I believe the snakes super league chairman Florentino perez & his vice chairman (cronies) have just had their 1st board meeting by zoom & voted for a salary increase for all of them.
They also voted to change the games name to soccer so all tourists fans can relate to it.
Any games ending in a draw will be decided by a shootout .
To get back in the good books of Legacy fans they are getting topless cheerleaders in for halftime entertainment for all games .

I don't understand why fans are saying the players won't get richer because of the ESL. Of course they will! The ESL will generate ten times the world tv revenue of the CL. And TV is the only place that clubs can generate the revenue needed to pay the increasingly greedy players. Just look at Sterling: playing poor but still expecting a new huge pay increase. Where do fans imagine this pay raise will come from? That's right... tv revenues. Which currently are stagnant.

Football is the most exciting game on earth. But is is terribly dull when 90% of teams are parking the bus every week.

I don't think Americans understand the cultural impact of football clubs in the UK.

Most of these clubs have been around for over a century and there are families who have been supporting and attending matches for generations. They're a part of local identity, whether or not they also happen to be multi million/ billion pound businesses.

US sports might have their exceptions but this is the standard of football in Britain. Sports franchises in American aren't even fixed to one geographical location. One day you're supporting the Seattle Supersonics, the next they've jumped 2000 miles down the road to Oklahoma.

I'm not even targeting American sports, I'm a big NBA fan, but I do think that there's a fundamental cultural aspect of football that the supporters across the pond don't understand because you simply can't until you've lived it.

Football isn't always fair. It's not been fair to us in the past and it's, quite frankly, not been fair on the teams at the bottom end of the table for decades. But a big part of it is about overcoming odds, falling and getting back up again. Promotion and relegation are ingrained in my brain as a Manchester City supporter.

In American supports, leagues/ conferences are often a closed loop where the lowest teams are rewarded for being shit in order to maintain the "parity" you talk about.

That's not the way it works, as far as I'm concerned. The pyramid is a far more engaging system, in no small part because of the brutality.

listen i completely understand this, and why as a man city fan i dislike the idea of the ESL. I truly love the way football has a system based on staying competitive and sticking to your team when they are down

but that can equally apply to fans of teams here in the US. I have been a hockey fan my whole life, lived and died with the NY Rangers. Ive seen much more disappointment then i have seen championships. which is something that man city fans can understand

Brilliant post and absolutely spot on.

I don’t want to be disbarging about American’s relationship with sport, they feel the pain when they lose and have family ties too.

But football has pretty much replaced organised religion in Europe. It’s not an entertainment product, it’s part of who we are.

Was hopefully around midday that City were going to announce they had pulled out of this ESL. Seems to have gone very quiet now from what I see on here. No press/media tweeter saying anything about City.
Hope I am wrong an City quit before it is really to late

Been quiet since we announced we was joining it nothing at all from the club, which to me explains alot.

It won't generate any more money, the Premier League is the best in the world ar generating finance, Perez and Agnelli are desperate, the fact 6 English teams are "invited" should tell you everything.
