This literally feels like a dream! They just spat in the faces of all the governing bodies by releasing that not hours after Uefa's and the FA's response.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the british government can in essence block certain business proposals from foreign owners if they have a negative affect on British owned businesses. Something like that anyway.
Someone else may enlighten us.
For the German clubs this might just be a political necessity. Sell it like they didn't want to, but eventually were forced to join. If their clubs were on that press release today the majority of fans would never forgive the people in charge and probably try to vote them out as soon as possible and of course cancel their memberships or season tickets. This way they can try mitigate that a bit. I have no doubt Bayern will be joining either, as from what I remember it was actually their club lawyer that was exposed to be exploring these options for the other clubs by football leaks.
When you play them guaranteed every season, it will wear extremely thin and the magic will be completely lost.
Football isn’t all that great when it’s a glorified cash grab for a select few.
Such a load of bollox. Without relegation/qualification for 75% of the participants it's completely pointless from a competitive perspective.
ThanksAll founding clubs have to sign up to a spending framework apparently. That and Bein sports are one of the main sponsors of the CL.
If nothing changes league wise it certainly isn't the end of the world, but I still don't love the SL format, and I think the negative impact on the league will be noticeable even if we're all still involved in the competition.
But right now we're all in the dark really.
Don't be shocked if we don't play another game this season, least Rashford gets a rest.
Does this mean that Qatar's shitty, pointless and fraudulently awarded world cup, built on the deaths of multiple slave labourers, is effectively cancelled?
At least this terrible super League does have some silver lining.
Racism? Haha what?
But yeah, I would love if American leagues had promotion / relegation.
Come 600+ Guests, have a seat.
Ole forever cursed to have a semi
I'm negative? You've said you don't want clubs from smaller nations in the Champions League and you said you don't want players like Grealish at clubs like Villa. Just dismissing the relevance of about 99% of clubs for this tiny cabal.
I can't believe this is actually happening this is the end of football. Unbelievable
Every club involved in this shite is an embarrassment, They are killing football.
An exclusive club and no relegation. It's an utter disgrace.
British government is not going to do anything. It's all posturing.
Champions league as we know it is dead. This is horrible.
By the way who are the other 3 founding member?

Why would they do that? Surely they just crown PSG in the CL and then play Roma vs Villareal in the Europa final?
You're just mad Porto are getting in before you.
Not Varane because he'll play for a Super League club. But the other players' team will find it impossible to compete financially.
The wealth gap between United and Villa (for example) has been shrinking for the last 20 years. If the ESL comes to fruition, it'll be back to 90s levels.
What do you think people said when the Premier League was about to be launched? Do you not think people kicked off then? Greed, fleecing the fans etc? I wasn't around for it but I've heard plenty of people talk about how those were feelings at the time. I've been in conversations where people have poked fun at themselves for saying it at the time but they now love the league.
I think Neville and Co have just got to so many people. Talk it through, it may be the worst idea ever but let's at least talk it though.
This is exactly what they are aiming for.
feck I hadn't thought of that! God this whole thing is so shit.
The year you were winning the league as well. I feel for you truly.
So that’s it confirmed now
I honestly can't imagine people not thinking this will end up happening. Few years later from now when you see a United - Liverpool game in Premier League with both playing their reserve to save players for this fecking competition people will start to realize that the PL has lost most if not all of its value.
Top 4 and CL kept something for the clubs who couldn't compete to fight for.
Why won't we still compete and win domestic leagues?
If the money isn't reinvested I'll set myself on fire outside Old Trafford like that monk.
So United don't deserve to be there? Would they have offered more than Midjyitland did this CL? Do Midjyitland deserve to be in Europe's elite competition?
I'm sure that in time, the SL will evolve to have an entry and exit requirement, but obviously not in its inception
Most of them have formally announced it on their web pages/social media.
Haven't seen United one?
To say I'm devastated at the moment would be an understatement. Desperately hoping something kills this
European Union will block this super league for sure, meanwhile
How exciting! Can’t wait to play Madrid Barca Bayern 4 times every year - that really makes these kinds of fixtures really special.
Is Harry Kane staying at Spurs now then?
To be fair, without most of the clubs that are joining the Super League, these trophies become pretty much worthless. This is crisis time for UEFA
Can people stop posting bollocks from accounts called things like UnitedStuff and BarcaMania as fact, please.
If there's any news, just have a quick check to see if there's a better source than 'some bell-end on twitter' before everyone gets their knickers knotted.

When trophies don't mean anything, Levy is the real winner.
The operative word being "could"
