Apparently it will be on Amazon as well. Enjoy your American soccer, guys.

Of course it is. PL 38 games, new CL potential 25 games (if 2 groups of 10 is true + qf, sf and single final).. where are they gonna fit the FA Cup in
Reckon we may as well merge with City and win this.

I've just realised what really pisses me off. If it started next season Liverpool will have dodged having to play in Europa, the jammy bastards.
Fear of FIFA taking the World Cup from Qatar?
We will end up with two different codes in football, like rugby. The European Super league will be much more Americanised: quarters, time outs, no offside etc.
You feel sick because you're going to get fecking pummeled in it every week
Jose Mourinho 2022 “leading spurs to 10th in the Super League and not getting relegated, it my greatest achievement!”’
Will the players be forced to piss in bottles?

This is the first step out of the Premier League.
It's not just a new competition let's be realistic

this crossed my mind earlier. Maybe if this thing dies on it’s arse. Fingers crossed
Jamie Carragher replies to Liverpool tweet: "What an embarrassment we've become. Think of all the people who have come before us at this club who would be equally embarrassed as well"
It was inevitable with the three biggest English clubs being owned by Yanks. All they know are playoffs, adverts, conferences and no relegations etc.
Sterling surely?
They won't make a dent because not enough people care that much.
Following the Group stage, 8 clubs will qualify for a knockout tournament, playing home and away until the single-match Super League championship, in a dramatic four-week end to the season.
*in Texas accent*
The Soccer SuperBowl everyone...
As sir Alex has said, my club Everton are about to spend 500 million on a new stadium, i hope Everton don't forget this betrayal and come out blasting these clubs
Come to what agreement? Answer the question why are you so supportive of this instead of sitting on your high horse.
And if we couldn't win it ? Like this season for example when we were out of the race mostly by Jan ? What would be the rest of the league games mean for us ? Absolutely nothing.
I think their owners own a majority share in Bein sports which has the rights to telecast CL in many countries. Leaving the CL would be counter productive for them. It's just a theory mind you, could be wrong.
Arsenal will always be a make weight in such a league. Shows how much money it will be worth to them
I hope Pep, Klopp, Ole and co. all hand in their resignations in the morning and every player at every club hands in a transfer request.
I was against it but actually, what should I care about as a consumer? Some random club like Burnley who might struggle or my own pocket?
Im torn the more I think of it, for the sake of argument, imagine Amazon get exclusive rights and all games are shown on prime. I’m immediately saving a shed load of money and so I’d say, as selfish as it is, I don’t care about Burnley I care about me not being fleeced by BT and Sky.

It would be great if they came together, we could call it Manchester, United.
Isn't this just opening UEFA to massive antitrust lawsuits? What gives them the right to have exclusivity to European club competition?
Fifa's core principles of bribery and world cups in Qatar and Russia...
Not every season no otherwise they become run of the mill games.
Sorry, must have missed it.
As United fan's we want to see our team compete against the best of the best and win, yeah beating Burnley is great but what about that Paul Scholes goal against Barcelona? For the random fan, is Tottenham vs Juventus not a better game than Leipzig vs some random Turkish side? We're talking elite football here, nothing else like this on the planet in terms of ability and prestige and we're part of it.
The money will be reinvested into the club and spent on players/stadium/coaching staff, whatever. Most of it will probably go on transfers as we'll have to pay a SL tax on top of a United tax when we sign a player so most of that money will filter into the leagues anyway.
This is a win for everyone.
Reading some of the comments you’d think the Super League just decided football will now be played using only hands .
These clubs have realized they have all the power and are tired of UEFA and FIFAs corruption. The CL is a great competition because of these clubs, without them it’s shit. UEFA is realizing this means the end of their corrupt organization and will stand to lose a lot of $$$. League play will continue and instead of playing to qualify for CL, teams will now qualify for the SL. Yes, Arsenal may not be at the top of the league but no one outside of England is paying to watch West Ham or Leicester. The same as when United were sixth and Leicester was winning the league.
It's not top four - we want to win it.
I dunno. This just seems an alternative to the CL.
The sponsors are gonna go with the big clubs so I reckon, the domestic leagues organisations, UEFA etc will come to some compromise with these clubs.
This is basically the CL, its just a strong England pack that makes qualification for 4 odd teams a contest. These names are in it every year anyway.
Its a disgusting idea but with so many sides having so much money, an even contest among the elite could be amazing. Lets be honest, they arent signing up to this to spent 300m on a player. The talent isnt going away neither so a cap on spend across the board could see genuine sporting contests break out of this rather than what we have today.
Oh man you are a bit of a dick saying that
The problem with our leagues and Uefa kicking us out of tournaments is that The Super League pricks will just invite 5 more clubs and set up a full league. They'll then invite sides from around the world to form a World Club Cup to replace the midweek "European" competition.
They're not going to play less games or do anything to risk their money making.

More like jar jar binks
It's possible but sadly Uefa and the PL will cave. They can't honour their contracts with sponsors without those 12 clubs. Not to mentions broadcasters who've paid billions to show these teams play.
Come on Boris - do one decent thing and kick out Glazers
Tried to opt out of my United Membership renewal through the website but can't.
What should I send in my email asking to be opted out? Keep in mind that the people answering the email won't be Ed Woodward or the Glazers.

You're telling me you're going to get bored of seeing United against Madrid because we'll play them every season? What the feck must you think about Burnley and Newcastle by now then?
I always thought that they would be the first to accept
ah, i didn't know that. It's not a bad theory
