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

[1.618034]

I was all behind James Milner’s comments, but James, Liverpool don’t get to say “I feel the welcome our bus got was unfair”.

He didn't say that, did he???

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

I hope they stand firm and then we have to back out. I'd rather play West Ham, Leicester, Wolves etc... every week than European elite.

At least we can go to the away games!

The problem these 14 PL clubs have is what if the big 6 say ok?

 

[Manc in London]

Neville and Carragher going on about wanting the competition to be fair, harking back to the halcyon days. Not quite how I remember football from the mid 80s.

Virtue signalling wankers.

I’m not dragging anybody’s name through any mud.

the mud draggers are those who aren’t 100% against this. They are currently dragging every past players name through a mountain of mud.

Sad to see they are being supported in their shit endeavours by a small minority.

We’ve just become a shit man united. It is my duty to oppose that. If you don’t like it use the ignore button. That’s what its there for.

Hits "ignore button"

I think there's probably 4.8bn reasons why City won't do a u turn. No chance

 

[Academica]

Just heard a good one,
Arsenal and Spurs joining the super league is like me walking into the crucible and putting 50p on the table.

 

[stan bowles]

Spit and Neville both missing the point....it's about money. Certain clubs need money. They need huge amounts of it and they need it now.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Well.lets hope we do the right thing and be 1st one to fuck it off tomorrow.
Maybe then the domino's will fall

Wouldn’t mind a pizza that action

Scream if you want to go faster....no thanks let me off I feel sick.

I think there is not a snowballs hell in chance this Super league goes ahead. It’s now all about damage limitation for those involved. I do buy into the notion that both us and Chelsea are less keen as it would make sense.

Being the first to pull out would be a start at redeeming yourself to your fan base and the general public. Would also leave the others looking really bad.

 

[Oldtraffordblue1]

Exactly what it is. Carra admitted it earlier stating they had meetings with people at sky this afternoon. Sky are driving the narrative. Same way they do with everything. The aguero elbow anyone. Going on about it enough inevitably changes minds. They will suffer financially as a result and have the most to lose

Do Sky fear Amazon Prime taking these Super/shit league games

 

[MarsLlama]

He’s a sky paid parrot. Yeah persuading the sky subscribers because sky aren’t getting super league tv rights.
I fucking hate him, your right.
I care about the past, he doesn’t get to moan about wealthy owners using a football club for personal gain when he’s in bed with a billionaire himself bank rolling a league 2 team, paying wages far beyond everyone else. You don’t get to have it all your own way.

This isn't about Sky or Salford City or the Manchester rivalry, not in any way. Please don't let your prior feelings about Gary Neville cloud your judgement.

This Super League proposal will end football as we know it if it goes ahead and the only small chance we have of preventing it is if everyone puts their rivalries aside for a while and pushes collectively. When it's in the mud you can go back to hating him all you want.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He didn't say that, did he???

yes he did lol

 

[yankblue]

I think there's probably 4.8bn reasons why City won't do a u turn. No chance

Unfortunately I think you're right.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Lol

 

[I'm Blue]

He bloody was lol

I saw, I guess irony is lost on a dipper.

 

[PhdWave]

Klopp didn’t actually say he didn’t want it. Mumbled along blamed Gary the red and ran away.

To be honest he said everything he could without pushing it too far..

For example he said: "I like the fact that west ham are competing for CL ". " I have the same opinion on ESL as before " etc..

Not outright condemning but he is not on board with it for sure. Hoping Pep does one better

 

[Palerider]

I'm 63 and football from the sixties and seventies has gone forever so I'm not shocked. It does look like TV has won out over match going fans but we knew that already. The key point for me in all this is the protected status of the chosen few, if they compromise and make it on merit rather than global appeal then it would ultimately just be a champions league replacement which I could live with. If however the Usain Bolts of the football world insist on being given a 10metre start then the competiveness will die. Interestingly it looks like most of us prefer Stoke on a wet Monday than Barcelona 4 times a season.

I’ve read hundreds of pages of this thread today and there’s still something I just can’t get my head around.
15 founders that never get relegated but 5 that can right?
So, they get 5 teams to make up the 20 (let’s imagine they’ve got their 15), who potentially cause a shit storm with threatened sanctions from their own leagues on leaving and put themselves at risk of relegation if they don’t perform?
Will their respective leagues welcome them back with open arms like long lost sons whilst preparing to wave off the next lamb to the slaughter?
Who willingly signs up for this in their right mind?
This is potentially every 1st tier league in Europe held to ransom by welcoming back the failures at one time or another!
Am I missing something?
