This will have been driven by a handful of the 12 - we can probably all guess who. The thing is, with 5 or 6 teams they don’t have a competition. If clubs like City, Chelsea and a couple of others had come together and shown some backbone, those driving this project would have had to can it.We'll all come around after we hear that the club had no choice imo.
I'd suspect that to hold out would have been suicidal.
Maybe. Depends if the Super League clubs get to particular referees who'll get a payoff for reffing in the Super League. Perhaps they'll see it as an opportunity to subvert PSG to pressure them as the outsiders to join the club. The politics stretches way beyond surface level.
Potential to expand to outside Europe, invite South American giants in, then play a couple of games there ... invite Asian teams then go there a season and so on ... global, why tie down to Europe only, eh?Is there a legal reason they're using THE Super League and not EUROPEAN Super League?
I’m not getting banned because of a soulless poster like you who doesn’t understand sport and football in general, so please don’t reply to my comments anymore, they get away with shit like this because of people like you. Enjoy the fake achievements in the future cause the majority will think they are worth absolutely nothing.
No mate, I feel like everyone else. But I can’t get behind a statement saying my football club is dead. Sorry, but that’s too much.Are you seriously going to support this crap !?
Over the next few days/weeks they'll be a lot of huffing and puffing from FIFA,UEFA and the leagues there teams are from but money talks and they will back down or come to an agreement with these clubs. This will happen and the most important part of clubs(the fans) have had absolutely no inputI think if this goes ahead I'm done with City and professional football
You can't just throw away 100 plus years of history blood sweat and tears
I'm bored of greedy petulant multi millionaires and their agents anyway
My understanding is that the 5 invitees are based on merit (what a crazy idea) from the previous season - I.e. the highest placed non-founding member from one of each “top 5” leagues or something?Not sure about Leipzig.
I think Dortmund might be one of the 15.
Leipzig, Porto, Ajax, PSV and 1 turkish team are the 5 invitees that make up the 20
Dutch and Belgium leagues to amalgamate
Probably to allow Boca, Corinthians, Inter Miami etc to join after a couple of years should it become a football version of the NFL.Is there a legal reason they're using THE Super League and not EUROPEAN Super League?
City set to be banned apparently. With immediate effect.
Completely disagree. We along with the other 5 should be booted out of the league immediatelyOn the bright side, at least we will go down as the last side to win the league before football was destroyed. Should help immortalise this side. Imagine if that had been the dippers...
