I seem to remember a lot of pissing and moaning about this exact stuff (it's all money/gonna feed the big clubs/ooh I don't like change) firstly when the premiership was created (I was in favour at the time) then when the European Cup (which I liked) was turned into the gross narcissistic bloated monster it's become. Change happens. We just have to move with it. Imho it won't happen anyway and is just a bargaining tool.

this is happening.

jp Morgan wouldn’t announce financing and clubs wouldn’t leave the eca if this was posturing.

Clubs have started to leave The ECA and club chairmen and executives have resigned from their UEFA roles. This is going to happen

What do the Premier League have to lose right now? The competition becomes meaningless if the “big six” just qualify for this SuperLeague anyway so just fuck them off

i hope they do , let the "big 6" fuck off and play there plastic games , kick them out of the league , carry on the prem and champions league as normal , most football fans wouldn't give a fuck if the big 6 fucked off.
Tbh after all this ,city included i would be happy for them too as well, the commercialisation of football is killing it .
This will be the pinnacle of it tbh.
Its disgraceful to the likes of west ham and Leicester who have worked there asses off to be in with a shout of the champions league .
Footballs about competition .
Fuck this nonsense .
As people have said i dont see how this can coincide with league football ,as there is no incentive any more to finish top 4 or top 6 .
If it does go ahead ,ill try and find a local non league club to support .
Bollocks to it .

It's hard to see how a super league would be financially viable long term? Sure it would make a splash for a season or 2 and they might have some super sponsors lined up but only 12 teams - so 22 games a season?? (presuming the national leagues boot the 12 clubs from domestic competitions). If nobody is interested in watching (which I think we can safely say from all the comments online they ain't) then TV money will go away, sponsers will go away... it's a dead league

If FIFA really do ban players from those 12 from playing in the World Cup then we are going to see top players leaving in droves - only the older (last payday types) will stick around and no up and coming talent will want to move to a SL club...

I think the ultimate idea is 20 teams. 15 founder members and 5 who qualify on merit each year.

There will be plenty interested in watching. Maybe not the traditional fans but the global viewing figures will be high.

I suspect it will the the CL that becomes the dead league.
