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

[Oldtraffordblue1]

So you're in as a founding member, and that's it. You stay in even if you become total, embarrassing shite. Sounds very 'sporting'.

I think I'm close to saying 'fuck it!'. Football is just becoming a cash machine for owners, nothing more. The US take-over is complete.

no relegation, showing matches on your own tv stations, capping players wages and therefore agents fees - what's not to like

if you're american owned

also guess which club gets the full £300m grant for infrastructure?

The Yank owners won't be happy until their football teams are playing in a Franchised league of some sort. The fact they will also run said league will be just an irrelevance obviously...

It’s replacing the CL only, not affecting domestic leagues

You're mad if you don't think this will have a knock on effect to the domestic leagues. You think the other 14 clubs are just going to sit back and watch the top 6 get even richer and further from reach? Then you have FIFA teaming up with UEFA to try and come up with counter measures. It would rock football as we know it.

Super league featuring Arsenal and Tottenham lol

Another shift in the Balance of Power™

We're cheats if we win anything, now they concoct a plan to keep themselves relevant and earning coin for their owners without earning the right on the pitch.

It's a sideshow that will no doubt kill of the traditionalists in the sport, making way for the incoming non tribal showcase style of sport that will appeal to the day-trippers. To be fair it doesn't really matter much because the media have already poisoned the well, football winners aren't congratulated any more unless you're a team that has their version of royal pedigree.

This could very well be the last season of the sport as we know it.

Genuine question but under their proposals would Leicester and West Ham automatically be in this super league as things stand? I have seen people saying they wouldn't but Arsenal would if they are not in then it does affect the league because what is the point for other teams. It's not right imo.

 

[Oldtraffordblue1]

Yep, those two clubs not involved provides some hope here.

Bayern might be waiting to see how their fans react to the idea after all they are supposed to be fan/big sponsors owned

 

[doobyedoobye]

It will be interesting to see how the domestic leagues, UEFA, FIFA and the outsider clubs react, if the can work together on an alternative plan it could be a very interesting few months
