What a horrible day to have eyes.Logo is ready.
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Spare a thought for Leicester or West Ham 
It's surreal but let's wait and see if, when, and how it is implemented, and what the repercussions are. It may be yet another power play to get more influence over UEFA and the Champions' League and the domestic leagues. As someone once said, everything is always about money, and this is no exception.
Does top 4 matter this year?
It wouldn't of course but it might make clubs reconsider, obviously will never happen.
UEFA / FIFA appearing to be the hero when they have been absolutely inept concerning the need for centralisation over football is a running joke. I don't think this is a good competition given the lack of competitiveness but football has been a downward trend for the last few years.
It needs a shakeup, a European league isn't the worst idea if it can coincide with domestic football / cups, have a relevant reward / risk system and all the while booting UEFA out as a trademark.

It won't, but personally my respect for these men will go through the roof.
I equally want Ole to hand in his resignation tomorrow.
No it's just for the 6 clubs who will play for this competition. The league will simply be for them like glorified friendlies to prepare for this competition. The other clubs outside the 6 will care more about the top 4 to play in CL, the big clubs won't bother that much anymore.
They will get a massive bonus on their contact I doubt they care
Makes the league fairly pointless now. Why aim for top 4 when you could finish 15th and still be in super League every season? What's the fecking point? The fight for European places will no longer exist for clubs in the SL.
wouldn't happen in a million years but its a nice thought.
Assuming the threat of not playing for your country stands...
I don't know them obviously but I look at our English players like Rashford, Maguire (maybe the others) and they don't strike me as the types to walk away from playing for their country?
Same Bruno, passionate about Portugal.
Pogba, Salah, Kane?!
No idea where he'll be next season but no way Bale would walk away from Wales
Surely the Italians, etc would be the same? Imagine the abuse you'll get by saying "I'll have another €100k per week and my international team can feck off"?
"Help me players.. you're my only hope"

Look, football has been corrupt for ages. Let's not act brand new now.
From what I can understand here, this looks an alternative European competition. UEFA clearly pissed off cause they can see their profits disappearing etc etc. All the organisations are as bad as the clubs owners.
They will sort it out between themselves as there is too much to ££££ to lose.

Can we have a RIP Manchester United thread?
Honestly, if anyone gets the slightest bit excited about playing Madrid or Juventus by the second occasion I'm going to remind everyone that they promised this would get boring.
This is a sad moment for European football and Manchester United is dead for me. I will refuse to pay or watch this nonsense league that are nothing but a easy cash generating machine for wealthy owners. I think a total boycott of any club participating in this is necessary. The Glazers have finally destroyed what used to be a working class football club and turned it into Corporation FC entirely.
There isn't one so it will be interesting to see what the PL do or say.
It should.
No. I’m saying there’s about 10 teams in this league who have nothing to play for during the majority of it.
If we're not all kicked out of our leagues, will the champions league change its name? Best go back to just calling it the european cup seeing as most of the champions will be gone.
Current economics don't work
Good luck with that.
So will clubs try to still claim their previous uefa european cup victories?
If liverpool win the super league will they say 7 times? Etc

Not one fan will be allowed entrance on ESL match days because me and tens of thousands of fans like me will be blocking all entrances.
ps not believing for one second that this ESL will come to pass, but for these cnuts to use our club like this is a fcuking disgrace.

United about to get the big bucks and secure their future for years to come....but in turn completely kills the premier league.
The league will be used like the Carabao Cup now if we’re still allowed to partake.

This is disappointing, they have wacked the game of football.
The biggest winner in this situation is Tottenham. Super league came just in time to save them from collapse and turning into another Leeds or Newcastle
Qualifying for the CL, playing the odd dross team and then the thought of making the quarters and beyond and the novelty of drawing a European giant in a big glamour tie under the lights at OT...all gone, I don’t want to play these cnuts every other week. European won’t be special anymore.
Their chairman invested a lot of money in bein, buying champions league tv rights
Until we're told otherwise, it does still matter.
They wouldn't give a shit, there's too much money at stake, they'll just find someone else who will play for lots of cash
The Glazers have practically killed our club.
This is as colossal as it gets. I have been glued to my phone since 3pm. I haven't felt like this since fergie retired.
I'm not completely against it until all the details emerge but now it's actually happening its kind of sinking in.
Business is just a ruthless industry.

I mean in the sense of sticking the head into an elite group in which they were not considered before, although to be honest I had not imagined that Tottenham was a founder instead of Ajax, for example.
In that case they would surely be the most eager to participate.
It is true about the limitations, but I assumed that together they would make them reasonable and permissive.
This is the impact though, it will destroy the competitiveness and value of league places in domestic leagues. Anybody supporting this clearly hasn't thought it through.
