So if the CL changed its name to the SL, you wouldn't watch?
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Yes. They have threatened to ban any player that takes part in this from the World Cup
WE'RE PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF ORGANISING OUR OWN EXIT FROM THE COMPETITION, THANKS VERY MUCH, UEFA.
"Florentino Pérez, President Real Madrid CF and the first Chairman of the Super League said:
“We will help football at every level and take it to its rightful place in the world. Football is the only global sport in the world with more than four billion fans and our responsibility as big clubs is to respond to their desires.”

I'm done with this club. Won't be supporting this shit no way.
Kinda reminds me of Kerry Packer in Cricket, opposed by everyone but ultimately changed cricket forever. I guess Change is inevitable, even in Football!

Statement released!!!!! Holy fecking shit.
I'm excited personally.
Jason Burt: "Told that Juventus have just quit the European Club Association and Andrea Agnelli has resigned as its chairman and from UEFA Executive Committee"
So is this going ahead? Or do we need sign off from the PL?
So what was the point of our win today then??
I'm so disappointed I don't want to even talk about it. I was hoping with the delay in the announcement that it won't happen, but here we're. It's indeed real.
Awful day.
Awful day.
100%. Its not so much that ESL as the knock on effect. Its 18 group games per season, followed by 5 knockout games minimum. Now I'm no rocket scientist but including knockouts thats 61 games not including the FA Cup or league Cup, Club World Cup etc... To say they aren't effecting domestic football is a disgrace.
This is why Pogba has been happy lately, he's definitely one of the people behind this.
Why?
This could bring all the football fans together for a change. Who would have thought!
Seismic like my pemis.
Now imagine they do a PPV and charge $20 per match
Yeah sure, if the FA want to cut their nose off to spite their face, that's on them. What's stopping the clubs who've been kicked out starting an actual breakaway league with all the best teams in the UK? Celtic, Rangers, Cork City, a few clubs from the Championship etc
Founding clubs. More like The betrayal clubs. Will forever be remembered for the dagger in the back of football.
We have the PL too...I think...
Because it's new and I like the idea.
somehow yes, but somehow no.
but it's important to keep the domestic leagues and cups, not sure what will happen with CL/EL.
Or they want FIFA and UEFA to take some of the blame for being unwilling to move, when they then say they are doing it anyway and leaving their domestic competitions.
This can't be allowed to proceed. There will now be a massive showdown between UEFA and 12/15 breakaway clubs. No way should we allow the Glazers to get us excluded from the Premier League and Champions League.
This your new president
Will be very interesting to see how this unfolds. No domestic football pretty much would kill it for me, sad day for football.
It will probably still be Fletch and Macca on commentary sadly.
I can't.
I just can't.
It's all gone.
We knew it deep down, but this confirms it.
Games gone.
I just can't.

What in the name of God are you trying to say? What a ridiculous statement. You think this is just a name change?
As suspected as well as being a money grab the big clubs will use this Super League as an opportunity to keep City and the other Oil clubs spending in check. Something that Uefa couldn't do, no wonder City and Chelsea were reluctant and PSG said no. If this goes ahead it will also kill any prospect of another City or PSG happening any time soon. SA won't be buying Newcastle if there's little hope of them ever getting into the Super League.
What clubs did Raiola go visit for Haaland?
Next step will be "Bringing fixtures to fans around the globe". Probably a small amount at first then creeping higher and higher. Half the games or so played around the world.
Eventually there will be franchise location changes. Why compete with two other clubs in the London region when Arsenal FC can become New York Gunners or Tottenham the Tokyo Spurs?

If it weren't so bleak I'd be loving the drama.
Arsenal have a massive pull world wide, of course they're in it. Clubs have worked hard to become big clubs, why should Stoke get the same amount of prize money as United?
If we got kicked out of domestic competition it would genuinely be heartbreaking. Surely it can't come to that?
