Still don’t get why people are so protective of the Champions League. Why does that have to always be the main European competition now? Hasn’t the consensus been for a while that the format was getting stale?
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
so many drama queens on this, they are just proposing to replace midweek CL football with a new super league, the sky isn't falling down.
Joke!
Even if it goes against my own club, I hopeTheFA and UEFA/FIFA does something about this. They got to go head to head with this. There is so much they can do.

I wonder what the trophy will look like, I hope its just one of those big novelty cheques.
Save us Rashford.
I love the idea that they're making out it's about having more balanced finances in football rather than just making more money for a small number of big teams and feck everyone else.
The idea that the best solution to deal with the unfairness created by the level of spending by owners by City's is to invite a couple of bog average mid table teams in Arsenal and Spurs to a competition in to which better sides won't be included and from which they will generate huge revenue that those better sides won't because they've joined a cartel with those same very City owners as well as other charmers like the Agnelli and Glazer families as well as Roman Abramovich and Florentino Perez is laughable
Confirmed, 12 teams, done deal.
Why would leaving a UEFA tournament mean docking of points by the FA ?
I know they are all together in opposing this.. but I dont see how the FA can dock premier league points because clubs dont want to play a mid week european tournament organized by UEFA..
UEFA can kick the clubs out of their competition.. so that would leave PSG as the CL winners.. Good for them.

So the Super League will be formed and they'll play each other for funzies each season. And they'll leave UEFA to figure out where to take the CL/EL without them?
UEFA's announcement about a reformed CL tomorrow is now in flames.
And Sky were saying the English teams can't just play in a new league without PL permission, so the Super League teams risk having to leave the PL too?

I'd happily defend any sanctions against the 12 teams by any governing body. If this goes ahead I think I'll turn my attention to non league football.
As someone who has half his life dedicated to a non-league side, who play at a level that has long been shafted by the FA (and especially during the pandemic), the shoe being on the other foot is at least mildly amusing. Squirm for the cameras, this is what whoring your sport out for 30 years has led to, you absolute cnuts.
They knew well that the PL would not allow this and its against the rules, make no mistake this is an attempt to kill domestic football.
Wonder what will happen to Uniteds €3.5b payment. Will be fascinating to see how much of that goes to "support our football infrastructure investment".
Hint - it will be the square root of feck all.
Not only did the Glazers manage to somehow buy our club without spending a penny, they've now managed to sell it for 3.5 billion while maintaining ownership of it. If I didn't hate them with every ounce of my being I would be applauding the brass fecking balls on these cnuts.

Confirmed
Shits about to get real

That's their points, but I wonder if the domestic leagues will threaten to kick them out.
Guess Liverpool will never win 20
Sad day for football.
I don't think I am going to like this.
well it doesn't matter if this super league is paying 300 million and pl only can get you 80. what you going do?
A disgrace.
Arsenal twitter announcement: "We are one of 12 Founding Clubs of the European Super League"
Got to love how many people around social media I'm seeing vow to be done with their club if this happens.
Yeah right!
Yeah right!
With top football men like Joel Glazer and Stan Kroenke as Vice-Chairmen I'm confident this venture has been launched with the game's best interest at heart. For our own franchise club I foresee only great things.
What?! Is this actually for real?
Raiola and co. like this.
So the domestic leagues are going to turn into glorified league cups basically.
Wow this is really happening isn't it?
Probably one of the historic days for the wrong reasons in football history!

Maybe AC12 can help.
Yeah this will utterly destroy the game as we know it.
So apparently the English clubs would need approval by the PL to join the Super League.
That's what all that power grab thing was about, a couple of months back, remember all that?
The big clubs wanted to be able to have voting power on issues like this, so they could join the Super League, still remain in the PL and not be bound by UEFA, FFP (not that that was doing anything, but still).

I think of it more like a post nuclear waste exposure mutation - like the three eyed fish in The Simpsons.
RB Leipzig could and Red Bull sounds like the type of company interested in this. They'd feel like a second tier entry though.
Oh well, and I hoped we would be safe for today. It's really happening folks.
You just know they're going to have commercial "drink breaks" in each half, too.
The day the earth stood stupid.
