European Super League

[Nogbadthebad]

This was actually shambolic from everyone involved

The fact that it fell apart so easily also shows the parties involved were never convinced themselves.

I think its more they had convinced themselves the pushback would be a few upset supporter groups. And to be fair that is all it was in Spain and Italy.

But in the UK you had the people who own Chelsea's name and ground getting involved, players, managers the government. This is far beyond what they would have expected.

Especially the government. The likes of city and chelsea would be far, far more worried about compulsory fan involvement in the management of the club than any chance of not qualifying for champions league.

You certainly weren't calm the night this shambles was announced, posting and responding to everyone. So take your pill and go watch some Classico highlights from 10 years ago.

Should I have not responded to your posts? And I was perfectly calm actually and still am. Not sure why you're angry at me though, I didn't ask for the SL and I never said I was for it. It was always about an elite competition which I am still in favour for and I'm still in favour of United getting more of a cut than they currently do. But anyway, if you want to feel like you 'won' something then go ahead and revel, I'll pretend to be sad about all this and we'll all have a merry time.

That is fecking amazing

 

[Hester_manc]

Not to burst the bubble of the great news, but should we be worried about the "revenge of the glazers" over this? They could decide not to give Ole any money to strengthen the team. If they are pissed enough, they could let the club rot.

Dont you think Champions League will be too important for them? They will miss out on a lot of money, if they do not reach top 4.

 

[Pscholes18]

Perez must be fuming, couldnt have happened to a bigger cnut!

 

[bsCallout]

when the dust settles and Ed and the Glazers hopefully fecks off for ever, we will be stuck with a corrupted UEFA and an oil state club who buys the league every year. I hope there is also a solution to that problem.

And this may well be what wakes everyone up to that, only good can come of this.

crossed my mind as well

 

[Cascarino]

Yeah. As I said. Your first thought is to think of how this can benefit you.

Classy.

I think that was the clubs who formed the ESL

 

[sparx99]

It couldn't just be United, it would have to be for all clubs , it would cost a lot more than £20bn

As of 2020 the premier league teams were worth £14.7bn. Let’s say the football league teams add up to another £6bn. That’s £20.7bn.

50% would be £10bn. Fans could have a period of time to pay it back. Or as I said in another post the govt just backs bank loans as a guarantor to fans groups.

Today videogame-dream went away. Atleast for now. No QBforwards, No OLMidfielders, No penalty yards. No 65 min games. Just let him be. Though day.

Give over, you spent all night supporting this and giving everyone grief. You think people's memories are that short?

 

[MrMarcello]

Are we? I think the worth is about half what you say.

Forbes is very good at determining sporting clubs valuations. United are amongst the ten most valuable sporting clubs in the world, often in the top five.

Hahaha. Piss off. You were for it.

No I didn't. That's what you thought because you and others were so anti-SL that anyone that wasn't anti was pro to you. I sat on the fence and offered an alternate opinion but I was damn clear about waiting to see what happened next before making a decision. Go back and check if you want

And we're only the 4th richest club

Thanks. I was looking at market cap right now. I am not sure how they messaure everything. I need to read little bit about that, I guess.

 

[dinostar77]

Great message from KDB.


Shame the two biggest stars of football are still silent.

 

[Bobski]

The humiliation of this is pure cathartic nirvana.

 

[TheReligion]

I think that was the clubs who formed the ESL

Yeah don't tell me those from other clubs coming out now wanting to hammer the 6 aren't doing so for selfish, greedy reasons.

So transparent. Punish them all. We might become relevant. Feck off.

 

[crossy1686]

Hahaha. Piss off. You were for it.

For an elite competition and United getting more of a cut, yes, absolutely, still am. Was I for United being kicked out of the PL, no.

 

[Liver_bird]

Just block him mate, some of these “fans” just don’t get it and never will.

You were frothing over the thought of it.

Yeah sure, bought a t-shirt and everything. Couldn't wait...

Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal , City and Spurs are worth over $20bn between them and all 6 are in the ten richest clubs in the world, which may suggest why Arsenal and Spurs were included in the SL to the astonishment of some.

That's not including many other Pl and lower league teams. Do you seriously think all the owners are going to give up the ownership of these clubs under compulsory purchase. Surefire way to ensure this SL does happen.

 

[FootyGirl88]

All for it. I am a foreign fan, but if I was asked to contribute, I would chip in with pleasure. The leeches, the parasites showed their greed and utter stupidity once again. We know their colours and they won't change.

obviously no offence to foreign fans, I just think foreign owners bring too much headache and too much greed. The clubs should belong to the fans.

 

[Cascarino]

I literally posted 20 minutes ago saying that supporters of the breakaway clubs aren’t to blame, and they should be lauded for their staunch opposition. That doesn’t mean the clubs themselves did no wrong, if you took off your goggles you’d see that.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Thanks. I was looking at market cap right now. I am not sure how they messaure everything. I need to read little bit about that, I guess.

Look at the values of the other clubs as well , Liverpool are only just behind us at $4.1bn.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Imminent statement from Luke Shaw.

 

[UnofficialDevil]

They should have added promotion and relegation to the Super League, that was their biggest mistake.

 

[FootyGirl88]

A thousand times yes. Do not end this here, never forget what these cnuts have done to two institutions of European and English football. Arsenal too I guess. Clubs built on principles traditions values and ethos. Of people like Shankly Ferguson Busby Dalglish Fagan Paisley. They dragged us through the mud. They have to face a reckoning.

yep and they’ve shown they can’t be trusted! i wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to pull the same stunt again 5 years down the line.

Sitting on the fence is same as supporring it to me. It is a cartel how can you not oppose it?

The share price will go down, the owners will still have to service the debt and all other expenses. The pundits are against them, so are fans and authorities. When the fans are allowed back in, they will get quite vocal too. The board will either have to spend more or sell. Letting the club rot will cost hundreds of millions in the profit lost.

The owners did wrong and they should be kicked out.

But Footygirl, English owners are also greedy? You know, there are no innocents anywhere....

 

[arthurka]

Might want to look up what that word means before throwing it around casually?

Fully apologize no harm ment.
Point taken.

So Mou is the only super league manager to ever be sacked. What a legend.
