Sky and bt might die, silver linings and all

Oh kaz you've given me a semi

Fuck me they are totally out of touch aren't they, laughable.

Unsurprising. When was the last time he even attended a game? His focus is likely on his NFL team.

The only way to stop this is kicking out the clubs, that won't happen, that extra money will get us a worldie player, next season starts with the new super league, sky and bt will get involved the media will love it flying all over Europe for glamour fixtures the hype will over come the disgust, in a couple of seasons it will be the norm and the world will turn, if you don't want to follow city anymore don't care,welcome to the digital age we've just replaced you with 3 over seas fans thanks for your loyal support but xyz will spend money you won't , that's what will happen and there's fuck all as fans we can do about

Sad But true. In the US people support NFL clubs hundreds of miles away - franchising etc has all but destroyed any links between club and community.

What a bellend

 

[meltonblue]

In what way ?

Because it will devalue it due to some clubs no longer having to compete and gain a minimum level of domestic performance in order to gain access to European competition.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

How is a European Super League viable without a domestic competition?

20 clubs, including five TBD as permanent members once the SL figures out which current non-members can rake in the most fan interest/revenue.

Balanced schedule -- 57 matches -- one home, one away, one in a neutral (read: off-continent) venue.

Top 8 sides make the playoffs; from there, it's just like American sports to get to a final.

Plus there'd probably be a random draw Cup competition.

So figure 70-odd matches a season for the "best" of the sides which approximates what we play now across all competitions (I think).

 

[aguero93:20]

I'll just mod them back in. The rags will have nothing but players ranked 10 overall on 50 year contracts @10m per week though.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

I'd still struggle for an away ticket.

 

[marco]

fuck me post covid and all this we'l be lucky to see 20k in the Etihad

What's the maths on this?

If the ESL would generate more revenue than the Champions League and the Premier League, or it's close then, then we had no choice (a Premier League, CL without Real Madrid and Barclona will collapse).

I think City will be hoping this collapses and will exit if they suspect it will not get off the ground.
