Do you want the ESL to happen?

Time to get drunk, feck these soulless American corporations and state funded clubs that have caused this.
 


Players are not paid by their country are they?

In basketball, the best American players seldom turn up for their country at Olympics etc.

Guess this is where we are heading now. Italian and Spanish clubs are in huge debt with Covid, English clubs want more bucks...
 
If PL said clubs can't play if they are in SL, would that spook some clubs out of the SL?

Honestly, I could see the likes of Everton winning a few PL and passing out arsenal who are getting demolished every week playing the same ten teams over and over with no real consequences, no relegation, no top four, permanent mid table obscurity. Doesn't matter if arsenal have more money for better players than Everton , what would matter is the relative
 
As opposed to being run by despots from the middle-east? No thanks!

I'm all for sticking it to 'the man', be they middle-eastern bastards, Sky shitheads or corrupt UEFA suits who have done so much to ruin the game and take it away from the fans. The trouble is we are the fecking man; there's no way whatever the Glazers, Kroenke and the rest are proposing is good for football, I'm just not buying it.
 
It's rich to see Murdoch's Sky Sports clutching their pearls. They created this monster.
 
United's official statement revealed something massive about the women's game:

Women's football will undergo massive changes, too, by the looks of things.

Oh, the old "throw in some idpol you don't actually give a shit about to use as a shield against wider criticism" strategy.

How very every corporation in 2021.
 
The thoughts of never being able to add to our 3 European cups does not bear thinking about

Also I don’t find it appealing at all having to play city, Liverpool etc 4 times a season

Top 4 race will be no more. We can have a shit season and still guaranteed super league spot. It’s all just gross

I don’t think it will happen
 
What would be the point of finishing anywhere between 2nd and 17th in the league starting from next season?
 
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.

not for each club! Will clearly be shared amongst the founding members. Still in the region of 300m, but not 3.5bn each club!!
 
I hope every fecking stadium run by these cash obsessed leeches is empty when they open back up.

I'm disgusted. Non league it is then.
 
Even if teams are not excluded from the PL, what’s the point of competing if you’re not going to be challenging for the title?! All the teams not in the title race can take the rest of the season off knowing there’s no pressure to finish top-4. The CL needs reform, but this is a power grab by the richest clubs & it’s disgusting.
 
Wait... the 15 founder clubs doesn't include Dortmund, Ajax or PSG? Those are some big misses.

It could be the some of the guests, there is a total of 20 teams.
 
What about the players? Are they going to destroy their careers in playing international football?

You can ask that about any sporting competition.

So you're suggesting that we won't want to win the league because we will be in the SL anyway? Better tell the players to pack it in, no point lads, you'll get paid regardless
 
Maybe it's because my interest in football has generally plummeted in the last few years but I am really looking forward to seeing how this plays out
