Go and look at relative spend over the last few years compared to City, Chelsea and PSG. Any big club with the exception of United of course. I have faith you'll find your answers
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Because arsenal are now in an elite competition that generates huge revenues that players will want to play in. Where they are now is irrelevant.
I am 99% convinced this is just a power play but what more do they want?
What is this announcement at 9:30pm? Is this from the clubs involved in the breakaway?
To be fair football as it exists now is fundamentally corrupt and broken even more by the introduction of VAR. While I'm not sold on the Super League proposal anything to take control of the game away from UEFA and FIFA is a good more for me.
Anyone who joins the league won't be able to play in any other league and the players won't be able to play for their countries so I think it won't go through
I think if we went off and joined a European league rather than what we have now that would be it for me then. If it’s just changing European matches then whatever, the champions league will be iterated on over the years anyway. I can’t see many people sticking with it if we leave the premier league though, it’s sickening to think about.
Can't see it happening after pretty much 100% of the footballing world is saying what a shit idea it is.
Absolutely disgusted with United
So why not have it based on merit with promotion and relegation, the top players will still want to play in it and go to those clubs? Why do you want a league where teams can't be relegated?
Principles? There's going to be a lot of people pretending they didn't see Mbappe destroy a big side."Yeah I saw it but only because a mate Whatsapped me the video".
Yeah alright, course you did...
Control over media revenue streams. The failure of FFP meant this was inevitable.
I think it's a direct response to UEFA and entities like the Premier League allowing the state takeovers of PSG and Man City. People hate change so I'm not surprised by the response, feckers went mad about apple removing the audio jack for fecks sake, but I'm unsure as to where I'm at with it, as I feel we're fast moving towards a U.A.E domination regardless.
Stupid cnuts.
Stupid cnuts.
Well it's kind of their fault in the first place for allowing oil rich owners to buy clubs and allowing transfers fees and wages to get stupid. This is the fallout from all that
*What would.
I don’t understand posts like this, why do you think you can dictate what everyone else will do? It isn’t clever.
Couldn’t this end up being like the PDC breakaway from BDO in darts? Everyone was up in arms about in at the time but no one seems to complain anymore.
With all due respect to Ole and the squad - this is far, far, far bigger than them. I couldn’t care less about Ole right now really.
"Yeah I saw it but only because a mate Whatsapped me the video".
Yeah alright, course you did...
Clearly you don't seem to have principles, there's many people who do and will stand by their convictions. Don't tar us all with your brush. Cheers.
That's just a surefire way of accelerating the process, you give the teams no choice but to go ahead with it.
to not be carrying the weight and the costs of UEFA's plans to revamp the Champions League through all the extra games - so extra player's bonuses, extra travel costs, need for bigger squads to compete in more games etc. all for less of a share of the pie and less prize money - and a big load of spit in the face for daring to not be happy about it.
A league where entry is not based on current performance levels, but how much money the club has.
Is PSG there?
Is PSG there?
These clubs have just been using the pandemic situation to strike and forge ahead with their plans. If fans were at the stadiums, no way would they be so brazen. Remember what happened to the D**do Brothers at West Ham. It would be 10x worse.
Imagine a World Cup with nations using ‘b grade’ players that aren’t in the Super League it will tarnish both FIFA and the FA’s cash cow and just weaken their stance. Imagine an England team of 23 players from clubs outside the top 6 it will be a shambles.
Thats why they won’t ban them it serves the FA and FIFA (one of the most corrupt organisations on the planet btw) no good it just tarnished their own tournament.

I’ve said for a while they should bring in game passes. Where you pay a certain amount of money a month/year to watch every game for your team, or just every game period, which would obviously be more.
Firstly I’ve never said I want it. Secondly I’ve stated there needs to be a way for others to get into it. However, let’s not pretend the CL is based on merit. You can’t tell me the winner of the Czech league is a better side than the 5th team in England.
It will become the new meta, whether you like it or not. If you don't want to watch it then don't but I'd be happy to bet every single person in here will watch a couple of United games by the time 2024 comes around. I'll literally put my money where my mouth is if the super league goes ahead
Actually, no.
No, but thats probably only because the Chairman is on UEFA's board
Never have I hated the Glazers, Woodward & Co more than I do now....
How far would the Glazers have to go before people stop supporting them?
We can say "I'll always support United" but just because these crooks bought the name and the badge and the stadium, are they the club? If they drag the club out of the league and country it was built in, is it still the club? If they establish us as the bottom feeders in a superleague just because they're guaranteed a paycheck every year without having to invest much, do we still support them because they own the business of Manchester United and we want to be loyal to what the club used to be?

Glazers.
Agreed but as long as the the broadcasters hold the TV rights teams can't do that. They also know they'd lose money or Newcastle would end up owing money for streaming their games to no one.
I'll say it again: if UEFA want a fair game then the CL should only be for Champions. Don't cry about any shit when the likes of England get 4 places and the likes of Ireland and Scotland get to play 3 qualifying rounds. Absolutely no sympathy for UEFA at all. Now I'm in the unique position where I could just fully leave football and only watch rugby and Gaelic games so maybe I'm being short sighted.
Man City fan here. Real fans from all the clubs potentially involved in this do NOT want This to happen. It will end football as we know it. Glad I’m 47 and had a lot of laughs and tears out of the game already. Mate said a funny thing. Half of us are red and half Blue. Mates for 35 years. He said if it goes ahead we may finally get to choose a club like County and all go together as one for the first time in our lives if this move comes off. Match going 32 years for me.my last game was in the away end at OT March 8th I think. It would end my love for the game as I know it’.
you would hope this would unite a fanbase against them. Genuinely sickening twats
You just need to go through United's Champions League results over the years to find plenty of defeats to teams you'd claim weren't better than the 5th team in England.
Is this not the best move for the club?
How would you feel if United refused to enter the super league but 5 other PL teams went instead? How far would a moral victory actually get us by the time the super league kicked off? You think we'd sign Haaland? Maybe Sancho? What about a Grealish? Forget it, we'd be shopping in the Championship for players.
Huge respect to Bayern and dortmund aswell
What was the alternative?
