I’d actually rather United, Liverpool, and the rest of the clubs associated with this were liquidated than go ahead with the Super League. I’m a Man United fan born and bred, but I would sooner see the game I love protected. It’s a make or break moment.
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
So... can anyone make a decent argument in favour for this??
Don’t blame anyone who does tbf. The sport is just full of corruption and greed.
Because one would assume that they’re money driven and don’t really give a feck about traditions. I don’t see Joel Glazer absorbing the culture of Manchester in his time here. He’s got his ivory tower in Florida so one would assume if he’s seeing an opportunity to make more money then he‘ll sure as hell take it, rather than he’s some local lad who came out of Moss Side and is going to deny it on the basis that it goes against the traditions.
Hopefully it goes away as quickly as Big Picture but he's right in essence. This is absolutely shameful and disgusting from these clubs. I'd rather Arsenal got stuck in the Conference League or no European football for 10 years than just get a pass because of our american owner... We're nowhere near good enough to deserve a spot alongside the top clubs at the moment.
So? Honestly who cares
Yeah that's not the same level is it? Not even vaguely comparable.
Its still about free movement of labour. If you’re banning players from joining a competition.
Seriously. Can someone explain how youth development in the league wouldn’t benefit from this?
I get the concern but just in fairness of a two sided argument. Do we not get a better Premier League?
I understand we are an English club and should always be proud to represent our domestic competition.

Well said, better than a lot of the posts in this thread.
Whatever happens, City should definitely be docked 20 points.
What would stop those 6 clubs from hoovering up all the youth talent?
Probably the time for me to stop my renewal if United press ahead with this. They need permission from the premier league, which they won’t get.
If there’s any slightly doubt we come out of the English pyramid, I’ll be cancelling my ticket.
Big decisions for the club before June now

No chance.
I am with Neville 90pts deduction to all teams signed up to it. Going to take years for this to get through, send them to the Champo and cut off the CL money.
Posturing from all sides.
Uefa will be bricking it at their most glamorous clubs plotting this.
Expect to see some changed Euro champions league format with more money involved.
Surely it won't happen when they see the reaction. We just collectively wouldn't watch it and go to whoever your 'second team' is. I blame the Americans too, probably come from the Glazers and Liverpool's lot. The pricks.
I don't love football anymore
Pure spirit of competition.
What it has to do with it is; they don’t give a fwck about the town of the fans
too true, especially when the majority end up playing 3-5 games in the tournament once every four years. It may take a few years for players to accept, but it'll be the norm in the next decade.I'll watch United just out of habit, but with zero interest or passion for the results anymore. Just watching because I'm supposed to watch the team I support, not because I'm interesting in winning or losing a trophy or a game. This will be the death of the sport in general for me.
I can see this super league for 1 month during the summer, friendlies with more money
Sky will quickly chnage their tune when they buy the exclusive rights
Nev making the Glazers look like the cnuts that they are, in the stadium.
Anyone remember what the reaction was when the Premier League was first rumoured? The strength of Sky's reaction based on pretty little actual detail suggests they are concerned about it, but I'm guessing there must've been similar feelings back in 1992?
Its kinda funny seeing greedy people call out others for being...greedy.
They can go feck themselves, seriously. Imagine some league based on the shitty NBA/NFL models with no promotion/relegations, 7-game playoffs, loads of adverts etc. Wouldn't be long before the clubs became franchises and started playing home games in Kuwait.
Pretty sure Salford means something personally to them but doesn’t matter he was spot on in what he said
AC-12 would be all over this.
A super league including teams like Arsenal, Spurs, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan but no PSG or Bayern just seems ridiculous anyway. Would basically mean the Champions League and this new super league would have different champions of equal standards and no way of determining the true best team in Europe. The idea of it being stagnant and no recognised route in and out is pretty dismal too. Also domestic rivalries completely forgotten about such as our rivalry with Leeds Newcastle etc and instead rivals won't even speak the same language - pub 'banter' and the atmosphere at the stadiums would seriously suffer. Don't know why it has so much but this whole prospect has genuinely upset me, the Premier League and Champions League are far from perfect but this new league would seriously hamper my enjoyment of watching football which is a needed distraction and a key part of my life.
I wonder what being a mid or lower table superleague side would do to the fanbase of one of these clubs, because let's face it, kids around the world dont walk around in a Barca or Juventus kit, because they love the city. It's because they win a lot. No one gives a feck about a midtable club on the other side of the world.
Quality of investment? The league would surely be for the elite! They can’t all play for Madrid and Barca.
We get a nice super logo on our shirt?
My take while I wait for the statement. This entire thing has been overwhelming sensationalized due to the various economic interests involved.
Mind you it is a terrible idea from the football perspective.
Regardless, we will see what happens, I don’t know how entertaining it is to play Madrid and Barcelona regularly in a season.
Fully expect the clubs to retract the statement.
Also, this might fly if it was a yearly pre season competition. Basically equivalent to those shit cups in the summer.

This is a time united and Liverpool fans should stick together.
Beat this crapness into oblivion.

Their whole product is under threat. Of course they’re bricking it.
What the feck is wrong with a people, all this about Sky/Neville having their own interest in this, so fecking what, what that have to do with your own angle of view about this joke.
What? Bollox!
