I asuume United Zone are just trolling. They seem to be the only source of the most extreme tweets in the last couple of pages.
So you haven't read the official statement? Or the statement from Arsenal, Liverpool and spurs? It's in plain English
Besides which, it's all irrelevant. Our club have signed up to this. No consultation with supporters. Just by signing up they have betrayed every single supporter.
Dortmund, Bayern and PSG have all had the integrity to immediately refuse to join.
If I was him I’d have to speak out. Sack me if you want, I couldn’t go along with it. Today’s game now means nothing, same as every game we’ve played this season. It’s all been building towards feck all, and I feel sorry for Ole the most. He’ll be seething, the club have gone behind his back. They’re doing this with or without him.
I'm very interested how the managers of the clubs will respond to this all.
Pep and Klopp were crying before the league started this year.

I was afraid of being cancelled
Yeah promotion/relegation is a much better model than knockouts.
So how is two teams playing in a European Super League the same as a friendly? Strange comparison.
There will definitely be a second tier at some point I think.
Theres a big official statement mate and Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs have all released statements confirming their joining.
You still don't get it. The Glazers want to maximise returns. If they make more money by buying good players, instead of the stars, they'll do that because they'll get the same or very similar payment from the Super League.
And in the end, what's the point? We'll win some soulless, plastic competition with no history? feck that.
Ah sorry, didn't see that. I understand now.
That's exactly how I feel. A bunch of greedy men have banded together to try and destroy our game and sacrifice it on the altar of cash. This can't be allowed to happen. Fans, National associations, other clubs, the resistance has to be unyielding. They couldn't even wait for this season to end??? Suddenly I'm not sure what we're playing for the next few weeks.
Surely then the ESL can just create their own World Cup format, making it all inclusive of course but away from Fifa regulation.
There's an ignore button above my name, be a doll and hit it would you.
Ole is never getting out of a semi final. We get to one in flying form and world football comes crashing down
On the one hand I love the fact they just stick it to the UEFA and FIFA but on the other hand it makes them the exact same corrupt bastards. The Glazers are the most despicable, arrogant, self-centered, heartless cnuts in football for me. True businessmen, have to give 'em that.
UEFA brought it on themselves. They killed European competition with the UCL being so bloated. They then just added a third competition even though no one gives a feck about the secondary competition.
They tampered with something that wasn’t broken long ago

Pogba apparently gets a 1.85million bonus for qualifying for the CL. Bet he's been on he phone to Raiola all night
Wanna put money on it?
Curious to see how the players and managers react. Surely players won't be happy is their club is eliminated from europa or CL. Or if they can't represent their country.
Expecting more twists and turns.

I really hope our stars put in transfer requests. Lets see how well we do when bruno decides he wants to play in the euros for portugal and will leave utd.
There's no relegation. It's exactly the same situation as the National league right now and I can tell you the games below the promotion chasers are currently completely pointless.
So the PL will mean nothing then, unless you win it. Man how boring.
The people overreacting about this need not to worry.. because of the massive backlash against the Super League it will never see the light of day.
Stick to your same old stale boring champions league and don't moan about it in future!

Agreed
More like it will kill the international competitions.
No one is sponsoring or watching a world cup without the best players in it. The players/clubs have the upper hand here.
Francesco Porzio: No confirmation that Champions and Europa games are temporarily suspended. Decision will be taken in the next hours - anything can happen.
What’s the chances that our game against Burnley was the final one this season?
I honestly think any club joining this super club should be demoted by default to the lowest national ranking league. These club owners have gone way to far in their self interest and its hugely damaging to the national leagues as owners that are only in it for the money will force the clubs to prioritize the Super League regardless of what being said in the public. These clubs need to be taught a serious lesson and any ownership of these clubs should be annulled and the ownership structure that have allowed this need to be restructured in a way than fans have more power rather than the owners on certain matters like joining and leaving current football leagues.
Bayern declined the invitation.
If all games you play in the competition are against other big teams and only that, then how will you ever learn to appreciate a big game when it happens?!
They're like, "F*ck yeah! More big games, eat it bro!", but what makes a game versus a big team feel special is that the moment is irregularly occurring.
More is not better from an experiential perspective. You want to feel the prestige of the encounter but it's going to be the law of diminishing returns.

Surely players were aware of this?
Give us the good then?
What about the Hungarian Clubs that basically bought their way to CL using funds handed down by the government? Are they much better?
This whole holier than thou stance is frankly ridiculous. There are so many crooks in football these days. Just look at teams like Istanbul Basaksehir etc.
Poch has won the CL then I guess.
I haven't had chance! I'm getting about 15 replies a second at the moment. I'll read up on everything tomorrow when the dust settled. Don't really care right now as the sentiment around it is 95% negative so there's a total imbalance of rational thinking
