Thanks.
So what's happening in 6 minutes? Armageddon? Ragnarok? Can I see it live?
No, they were offered the same deal than every other founders, as did Bayern, Schalke, Dortmund, Lyon and iirc Marseille. The fact that all french and german clubs haven't been mentioned today is strange.
Macron.
It’s almost like the establishment don’t like the idea.
They’re salivating at a free run at the Champions League for the next 1000 years.
The Superleague is a replacement for the Champions League set in a league format in which case the founding members are permanent members.
This is the rich clubs buying a permanent spot in the new European Superleague.
No fans want this. No leagues want this. This will end the European competitions as we know them. The ONLY people that want this are the respective club owners.
The FA, Uefa, Boris and Co can feck off with their condemnation, as if they're not bent as feck themselves.
On the Super League....it is already tarnished by having Spurs there.

Leave my football alone!
Yes, you’re just a nothing club that wins nothing.
All about the money, which it has been for a while now I guess. Frankly I've began to just not care. Owners with zero interest in the club outside of filling their own pockets. 22 millionaires kicking a ball and feeling sorry for themselves when things don't go their way. Why should I sympathize, care for or support this? Would probably be the final nail in the coffin for my interest in the game.
Don't think the backlash will matter. They would have seen it coming a mile away anyway.
It just looks like a hollow list to me? If you're going to do it, you need the best from France, Germany, Portugal too. It's not Super enough. Also needs Burnley.
No one is kicking anyone out. They can all scare the clubs like that but it just won't stand in the court. The PL money and CL money of TV rights was signed for these clubs. Imagine the number of lawsuits from the broadcasters (let alone the clubs being banned actually) . Let's say, it just won't happen.
Now having a place, that's a different discussion altogether. Looks like you are the one who is assuming here. I would rather wait for more details on how this is planned actually.
Let's not overreact.
The idea of a european super league has been around for ever. It's a power play I think, or I hope.
I'm not completely against a super league but it would have to have some form of qualification relegation/promotion the closed shop idea is just monopolising the market and an absolute no go,if it did happen than I think it would be the end for me, I wouldn't watch it.

Don't know where I read it, but the proposed payouts to the clubs were quite different from each other
What exactly do you disagree with? You believe fans SHOULDN’T make their own mind up and should just swallow the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sky Sports violin-playing sob story act? As if they care?
Honestly. Every club that signed this, dock them 40 points. Do something that damages them. I don't even care at this point.
Relegate them. Us included.
Relegate them. Us included.
Fact is, if plans benefited each individual countries football association, there'd be none of this talk of disgrace, farcical etc. The narrative would be feck uefa because, feck uefa.
None the club's, the boards or the associations are thinking of fans, it's their own respective interests and that's it.

This is your assumption. Show me where exactly did they mention its a replacement for CL.
Don't get too emotionally invested in this guys. It's just posturing between greedy organisations wanting bigger pie. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show, it won't happen.
I thought they "refused". There are probably some good reasons. France and Germany may not have the "biggest" clubs, though it's debatable for Bayern, but they are the strongest countries economically. I think it will be interesting.
2 MINUTES!
Meh, I don't see this happening with just three Spanish teams, 6 English ones (Spurs and Arsenal, ha), and three Italian ones. That's not very "Super" at all.
Actually, Sky claim... "More than a dozen teams from England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are in negotiations about becoming founder members of the competition."

Have we even had any official statement from the breakaway clubs?
Might be a bit premature with all the hate.

Well, they won't because they need the top teams.
Eurmain?
or Sexit?

Most of these clubs have large match going supports. Has there been much talk about organised collective action amongst support groups? To be honest I’d be disgusted if my club wanted to create a closed shop that goes against a founding meritocratic principle of the sport.
Yup, I'm only awake for the drama. The UEFA statement was deliciously whiny.
Bring on the club statement already!
Where do you think they are fitting these games in? If a side made the final of both that's 42 games, that's unmanageable.
Amended for you. Don't forget the Manchester franchises being relocated to London
30 seconds
20 seconds!
UEFA sells the CL license to broadcasters. UEFA simply awards clubs a fixed pool for participation.
The FA owns and sells the TV rights and distributes it according to the contract.
The clubs don't own the TV deals.
1 second
I dont know. I would wait for more details on that.
9:30 "announcement" (flop)
This only shows that the ownership structures in the domestic game have to change. Bundesliga sides are opposed to the Euro superleague plans because the German model means commercial investors cannot have more than a 49% stake in clubs, so fans hold a majority of their own voting rights.
