European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
This can absolutely get fecked. Last hope is for the players to make a stand here.
Genuinely can't fathom how you can be supportive of this.
I don't care how we do, I've no interest in this super League at all. Honestly I think I'm done supporting the club after this.You feel sick because you're going to get fecking pummeled in it every week
If true, this will make some think twice. Would be some reaction.
So it'll end with a damp squib at the Invasion
It means the end of the FA Cup, the CL and will be governed by the teams that actually play in it. How can you possibly think that is all a good idea?
I hope it falls through and the big six are all docked 50 points each from the beginning of next season and we all have to scrap for survival.
You have just picked out a founding member club of English football, if it wasn't for Stoke there may well of been no Manchester United
If I'm being honest I think the intention was to always bin off the domestic leagues anyway, I think the clubs already knew that and were more than happy to accept the potential consequences. I need to sleep on this but where the feck do we as supporters go from here? Is this even still our club anymore? We may as well stick the 60 odd trophies we've won in the bin. Our history and traditions clearly mean feck all.
Not really, it's just become the Johnstons Paint Trophy
It would be funny if we used this ESL money to immediately raid Dortmund
What is the lure of this competition. It sounds shit.
Its 20+ extra games, theres no trimming the CL, its dead. So is the fa and league cup. Imagine United winning this new comp, 25 ESL games and 38 PL games.. 63 matches. Theres no other competitions.
This is basically a Champions League with a round Robin rather than knock-out rounds.
Oh yes, and the same participants every year
Oh yes, and the same participants every year
I don’t overly mind it. I’m so bored with football lately that the announcement is exciting. I assume when I digest all the details I’ll think differently. But feck me, domestic football bores the feck out of me sometimes
Danny Murphy and Dion Dublin sounded like a right pair of old men discussing this.
The posturing over National Team players is silly, of course, they'll want the best players to play in those competitions. It's all just big threats on both sides.
Could this be how United get shot of the Glazers? Start all over again
As opposed to the Champions League? I don’t understand how we have reached a point where people cannot conceive of anything but a UEFA-led Champions League. Football existed before and will exist after.
Domestically, people seem to be lamenting the death of the top 4 race, which is a case of Stockholm Syndrome if I ever saw it.
Couldn't have said it better.
It's a pretty devalued competition if those clubs aren't in it, the race for the Europa League isn't a big deal now and this makes the CL very similar.
So the five additional non-Founder clubs just get rotated out every season then? Based on achievements in other competitions? Who decides who gets in and how?
They will come in later
But but...fan owned clubs in Germany?
If this is the price we pay to slay the Carabao, it’s worth it.
UEFA was planning to add more teams and games to the CL so it’s probably not that different.
Reading that statement on the United website it sounds like the clubs feel UEFA are not giving them enough financial return from the current Champions League?
I meant for the clubs in this competition obviously.
Why would us, United fans, give a shit where we're finishing when top 4 just doesn't matter any more? It makes following the league and being passionate about the results totally pointless.
Interested about the 5 qualifiers for the Super League... Surely the plan is for the 4 CL semi finalists and the Europa League winner?
The lure is more money for the owners and a closed shop that allows clubs that fall apart like Milan, Arsenal etc.. to stay in the cash flow.
What can a player do if hes registered to a founding club?
What are you sick about? Your team isn't going to qualify for CL football and you just got given a lifeline for a better competition that will secure the future of Tottenham. But yeah, game's gone or whatever
I would think that they would have mitigating circumstances if they refuse. Because playing in a competition banned by UEFA and FIFA is huge.
Bullshit it's going to be fantastic to watch...have you seen the planned format?
It's basically the NBA/MLB regular season which just about everyone involved gives no shits about - fans, players or teams.
There are 18 'group stage' games - and at the end of them all, half the league qualify for the knockout stages anyway. They're slightly more than glorified friendlies...just like the regular seasons of the NBA and MLB.
The NBA regular season ratings are dead for a reason.
Think they were invited purely to piss UEFA off, oh and because of Pep
what a mess. The insane amount of money in football was always leading here.Money basically
I’m suing you 20 million for not believing
Our players died to play in the European Cup and now we're going to abandon that to be part of an unimpeachable cabal of rich twats. It's a disgraceful insult to our history. The Glazers want to dismantle everything we've ever worked for.
