Spanish fans tend to like this idea, dont they ?
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Then someone will have to found another club and feck what has become Manchester United.
In another comment, he talks about saving football but in another says "we were ruined".The arrogance of the man.
At least have the balls to say "this makes us more money".
I wonder what happens to him/other ring leaders when they go out. Glazers don't really come here too much (and won't if they've got any sense) but Perez, Agnelli, etc will still go out (eg restaurants) and there's bound to be fans who either support non ESL clubs or support one but disagree (like most of us do).
It's great being mega rich but I wouldn't want to be abused (or worse) when I go out my door. Maybe they just have a shed-load of bodyguards?
Because they are consumer. Seriously this notion that you deserve to be pleased because you are proper supporter is incredibly naive. If large amount of people want something, that is what the corporation will do.
I don't like the idea because I have seen NBA implementation and it sucks. But the model CL wants to implement is absolutely horrible. Don't want bloated games in Europe. I am fine with league having teams of different levels of quality. That's why we have a long season. But in Europe cup competition, I want to see more competitive football. The only problem with this model is that it doesn't allow the founding members to get relegated. That if they find a way to rectify that and stop State and oligarchs from buying clubs , then I am for this. UEFA and Fifa are corrupt to the core and they need to be removed from this.
Can we not just stop this WITHOUT kicking the clubs out of the league and European competition? Everyone is being so hysterical about it.
Because they would consume more overall and generate them more.
I know there’s a lot of Corden fans on here...
Being serous though, he’s absolutely spot on
Absolutely spot on.
I agree it won't actually happen but the meeting today will result in a call for the 6 to get booted.
There's going to be a lot of posturing and brinksmanship in all this.
Same reason Disney/Marvel can rake in billions for making films for people who don't like films.
i had to delete a length insulting post after reading that post
We've got a lot of great global fans and it's part of this club but seriously get fecked to any that want english football ripped up to make it more convenient or suited to the fact they don't really like football.
I did exactly the same thing - I don't want to be banned
I've never been so angry about something connected with football in my entire life. That includes watching 84 crosses against Fulham, Nani getting sent off against Real Madrid and Agueroooooooooooo
EDIT - you can add West Ham away in 92, The Hand of God in 86, Gazza not connecting to the cross against Germany in 96 and numerous others.........

Love that Everton statement
Bloody hell. This man has no shame.
The stats they showed, the fans who in favor
I wonder if they are not polls from years ago cause without a doubt it's not recent and not after all the details they received It's utter madness. They are completely changing football for people that don't like football!!I’m sorry, but I’m not watching premier league without United, and this is exacerbated without the other clubs too. Might catch the odd MoTD, but viewership for this thing would be so poor.
What’s the championship viewership like?
Not sure if it had been posted here before, but Leipzig also want nothing to do with it as they posted 20 hours ago.
So the 3 clubs that will most likely be the most successful in Germany over the next decade don't want it and have officially declined.

Possibly, I think for all the fighting talk they will look to compromise. The 14 clubs may vote to kick them out but they can't actually do it, as they need 15 clubs to do that. People were wondering why Arsenal/Spurs were included in the 6.Well, there's one good reason.
Adding more weight to the possibility of a compromise somewhere down the line is the fact that UEFA are looking to increase the investment into their new-look CL from 4 billion to 6 billion.
I know how you feel. Don't worry though some kid the other side of the world with the attention span of a gnat will.
This doesn't make an iota of sense. Everyone will want to win it like the CL.
what time does everything kick off today?
All seven Leipzig fans around the globe rejoice at you calling them one of the three biggest clubs in Germany.
In what way have the Glazers shown in the last 10 years they want us to win the CL?
Their aim post Fergie, and we were only winning the title under Fergie because he's a genius, was to be just good enough to make top 4.
Now we're guaranteed a seat at the big table we're not even going to get that level of ambition.
Yeah the propaganda machine is cranking up. If Spanish fans of Madrid and Barca buy that then they reall have problems
Imagine being too nakedly greedy and capitalistic for a marketing vehicle of the Red Bull corporation.
I'm amazed at the lack of PR or spin from the 12 shitter clubs.
They've thrown the kitchen sink at it, we're one of the biggest spenders in world football in that period and we hired some of the mos decorated coaches ever.
I think them saying nothing is an attempt at PR.
Considering that RB Leipzig has no fans to speak of they would have probably survived joining this league. Bayern fans as far as I could gather are mostly opposed to this competition and Dortmund would absolutely drown in a shit storm of their fans if they joined. But non the less good to see that even Leipzig, despite all the external money injection still feels that needing to qualify by actually playing well and successful is a part of the game that should never be touched.
Completely and utterly disagree.
The Glazers don't give a shit about us winning the CL.
Fine, I changed it.
I didn't mean biggest club the way it read. I mean the 3 clubs that would be most likely to be a competitive factor within the ESL.
There's not much to disagree though, is there? We did spend a bomb, just not very wisely.
No, they have been driving this option (same as the option to market themselves completely apart from the DFB/DFL) as a bargaining chip to get better deals for themselves. The prospect of joining the ESL especially in its planned form would be an empty threat, though. This will never go through with their members (and this decision would need their vote otherwise they would be hell to pay at the next annual member conference with every elected person losing their seats). They rightfully put too much stock on the integrity of the Bundesliga and their standing as Record Champion.
What the hell are you on about? You say the only problem with this is that the founding members can't be relegated yet that's exactly everyone else's problem. It's a massive fecking problem and shouldn't be waved away like you're doing.
If they didn't, wouldn't they sit and line their pockets with profit and never spend on the team? We certainly haven't been terrible due to a lack of investment. Weve been terrible cause of poor decisions.
Money.
@carvajal posted video tweet of Agnelli explaining the research that they use to justify this SL.
He mentioned points regarding: young fan just want to be part of big events, follow players not clubs, supporting more than one club, not interest in football...
My interpretation is that all these points is not exclusive. Which means someone who may not be interested in football, would still pay to be part of the big events with others. To attend more events, they would support more than a club, or follow players.
We spent our own money. They haven’t given us a penny.
