European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
it wouldnt affect english football. its just like the CL except some teams automatically qualify every year based on an agreement made setting up the league, so they can be guaranteed more money even if the football team isn't good
Not really, no one would give a feck
Yeah, put them in their place. How dare they try to get a better deal.
They should send the heavies around to really show them who is boss.
What damage?
That cant go through with. Would ruin the game for me. 
I think they were asked and they refusedMight have said differently if PSG were involved
Boris spoke in support of FA. I know the game is fecked but if we let this go to just friendly matches between Milan and united whom has been irrelevant then were absolute mugs like.
Just wish it was straight knockout, of course that would affect TV. The league stages can be boring.
Is it a press conference style announcement on TV or we just expecting something being released on Twitter?

There's precedence though. When DIMAYOR left the Colombian FA, and former its own league, FIFA suspended the league and national team from partaking in international competitions.
So there’s a statement coming at half 9 from the big English clubs and Spurs and Arsenal?
They wouldn't get nearly the same amount of participation fee that the likes of United or real are likely to get. The big guys will also no doubt have some other rules to suit them
The damage was already done a long time ago
It's too simple. Who's to say how much a company (owned by the club owner) thinks a club is worth in terms of sponsorship deals? Especially if the more sponsorship money goes into the club, the more successful and visible it becomes, therefore making the sponsorship more valuable.
Isn't that exactly how FFP was supposed to work, but failed?
The clubs won't leave CL, they'll be kicked out from it. UEFA won't acknowledge this competition by allowing the clubs to play in both and just move on. It undermines them if they allowed these teams to still participate in their own competitions.
And there's no place in the agenda to fit both together anyway. You can't shoehorn the league + domestic cups + CL + this shit competition in one agenda. The clubs will prefer the money offered in this competition more than the less money offered by CL. You're dreaming if you think it's just an added competition to the list. It's supposed to replace the CL all together because these clubs aren't content with its money.
You think this has been decided behind the Glazers back? they are all yes men, one of the Glazers is the vice chairman of the proposed league!

Give a press update Woodward. And make it a fecking good one.

Oh no you didn't!
Further damage to the trust between clubs and fans. They couldn't give a shit about us; we are merely customers.
Boris and the salty British press (they who kiss City's arse) with their hypocrisy, make me sick regardless of the situation.
In fact the current TV deal is unfair. Why should United share the amount we do with other clubs when its clear we are t
Of course these clubs are a huge problem and always have been. I agree with your point on young players but that is for another thread I feel. I think that you hit my nail on the head to be honest. "UEFA have always caved" - that is exactly what I'm talking about. The clubs have always been assholes but UEFA (who apparently run European football) have allowed them to do so. They are meant to be the rulers and the adjudicators but they allowed the 'big' clubs to do what they wanted for ages at the detriment of others. Now the same 'big' clubs are in a position to take their ball and go elsewhere exactly because they were allowed to do what they want for ages by UEFA. For me UEFA has no right to cry about this considering they were the ones with the power to curb this shit but they simply never bothered so now they are reaping what they sowed.
Not to mention their treatment of smaller nations and how they created a monopoly in the CL because it suited them.
Look I hate this idea but in some ways it was inevitable when we have an organisation that failed to keep its members in check.

Doesn't smell right. Where's Bayern? (edit: and PSG)
Is this being shown live anywhere?
DS Steve Arnott likes this.
Get the feeling this won't happen. Too much change and risk of alienating a huge percentage of your fanbase.
The list of clubs doesn’t even excite me from just a purely entertainment standpoint.
Bayern not going along
Yep. The day the Glazers took over.
What the hell is Spurs doing in that list? 
which clubs would then?
The PR reaction has killed this. Sad because it was such a great idea.
Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Savage and Francis Benali give their thoughts (9 minute video)
Burnley, Fulham and West Brom
Joel Glazer. makes me nauseous that he owns the club I love.
Any breakaway from FIFA/UEFA is a relief to see. I'd rather see a club-owned/club-run league. If it gets worse we (fans) just abandon it, that's how the market works.
Here's to hoping UEFA/FIFA crash and burn. Throw in FA too. This will be great.

They're happy to continue whipping their respective one team domestic leagues

Only this European Super League is a long running plan, not something cooked up overnight.
In 2018 Germany’s Der Spiegel reported on a European Super League after uncovering documents from Football Leaks outlining the competition.
And there has been much discussion behind the scenes ever since.
