WAITING ON FINISHING OF MADRIDS GAME - 10 MINS
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
ECA is not the founding members of the ESL, guys. There's no statement yet from The12
Post of the year.
People say they will replace existing CL.
Truth - no one has said anything about. That's just a lazy assumption.
People says, it will destroy the soul of football.
Truth - how exactly? No club is leaving the domestic leagues, no clubs is devaluing the domestic leagues and no one has said anything about it either.
What I understand is that,, Everything will continue to work the same way except for certain clubs who would play an additional tournament in some parts of the world and that has been approved by FIFA.
Is there any ruling that says teams can't just join or make a new competition? Which is essentially all this is.
Seems to me like they leaked something to dip their toe in the waters of public opinion.
A real shame if this becomes a reality. A shame for football, and a tragedy for us as a club. Traditions, culture and history will be erased. Ashamed that we're part of this.
The meaning of UNITED obviously only applies to ourselves and around the owners' financial incentives, and not with the football family/pyramid!

Love this. Bit like Y2K but with shit twitter banter instead of actual panic.
Bwark bwark bwark
Pretty inconclusive then
Think that toe has been mangled.
Yes. They just showed it on Sky Sports. Premier league sides need permission to enter competitions (other than the usual ones).
Be surprised if this actually goes through, too much public pressure
The point i was making is that this is more than political posturing ... this has been in the melting pot for years
Quite possibly. It just shows how out of touch they if true.
"3 hours ago
According to Sky Sports, there could be an official announcement as early as 9:30pm BST this evening. We will keep you up to date with all the latest news and reaction.."
Yep like usual. Although you'd think by now they'd know the majority HATE the idea! It's never a positive reaction to this super league talk.
It's all a ploy to get more money from Uefa and have the CL exactly how they want it anyway. Like always.
ECA is the OCG and the AFO should have stuck with the ARU instead of pissing about with the CHIS and now the NS are involved. I’m not surprised there’s been no statement from AC-12 yet, mate.
"So you're telling me there's a chance..."
Has Howard Nurse said anything yet?
What's breach of contract here ?
The lower contract is exactly the problem. You ban these clubs and you can kiss bye forever to CL. No one is watching CL without these clubs
Interesting. Who from? The FA?
Do you think they didn't expect a backlash?
Keir Starmer statement
The most worrying thing is somebody thought Spurs should be part of a Super League.
Pretty sure it's just instead of any other European cup, and has no bearing on the domestic leagues themselves.
What do the reddit ITKs say about this? @Acquire Me ?
From the Premier League.
The UEFA announced that all participated clubs will be banned from domestic and European competitions :

If you think this is just a play from them to scare clubs out of it, I mean at the end it's really your own assumption and interpretation of such announcement and nothing more.
The public opinion seems to be akin to inviting the mob of Rome down to the docks and have the emperor torch the shipment of grain from Egypt infront of their eyes while giving them the finger.
Nurse: 10 Division 1 clubs agree to the formation of new super league for England.
Hopefully people can begin to see the damage that was done to European football when teams from the so-called big leagues were given preference in the Champions League by receiving automatic qualification at the expense of the majority of European countries, brought about after suffering some embarrasing defeats in the qualifying rounds (including our own against Galatasaray in 1993). Making sure the money stayed within an elite group of teams was a horrible idea to begin with. If you give children unlimited access to candy, of course they are going to throw a tantrum if this is somehow taken away from them (in this case due to Covid). "Who wants to see [insert random team outside the big ones]?". Well, I grew up watching Barcelona being beaten home and away by Dundee United, being absolutely thrashed by the Shevchenko-led Dinamo Kiev, and needing penalties to go through after suffering a 3-0 defeat against IFK Gothenburg in Sweden. For me, this was 100% more exciting than watching the umpteenth match between Bayern and Barca.
Yeah guy on Sky Sports just quoted Rule L9 which would them from playing in this new league.
