It will definitely increase neutral support against the 'big' 12 I think. If I were a neutral, I want each and every one of the 12 to lose every match and maybe end up broke and bankrupt. It's a great rhetoric to start following the sport more closely.

This was from the open-top bus parade for United winning their 20th league title. I remember seeing that scene from MUTV at the time.
I think they thought they hit the jackpot with this if it went through !
Their squad needs a massive overhaul, might lose their biggest star and close to a billion in debt with their new empty stadium !
There was a chart with Arsenal at -125M, United at -500+ and Chelsea/City/Spurs above the billion mark. Although we all know that Chelsea's and City's don't really count and will vanish some day.
The Liverpool statement is beyond insulting. They're all equally disgusting but at least Arsenal took more than 30s to write theirs and did "apologize"
They have no shame...
Manchester during the title parade.
Knowing how out of touch these guys are, it’ll be reincarnated as Ultimate Euro Leagueball or something similarly wanky.
I find it hilarious that there are probably people who were talking absolute drivel about Ole's results vs the "traditional top 6" or whatever all up in arms about the Super League. But yeah if Chelsea and City are out then the whole thing is pretty dead.

A few minutes later:
Fooking hilarious how quickly this collapsed. What a disaster.
Current situation doesnt work for Spain and Italy clubs, they have no shame fecking their leagues or gaining advantage on other teams in respective league. If they get X amount of less without PL teams but those numbers are still way higher than CL or w/e, they are desparate enough for money to keep pushing this.
TBH I'm shocked at how amateurish this all was. How the feck did they not see this coming that the entire football world would protest and lash out against it? They are truly that far removed from normality. Sociopaths.

I say good luck whatever they want to do but not with our club.

End of season
Wooo my dreams of a Spanish Super League consisting of Real and Barca playing each other 38 times are getting more real by the second 
UK govt public comments. The Duke of Cambridge's office also jumped in. And then the whole public went crazy.
Don't think the clubs expected serious backlash from outside the PL, FA, UEFA and FIFA.
Ooh, so we will eventually get some words from Florentino Perez.
Maybe the money uefa promised the English clubs is to pay the fines off?
Anyone else enjoying that we can safely take the piss out of the remaining 'super' clubs now
With Brexit, government can do a LOT without paying attention to Europe.
how long are the games going to be? Asking for the young people who apparently can't focus for 90 minutes.
The world dreamed of a mix between the Emirates Cup and the Audi Cup and they've done it ! What a great day this is, congrats Florentino !
They're deluded. The ESL won't function without the English, German or French clubs and nobody else is going to rush to join them either. And by "function" I mean be financially viable. This is something that needs to be heavily financed, not patchworked together.
End of Return Of The Jedi.
Who are they again?Anyone else enjoying that we can safely take the piss out of the remaining 'super' clubs now
Yeah, this is all going to end soon.
It’s weird though, right? That they did not anticipate such backlash? People calling them amateurs are on to something, I think.
Not as bad as internal and external stakeholders
OK cool and an amazing picture
And the agreement with the EU excluded services, deliberately, so basically you are right - even though our competition law is basically the same as the EU's (for the moment), we can do what we want in terms of football.
So, are the previous English clubs going to be replaced by other European clubs ?
Been off work this week. Following this assault on football. Let’s be honest. The supporters of all the 6 and the wider clubs affected stopped this abomination. Was an unprecedented outcry that echoed around the globe. Kudos due. Seeing all supporters rally against this has really lifted me from where I was last Sunday evening
12 seconds
Just going to be Madrid and Juventus left at this rate.
I expect one of Barca/Atletico to leave tomorrow and that will be it. Thought Milan would be out as well.
Real and Juve will stay til the end though

A PR disaster. How did they plan to do this without;
For this to have been anything close to a success, a huge marketing initiative would have been needed to sell the product.
- Any plan on managing the fan/media backlash?
- Buy in from players
- Sponsors in place
- Clear rules on how teams 'qualify' into it

I wonder if the fanbase would stop crying out for a mega-signing like Haaland and etc? Especially if the club says they have no money to spend?
Maybe the Italians and spanards will create a mini in-season league for themselves to be played parallel to their domestic league. Maybe invite the 3 portugese giants as well.
Shhh. Don't let Perez hear that. He thinks it is the La Liga that keeps fans watching football.
