was Matt Law excused these 2 clubs as being blackmailed into joining ESL.
Yup.
When its being played in Atlanta or Boston, because it will, the owners will make more money by doing that, then its just a football match between two teams using 100+ year old names for little other than marketing.
Regardless of the team he plays for, he comes across as a really likeable person. Respect for that comment.
I think thats his point?
Cerefin's going to look like right cnut if he doesn't put his phone away.
Can you provide a link to Milner's comments?
James Milner: "I don't like it and hopefully it doesn't happen"
From the BBC
Liverpool midfielder James Milner talking to Sky Sports: "You have to put in two good halves ands we didn't do that. In the second half we looked tired, probably the Madrid game took a lot out of us.
"For us we are trying to coventrate on the game. There is a lot going on but we have to be professional. We heard first when it broke yesterday.
What is your view of the European Super League? "Same as everyone there is a lot of questions. I can only say my view, I don't like it and hopefully it doesn't happen. I can imagine what has been said about it and I probably agree with a lot of it."
Why would they do it. Bridge is already burnt. They would now wait for things to be black and white.
Imagine how good the standing of these two could be now if either of them had the spine to say no. They would have been completely whitewashed as none of the traditional big clubs could have pointed their fingers at them anymore. But they didn't. All the money these clubs invest in marketing themselves around the world and they missed the biggest PR trick imaginable.
