How crapDoesn't matter as we don't need either to qualify anymore. We are "founding members" now. We can finish 15th and still be in this new league. Sounds great doesn't it?

Doesn’t matter when 15 clubs are earning £350m for being in a closed competition, and the rest of football haven’t got a pot to piss in. It will be like taking candy from a kid.Am sure the proposals published earlier said participating clubs could only spend 55% of their income on wages and transfer fees?

Can we get Thomas Cook to sponsor it
Do you know what it was last year?Which ensures we will never win this. Other clubs prestige will mean they will get the best players.

So who's taking home 45% of hundreds of millions? Can obviously see why certain owners have gone for this.

Where is all this money coming from?
its a cash up front injection from JP Morgan. Split between the teams and then the league pays it back.

The difficulty for us is that, in my opinion, we were painted into a corner. It would have been commercial suicide not to join this operation.
It's clear to me that this is American driven and that the model is the American NFL. Also, if we look at the investment we received from Silver Lake ($500 million), an American Silicon Valley private equity company, the writing was on the wall. There is no way that they took such a large stake without them having lots of conversations about maximising returns on their financial investments.
Fundamentally it stinks, but we all know that this has been lurking in the background for some time. The fact that is being bankrolled by the US banking giant JP Morgan speaks volumes for who is controlling this decision. Also, we all know that there have been news reports going back to 2019 of plans for a super league. So we can't pretend that this is a shock.
We also need to consider whether this is a gigantic game of bluff, with the clubs involved wanting a greater share of the revenue from the European competitions, and also a say in remodelling the Champions League. It's possible that UEFA will blink, and compromise with the Super League clubs.
I am hoping, perhaps naively, that this will be the case.

JP Morgan financing apparently. To be paid to the 15 founders upfront.
