The Super League | FA + PL: New Charter & Fines | UEFA: Settlement

[Esteban de la Sexface]

That's bollocks though. It has literally never been done in the history of the PL. Just because something is technically possible doesn't mean it's actually possible. No club has emerged as a top club in the league without a billionaire investor because it cannot be achieved. You're living in a fantasy world that does not exist.

but even with billionaire owners they can't break through the elite now - not only is it anti competition, football speaking, it's anti competition, financially speaking.

They've carved off a large slice of the pie for themselves, forever.

It is immoral, unethical and absolutely wrong. It is a racket.

You're whole argument seems to be, we've been unofficially shafting everyone for decades, but lets make it official and permanent to shaft everyone else and somehow you've made the leap to think that's ok. If that's your world I don't want anything to do with it. You're welcome to it

Can't imagine you would be laughing if the big 6 left, the money would follow, you would be left with a moneyless league no investment and teams would crumble, starting at the bottom and creep up, the teams left would become feeder teams, there would be no funny

Okay but isn’t the league pointless if the big six just qualify for this super league anyway? What does it matter people will still follow the premier league

 

[lancs blue]

I can't see that succeeding, all clubs signed up to accept the rules laid down by the FA and by extension UEFAand FIFA.

Woodward walks away from uefa

 

[dhruvblue]

So...the clubs that hate us because we were upsetting their apple cart tried to fuck us up via UEFA. We are now joining a private company run by those self same cunts who don't even need to get a third party involved to hobble us any way they see fit in the future.

What could possibly go wrong with that scenario?

5 year s down a new Manchester City will laugh at us for losing at CAS despite or numerours attempts to maintain new Status quo

I am so happy guys - just found out about this news and didn't know what the majority of the fans were thinking about it and then saw the results of the vote :D <3

Me myself - have been "obsessed" fan for 15 years and already have decided to finish it as soon as this "Super League" shit will be confirmed, because I am definitely choosing the football over my favorite football club..

 

[meltonblue]

I just read a an article where its says -
Sources close to several clubs say their research shows that younger supporters want to see more games between the world’s most famous clubs and players and the clubs are responding to the trends.

Do our younger fans agree with this- I would be considered as an older supporter, and to me playing them over and over again would be boring. I personally like playing different teams in different places, that you get in the early rounds of the Chumps league.

Asked my son about it and there’s an element of truth in that.

Ultimately though, the reason we don’t have as many competitive games in the CL until the latter stages, or we get the same clubs at the top of the pyramid domestically is a consequence of the concentration of wealth already that’s happened over the last thirty years in particular.

It’s a big moment for football but this is the end of a long road. The underlying causes of the damage has been there for a long time and is a much more deep rooted issue.

 

[PragueBlue]

Well for a start Arsenal arent in the CL this season or next as they finished way outside the top 4 and have done for the last 5 years.

A minor point I know but they could still qualify for next year if they win the Europe League.

 

[Jesus2020]

Any confirmation that CL have actually been postponed die to this?

[Churchlawtonblue]

The radio silence from the club on this so far is pretty telling. They're not even trying to sell the merits of this to us as fans, because there aren't any. I pity the poor bastards who are manning the club's social media channels today who will probably cop most of the flak.

I'm simply stunned Ric. I feel let down on a massive scale. Clearly nobody at the club gives a **** about what we think or care about.

 

[Колобок]

i'm now imagining the Dortmund president running around his digs and squealing, all giddy about the bidding war for Haaland this is going to cause.

 

[Ribchester]

No he cant do that.No country would allow these clowns to carry their National Flag.He is priavte businessman not some world messiah or dictator where countries would line to play his WC

Is it Kerry Packer

 

[Gumzy97]

The leaders of the super league want 2 french clubs to join

 

[hilts]

I think they’ll happily walk away from the premier league

city v united
Liverpool v real
Chelsea v Milan
Arsenal v Real Madrid

Leeds v Burnley
Everton v Newcastle
Villa v wolves
Brentford v palace

which games would you watch over the weekend?

The 4 bottom ones

 

[Marvin]

Confused and bewildered. I think as football fans we have all seen where this was heading and we know which clubs have been driving it but will they succeed?

I don't think they will. And at the last moment we have hitched our carriage to the Super League train.

Logically expect a fudge. But the rump isn't going to back down. Those that who are left behind, the majority do actually hold power. Economically the power is with the ESL because they have the sponsors in waiting. Battle between economics and politics.

Not sure who wins.

 

[PragueBlue]

In a way, I’d like to see this happen. It would be amusing plus I’d be able to clock up a load of new grounds while we’re playing non-league football.

I know it was tongue in cheek but if the teams were kicked out of their national leagues, they'd probably just make the new SL into a proper league rather than CL replacement. To be honest it's probably what they ultimately want.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Any confirmation that CL have actually been postponed die to this?

Postponed until April 31st.

 

[RandomJ]

And that's who we got in bed with. Don't want to share the wealth, want more for ourselves and strangle any semblance of competition.

This. It's a sad fucking day.
