European Super League

Do you want the ESL to happen?

This looks like it's dying now. The threat of being kicked out of the CL is starting to take effect.

Problem is, United and Real will probably stick with this until the dying end. Hopefully the loss of a huge cash injection will cause the Glazers to sell up, but i'm pretty sure they'll still continue to leech of us for a long time to come
 
Wouldn't be surprised if the Glazers/Woodward wont mind City and Chelsea (and whoever else) pulling out because they'll see it as them getting a bigger share of the total money.
 
I predicted that City would be the first club to leave, I was wrong and shocked it was Chelsea. Might do the lottery tomorrow

Manchester United and Real Madrid are the big ringleaders in this.

We'll be the last to pull out.

We'll be left with the disgrace.

Good. I hope all of football recognises our owners as the drivers in this and respond accordingly.

To be honest, good, hopefully it'll pile on pressure to get the Glazers out of our club for good.
 
City is actually the key, these big clubs as well as JP Morgan can’t compete with the royal family.
 
Chelsea, city withdrawing. Barcelona not confirmed?

Chelsea 'told' they can't leave European Super League by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez

Chelsea and Manchester City are believed to be the most skeptical about the new competition, but as per Perez who spoke in an interview on Monday, he says they can't make a U-turn now.

"The contract of the Super League is binding. Nobody can leave, we will work all together. All the clubs signed the contracts last Saturday, there's no problem."

Cant make a deal with the devil and then try to back out.

The Glazers. Can we please distinguish between the cnuts that own us and the club. They aren’t Manchester United and they’re about to fecking realise that.

I mean sure. You can say Glazers' man Utd are a disgrace. And yes, those shit stains have to be sent to a laundry. It's just really sad that of all the marketing oriented approach to football and rubbish management of the club, there was a new low to be achieved for a club that I've followed for over 20 yrs. That shit hurts
 
It feels wrong cheering on City, Barcelona and Chelsea.

If Liverpool pull out before United, it'll reflect really poorly on us.

Tin hat territory: Chelsea and City only signed up so that they could then get the good publicity for backing out.

I don’t think that’s why they signed up, but I reckon they definitely thought this was always an option

I don't, but it is a good point you raise. An email of a few lines which is personalised is worth so much more than a template.

I shouldn't say this but Parliamentary Committees and Government Departments basically ignore anything which is done to a template as they assume (conveniently) that is it a bot, not a real person.

Done,

I stole the Labour party's online letter template just rejigged the names of the recipients. Slightly less lazy but not by much. :devil:

Maybe the Chelsea fans have shut the whole thing down anyway

:wenger:
 
I hope this leads to the dominos falling and this brief but horrific idea being put to bed. FSG have backed down to fan pressure before over ticket prices so I'm optimistic.

I see your point, but surely it is also important a Super League includes the best teams? With Bayern and PSG already missing from the project, losing two of the strongest English teams will be a blow.

I belive the British state will levy legislation that stops the British clubs from competing. At least Boris is being very vocal about that today

This might be one of the very few favorable outcomes from Brexit.

He'll announce the end of it all but dress it up with positive negotiations with UEFA.
My bet is he'll claim its paused.

My personal hope is that he admits that he has bankrupted Real and without the SL they'll have to wind up.

3 of the 4 Champions League semi finalists are no longer in it, how can they frame it as a Super League when the teams not in it are clearly better than the ones who still are? It's now just an even more ludicrous circle jerk between a couple of the best sides and then a load of borderline Europa League/Champions League level teams.

Not in this format by closing the door but with right changes I think this would be more interesting than UCL.

So you don’t want this to go ahead? Isn’t the whole point of it the owners wanting a closed door so these teams never get relegated and get continual money. That’s not changing.
 
it will be so embarrassing that united will be beside RM as the last 2 teams. Absolutely disgusting
