All the national Football Associations of the teams behind this should ban them from their domestic leagues. Let 10 teams play their fucking mini league against each other ad nauseum. Ridiculous stuff.
If you totally remove meritocracy like this I don't know any right thinking fans who want a part of it.
 
You are wrong.
All the UEFA leagues have agreed any club signing up will be chucked out of all leagues and cup competitions and their players banned from internationals.
So no,premier league, FA Cup, Carabo cup, European tournaments or world cups.

That's the threat.

What actually happens is a completely different matter.
 
For me there is not a chance the domestic leagues will kick out the clubs angling for this super league - the domestic leagues need those clubs - that goes for La Liga, Seria A etc
 
Our mates over at the Gruniad believe this is all a game of high stakes poker, the greedy bastards wanting an even bigger slice of the pie.
 
That's the threat.

What actually happens is a completely different matter.
When the PL suddenly sit in the prospect of having no major product when the big 5/6 sides are kicked out they will soon change that tune. PL posturing but they aren’t total idiots.
 
TV companies would dump it after a year, 2 tops when they realise its just exhibition games. Anyway, the thing to consider is the players, no player is going to want to be part of it, they'll be playing substantially less games, which may sound good at first but will quickly become a problem, theyll be paid less and they won't be able to feature for their country either which is huge.

It would become an MLS style retirement home for the past-it's almost instantly, anybody remotely near their prime would be off to play for someone else.

Not sure really. Can't see the big names signing for less prestigious clubs and they will generally follow the money, which is more likely to be ploughed into this new league. The threat of not playing internationals is probably a bigger deterrent.

I can't see it happening at all and suspect there is more at play here. These clubs must have been expecting this backlash, so it all depends what their endgame is. Perhaps to force UEFA to give them guaranteed CL places or to somehow favour them.
 
Feel the toothpaste is out of the tube with this now unfortunately, whether it’s delayed now or not, big changes are afoot.
