European Super League

What are they going to do. Have them walk down the street, Games Of Thrones style, throwing things at them, shouting shame.
Bezos in with the two footed challenge
Feck off, Amazon. They will be all over this like a rash. Cnuts.
Amazon basically saying “Ask us!”
They literally may as well have typed "until bidding opens for the rights to the super league which we will obviously be chomping at the bit for." at the end.
Why shouldn't the CL have that many teams? We need representation from all leagues to make it a true European competition. Just because you don't like the minnows competing shouldn't deny them the chance to experience the CL, would you be happy if the world cup was just 8 - 16 teams?
The super league is literally the opposite of what you're describing, the gap between big teams and small teams will be larger than ever with all the wealth and talent flowing upwards into the ESL where 15 teams will hoard the wealth and power of the entire sport. UEFA needs to change as does football in general but creating a league for the uber wealthy and Amazon streamers is not the way forward.
As far as I can see, this is a complete and utter coup. We have a shady little cabal of business men and bankers conspiring in secret to overthrow one of the most prestigious competitions on the planet so that they can line their own pockets. These assholes aren't acting in the best interest of the fans, they have no regard for us and the comments from Perez show an utter lack of respect for our intelligence.
Why do you dislike the current format so much out of interest? Why does the amount of teams bother you so much? What do you think the qualifying standards should be?
Yeah they should smash it down, and for that, we need to make Amazon PR freak out about the bad image. Then, the JPM guys will start think that this is not as lucrative as it would be, in fact, it could be far worse as they might have misunderstood what sports and football means outside of North America. Then hopefully, those a******** in Madrid and United will understand the reality.
They stand for the common man. Unless he's an employee reading the statement on his mobile while on the bog. In which case he just had his pay docked.
I mean it’s hardly a step backwards for them
Yeah they should have just joined this closed tinpot league too.
He's just saying that they don't need to.

Why is there a competition going on here to diminish so many personal rejections of this proposed monstrosity?
Didn't amazon say their employees don't piss and bottles but it turned out they had rules for pissing bottles the whole time?
They also tried to create fake twitter accounts where they opposed unionisation.
Basically, don't believe anything they say.
I wonder if the bankers, lawyers, investors, owners and co. foresaw the amount of political backlash. UEFA's rage was predictable but to have EU leaders put out a united front (for now) and turn it into a political battle of national identities seems unexpected to me. Will this subside in a couple of weeks?
We can't sit here and tell the Glazers that, even though we disagree, they can do whatever they want, because we'll support the club no matter what and continue to put money in their pockets. If we join the ESL and you're still on board, you're part of it, it's that simple. They need to know that this time there will be consequences and we simply won't accept it.
They don't love it but they fully understand it. It's a bit weird but basically it's one way to get the draft pick. It's stupid. I don't want football to be ran that way.
That City tweet is wild, what the hell
I hope our players react a bit like Zlatan. That they clearly announce that they will play the European Championships and the World Cup for their national team. That they can find another team to play for if things do not change.
Because people have to get realistic, expelling the big six from the PL is not the answer, making players or managers speak out against their employers in public is not the answer. The argument will get polarised instead of trying to come to a solution.
No but they have still refused to join, but still take a swipe anyway, makes you feel funny, I’ll ignore them from now onI mean it’s hardly a step backwards for them
That Zalatan quote - I can't find a source anywhere and it has a bunch of formatting/spelling mistakes.
Fair play to Guardiola. The only player or manager so far to actually come out with something of substance and something real
I'm assuming Zlatan's quotes are fake since I can't find any source for them.

Hahaha I have never seen that before. Amazing tackle
He did something similar to a child playing rugby
Very unlikely. They are so far away from everything, I truly believe they thought the fans would be behind them and them them for this brilliant idea. 100%
I remember Bayer Leverkusen getting to a CL final in Scotland. I can see why Spurs have been included but if the ESL was brought in during the early 2000s should Bayer be a founding member. It's more about how much money Spurs have been allowed to make actually due to EPL broadcasting success.
I think we all know it's bollocks that Arsenal sat in 9th can leapfrog West Ham and Leicester if they finish 3rd and 4th. Arsenal on 46 points could lose every game from now on and it wouldn't matter.
They must have struggled to find a bit that wasn't too openly against the SL
They're probably the closest to get out of it, that's why. Chelsea might be next. We will be last, and we are the most disgraceful of the lot right now. We have to do something about that ownership now if they will not understand the concept of sports in the UK and in Europe in general.That City tweet is wild, what the hell
I have no idea. I am not an American. I can imagine a situation where the owners keep tanking, then not getting a good draft pick, over and over until fans stop coming. Then they'll up sticks and move the "franchise" to a new city, saddling that new city with debts they'd accrue building a new fangled stadium.
Neither do other teams that have joined? So what if they don’t need to? Anyone that turns it down has my respect more than an opportunity to take a swipe and say wahh wahh what about this what about that.
Of course. They don't want to be subjected to FFP style rules. They're only involved because they don't want to be left out of a competition between the top clubs.
