did I miss it?
European Super League

Hope we see an ‘America First caucus’ u-turn in a couple of days.
But this idiotic idea seems far further along than that idiotic idea was.

Ooof
I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of those that were pro being owned by the Saudi Royal Family but don't like us playing in a Super League instead of the CL
Sure but I don't believe they think it will. I think they think posturing now will play well and no one will care that they don't go through with it.
Ah feck, there we go with the official announcement. Sickening. I thought there may have been a delay of a few days while they took stock of the reaction on social media/regular media, but nah here there are as bold as ever. This sucks.
Daft c*nts.
Any guesses on who the next three automatic spots will go to?
Are they hoping PSG and Bayern get twitchy and want to jump aboard now the heavy lifting is done?
PSG, Bayern and Dortmund if I'm not mistaken.
Terrible idea and the further erosion of football
Wouldn't be shocked to see this document drawn up using crayons.
Dock 40 points off each club and fine them a shit ton of cash.
feck Joel Glazer and anyone that supports that zombie.
Released at 23:15 on a Sunday night

15 clubs, that's 28 games home and away? Or will it just be 14 games?
Either way, that's nicer than the normal 6 CL games and 6 Europa league games.

This is the next evolution of the game.
Embrace it, people.

100% that or a late invite for Burnley.
OK, so Sky did know about their golden goose being shot. How interesting.
Wow.
Bullshit. feck everyone involved in this.
So is this an alternative European competition without looking to come away from the domestic league?
Pains me to say that but at the moment we can all hope that BoJo decides to turn that into a political stunt in order to prevent those clubs from joining the superleague.
Probably not the best image to parody. The IPL is arguably the most entertaining tournament in sports right now, and it wasn't formed on the back of destroying any existing structure.
The 3 others are going to be PSG, Dortmund and Bayern Munich, right?
Whats evolutionary about ruining the game? I'm baffled by anyone on board with such a sad sad thing for the sport.
Tottenham will get relegated...
I'm very entertained by this.
How's it ruining the game?
So this might be the *real* topic. Those clubs want PSG and City to be held accountable to their numbers and their accounting to be much more closely watched. If they get it that way, I am all in. Chelsea is in, which suggest that Chelsea is already able to cope with such stringent financial requirements.
Establishment were against it weren’t they?
Not sure point deduction would be such a great idea though, gratifying though the thought is (even for United). Because it wouldn't exactly be a great argument for these clubs to shelve this and stick with the current leagues, or the CL they would not then qualify for. In fact, few things could be more certain to cause them to push ahead with this.
I don't think this is happening. They need to breakaway if they want to do it. Their suggestion there is silly.
Maybe the plan is to breakaway but look reluctant to? Or they aren't serious at all and it's bargaining bullshit. But I don't think that format is a remotely serious one.
Never knew we have the equivalent of Russian bots on this forum.
Why people keep mentioning PSG and Bayern when they explicitly denied participation?
Thought German clubs had rules that they owned only 49% while the fans owned 51
Interesting. Clearly stepping back from champions league then.
