It's even worse, some teams tank their games in order to get good lottery numbers for the upcoming draft.
Because there will be a small minority of teams playing in an exclusive tournament where the money will be eye watering compared to what's available elsewhere. If you perform poorly for long enough, there'll be plenty of top players happy to take your place. And if you're not one of the players in that exclusive league then no sponsor will want to touch you.
I think people are underestimating the drop in value and wages that will be paid if the top 6 leave the PL. Who on earth is paying to watch a top of the table clash between West Ham and Leicester?
I could imagine a lot of "you go first" happening right now
This. I request to the Admins to please make thread marks compulsory. Otherwise its too much information to filter.
That's what you get when you make Tottenham a founder.
And then there's the college draft which means that the worst performing NBA teams in their conferences get the best pick of the best college players. It's literally a reward for being shittier than everyone else. I mosey around US Sports forums and fans of teams playing badly often will their own team to brick it in every single game so they can get the best draft pick. It literally rewards poorer performance!
I've always maintained that's why, from a spectacle standpoint, our relegation based system is better because teams at the bottom have something to play for. There's motivation to perform well.

Tough wank.
I thought it was just a bad version of the Champions League theme and didn't even realize what it was until I saw this.The thread title
Nothing new there. Your one has shocking arthritis.
While this is true it stops the richest teams hording all the best players. We all moaned about Chelsea's 60 man squad, this is the alternative. American sports are far feom perfect, but there are lessons there for football to learn.
Fecking hell, the Super League has not even been announced, yet has already ruined a couple of marriages.
... This has made me do a 180, I'm feckin' IN!
I was chilling with my kids after iftarI fecking played that in the mosque
Amateur.
Spurs are in this to provide rest and squad rotation opportunities.
Is Mourinho planning this, since Spurs got an invite?
If this turns out to be a thing, wth? Did the class of 92 know this and bought "the new United" so we could change team?
Can you change team if the team you support decides to start competing in some other league you've never heard of?
Will RedCafe convert to a Salford City forum? I got so many questions.

I'm very happy my earlier post is now in the thread title.
Have spurs bottled it at the last minute?
Has anyone coined a term for the "big 6" leaving the Premier League? PLexit?
They only got the invite because of Jose
Laporta just gave an interview saying that he'd rather have a club world cup than a super league.
I'm totally confused atm.

What's new? Is football dead yet?
I think the PL clubs involved should be very wary. If you follow the money the PL is becoming, by far, the richest league in the world and some of the other leagues realize this and don't want to miss out. I wouldn't be surprised if the Italian, La Liga and Bundesliga clubs are the ones pushing this so they can get in on more lucrative TV contracts. If things stay the same more and more of the best players and coaches will end up in England. These other clubs are probably very concerned about this and the super league would balance things out for them.
I follow the NHL closely and the NHL draft is the most exciting time of the year outside the Stanley cup Playoffs.
For those that don't know how a draft works:
At the end of every season there is a draft lottery, in which the lowest ranked team has the highest chance of being awarded first pick in the first round, ie. get's to pick and sign the biggest talent of the year. 2nd worst team gets 2nd pick, and so on. It goes on for a few rounds, in the NHL its typically 7, everyone drafts players and thus re-stock their talent pool.
It does reward poor performance, but coupled with a salary cap it also means that team success is cyclical since at some point the previous best teams are full of expensive contracts for aging stars, or the overall roster is too old and it starts a rebuild. The NHL is so dominant in the sport of Hockey that it works, even if its an international sport. In football, this would never, ever fly.
It died earlier then came back to life due to the lack of an official announcement. Zombie football, which means we're definitely involved.
The German clubs have declined to sign up to this, along with the French.
The glazers won't lose sleep over it.
Kind of rude by Nevs though ?
Allegedly Bayern are not part of the group according to Sky but who knows.
