European Super League

[SmallCaine]

Was this whole thing just a ploy to get more UCL money?

If it is then every single idiot involved should be sacked and every owner who agreed should have a mental competency tests. The stuff uefa voted on yesterday was already agreed to with no threat of esl.

All this has achieved is to piss off every fan including their own, piss off fellow clubs and make sure the next attempt is going to be laughed out of the building by other clubs.

 

[Drainy]

We're signing Haaland and Sancho in the summer as a "we are so sorry xx" present.

no we're not. We're having a summer of austerity while the Glazers try to salvage the money they promised themselves.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Take that up yours fecking glazers and Perez

 

[Zapata]

All the clubs now in a race for some good PR. Seen the error of their ways.

Honestly I would rather have seen United relegated than in this.

yes 100%

 

[SilentWitness]

Pathetic little cnuts, hope they still receive some punishment. The punishment they've received from fans and pundits isn't enough.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

The most pathetic 48 hours in football history. These cnuts should be hanging their heads in shame.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

Oh this is so beautiful.

I was SO sure they would all stand firm.

 

[Offsideagain]

Now City have withdrawn too!!!!! Just a few minutes out with my prediction. When will the greedy scrotes at OT issue a statement?

 

[Random Task]

How ironic, the most embarrassing moment in our club's history could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

This laughable mess may finally rid us of the leeches running our club. We can hope right?

 

[dove]

Do you think they genuinely thought the fans of the clubs involved would be really happy about it?

Of course they didn't but I think they didn't expect there to be so much backlash and even the involvement from the government. They probably expected some mixed reactions but it turned out to be completely one sided.

 

[Varun]

I can bet we will be the last to pull out.

Our cnut is the vice president of this shambles so yes, you're bang on.

 

[Acquire Me]

The weirdest thing is some in here seem tetchy that its not happening

It would be a fecking disaster if this shit happens. I do think they did this to get leverage though.

 

[Drainy]

So having resigned from the ECA to stage a coup, everyone involved will now have to come back with their tail between their legs and now have much less power than before.

Visions of a Brexit future to come

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Didn’t Perez state the contracts were binding?

Interesting to see if the clubs are even allowed out.

It might end up 11 clubs against Perez.

 

[peridigm]

Us and Madrid will be the last the pull out if we do at all. We are in too deep and certain people at the clubs fingerprints are all over it.

As a United fan, I'd accept Woodward and Perez being kicked out of football for life as punishment for the mental harm this has caused to millions of fans across the globe.

[Lay]

right can we just discus mourinho now

 

[BusbyMalone]

Hopefully the damage has been done and the government will be serious in its proposals to look at/reform the ownership of clubs.

They must do. You can't just dust your hands off with this one and walk away. This COULD be the best thing that's happened for football in some time IF real change can come from it.

 

[Turnip]

Its just going to be a yearly cup between United and Madrid at this rate.

 

[Buster15]

With the super league collapsing, this has to be the end of Woodward, right?

Well he may be the sacrificial cow, but the decision rests with the Glazier's. How can anybody have any trust in them at all to be competent enough to run a club like Manchester United.

 

[Klopper76]

There was already a certain level of dislike (varying levels I would say depending on the club) towards these owners. This stunt has caused irreparable damage imo.

 

[Nico87]

Pathetic little cnuts, hope they still receive some punishment. The punishment they've received from fans and pundits isn't enough.

Every player and fan was vehemently against this so the punishment has to be directed at the board.

 

[el3mel]

It'll look fecking disgusting if it ends up with the only one standing alongside Perez is the fecking Glazers.

 

[AltiUn]

Its just going to be a yearly cup between United and Madrid at this rate.

We're withdrawing too apparently.

 

[Dante]

Need Glazers out

I think this might actually happen.

They've maximised profits since 2003, and the ESL was going to be their cash cow. Now the cow is dead, they've got nothing left to gain.

 

[Mickeza]

Our cnut is the vice president of this shambles so yes, you're bang on.

Bruno, Rashford and Shaw all spoke out before the collapse though! Let’s focus on the positives.

 

[Berbaclass]

Who is that?

A nobody.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Capitalism at it's most transparent; "...the next generation of fans don't like the sport so we must change it for the survival of the game..."

Small side note, we just so happen to profit obscenely from the solution to this "problem".

Please guys, take this example and use it whenever some shitehouse company from silicon valley tries to tell you they're "disrupting" something.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Glazers out now! They will try this again

 

[Tony247]

Meanwhile the fighting cocks are still confused how on earth they are part of ESL.

 

[Damien]

So you're telling me I've gone through 200+ pages setting threadmarks and this thread is likely going to be redundant by tomorrow? Cheers @TheReligion

 

[Klopper76]

United are gone. That's big considering Joel Glazer's position as a vice chairman.

 

[YAMS49]

Clubs pulling out faster than John Terry at a Bridge family barbecue.

 

[Judas]

A nobody.

You hope you seem so weirdly sad that this is falling apart.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

If this ESL fails and that what it looks like.
Woodward needs to be removed ASAP and pressure put on the Glazers to sell up during the close season, if not sooner.

 

[Drainy]

Pathetic little cnuts, hope they still receive some punishment. The punishment they've received from fans and pundits isn't enough.

punished for what exactly? proposing something that wasn't sanctioned and withdrawing

 

[FreakyJim]

I thought people were adamant that they "thought this through" and "no way they pull out". It's JP Morgan, they have lawyers! Everything is set up

feck you Glazers, go hide now

 

[Tony247]

I thought it was Real and Perez running the show?

Don't underestimate woodie.

Couldn't even be arsed coming up with a name like "UnitedZone" or "ChelseaNews" and having a shit logo. Shameful display.

 

[rcoobc]

The Chelsea and CIty should save football is hilarious.
