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

[burning blue soul]

We've signed a contract agreeing to participate in this for the next 23 years, apparently.

this is the icing on the cake, 23? a prime number? it all is just wrong!!!

my spider senses are on fire here!!

I'm curious, what will motivate the "established" top 6 in domestic competition if they are already guaranteed a european spot in the super league.

 

[Claytop]

So we could get drawn in the same group as United then if we both qualify for the knock out phase face them again.

6 derbies in a season. Welcome to Glasgow.

Oh fck, more derbies for us not to show up at...

Think there will be plenty of others who aren’t at one of the 12 clubs. Realistically we need a few from those clubs to come out and speak up against it.

So far in the Premier League I've seen Van Aanholt, Fofana, McGinn and Richarlison against it/take the piss out of the idea. Need one of the 'ESL *vomits*' players to grow a pair and condemn it.

I'm not going to slam the club like most,as i believe we were placed in a predicament that very much saw us damned if we do/damned if we don't.

It was also clearly a incredibly hard decision hence us joining the party 'late'.

I think the club has felt it necessary to get on board for footballing reasons,far more than the money/marketing side.

Thats not to say i like it,or agree with it,as i want to see it scrapped asap.

I'm sure more will be revealed very soon,but as for the way its been handled and rolled out........what a fucking circus.

Leeds have changed the Fixtures page on their website to:

Merseyside Reds
Trafford Reds
Brighton
London Whites
Burnley

Not even joking!

I laughed out loud.

That is really fucking funny.

I so love Footy humour,best in the World.

I thought the idea was to stay in the UEFA comps as well.....basicaly this SL is just another competition (20 team league split into 2 group of 10 with knockout games at the end of it)..I know UEFA are saying they are going to sanction clubs/players that play in this league BUT if they are beaten on this legally and no sanctions can be put in place wouldnt it mean that the Super League is just basically another competition (but only open to the elite 15 members plus 5 others every year?
Sorry if I have got this wrong

No, its in place of the Champs League, not in addition to. UEFA will ban members of the ESL from UEFA comps.

I have it on very good authority that MUST had a meeting with United a couple of months back. One of the things they brought up with the club was this idea of a European Super League as there was talk of it in the media back in February. They asked the United rep if it really was a thing and they categorically denied that it was.

Fucking lying bastards

I'm into Cricket and they have introduced "The Hundred" format which has caused a lot of grief and uproar.
However they had mass fan consultation on the subject and even though it's controversial they are going ahead with it.
Main difference I'm emphasising is they did a lot of research into it and asked the fans of the game.

So Boris 'Greed is good' Johnson is against English clubs wanting to potentially increase their revenue 100%. People say football is gone, I say the world is gone.
