Holy shit it's going to get heated with Chelsea fans isn't it?
Good on them, I hope we do the same

European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
The way this is going, if UEFA come in with a sweetener and its back to as you were, it would seem like a missed opportunity to sort the game out.
I would bet on it.
I only sweetener that would work for these clubs is guranteed Champions League football regardless of where they finish in the League.
I genuinely wonder what these club executives are thinking right now. Fly on the wall and all that.
What a shitstorm they've caused.

That’s why it’s been tried to push it through now
Damn! Fair play Chelsea fans.
Delightful! Plenty of games to get our voices heard!
Blind panic I would imagine. If the fans of all these clubs simply sit down and stop the games from happening, no way this goes through.
Fair fecks to the Chelsea fans. The cynic in me tells me that they did come to terms with being owned by a corrupt Russian so they'll come to terms with that tournament as well but still...Good signs.
It's not about labelling anyone as big baddy, it's about saying it as it is. Joel Glazer is the Vice Chairman of the Superleague and United and Liverpool's owners have been at the forefront of the Super League disccissuions.
I think they really under estimated how pissed off people are already after a year of lockdown. This is just sending people over the edge and they aren't just going to calm down in a week or two and let it happen.
People are willing to protest over wearing a face mask during a pandemic for god sake.
"It is understood that Woodward ‘delivered a briefing via Zoom to explain the club’s position at their training base’ with ‘the reception among many of the squad’ said to be ‘lukewarm at best’."
Via zoom.. classic Woodward, spineless cnut.

Which is why it is announced now, not when things are a bit more opened up. They would be hoping everyone would stay at home. That the fans would take it all nice and quietly. They got that wrong.
Bet he also had a cat filter on to hide even more.
Delap will always be a legend!
Hope the kick-off gets delayed because of that 
I was a civil servant working on legislation for a couple of years, and here is why I treat the legislative route as something which needs to be taken with a pinch of salt...
It is the State Opening of Parliament on 11 May. No time to legislate before then, and a normal Parliamentary process for a Bill can take anything from six to twelve months, in addition to a pre-legislative timescale, including consultation and drafting which can take anything from 12-24 months.
Now it may be the case that a Bill is already drafted - Government departments have literally hundreds of legislative proposals 'ready to go', but usually there isn't parliamentary time to bring them into effect.
Even in this case the Government only controls the timetable of the Commons, not the Lords, meaning that if individual Lords wish to filibuster, delay or amend legislation, there is little Government can do (as this isn't a Bill relating to taxation). So immediately I think whether there are any Peers who could be influenced by the six clubs to delay or amend legislation? It isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
All in all, the ESL could be in place before legislation is passed, especially if the Government lose focus on this issue, or if the protests wane.
The best things to do would be for posters to absolutely deluge Parliamentarians, especially Select Committees, and keep up the pressure.
Please write to the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee here: cmscom@parliament.uk
There is an equivalent Lords Committee, the Communications Committtee, which can be contacted here: holcommunications@parliament.uk
I do know from experience that emails can make a difference. The average number of public responses to a Government consultation is only TWENTY SEVEN. Even hundreds of emails can influence policy. I've written. Please consider doing so too.

I'm all for a proper protest. But they at least could put their masks on.
I think the premier league TV rights coming up for auction in a few weeks is probably the main driver
14 clubs will be facing going insolvent unless they agree to keep the big 6 in the league ... I'm a cynic and that just seems like too coincidental
If this is true, then Eddy will live up to his reputation of a person many consider him to be.
Agree with that.
Yes, Klopp is the king muppet
feckING DO IT ROMAN NO ONE WANTS THAT SHIT
Depending on the COVID policy of the training ground this could be a complete non-story.
Must've been after seeing Cech getting booed walking through the crowd. Man's a saint.
Fair fecks to Chelsea, now 11 to go.

Good lad
But the Super League isn't about not participating in the PL anymore? It's replacing the CL for this select group of clubs.
Yes! I hope this is true.
