Hardly a big stance, cryptic at best.
The irony as well, the moments cited belonging to the clubs founding the thing.
I hope he fucking takes our club to cleaners...like wtf?I hope Pep is receiving some coaching for tomorrow's presser.
True but don't think anyone in their right mind thinks the current version of televised football is better than it was. And a TV audience/money does depend on the idea that its nearly as good as being there. Imagine full blanket of Glastonbury with just handfuls of people dotted about the place, or a derby game with no one there. The only reason its happening now is because there is a pandemic and its literally that or stop the sport entirely. TV viewership is down due to blanket coverage of games. Any novelty value of a Super League would wear off within a couple of years in terms of viewers watching every available game.It might not matter how full the stadiums are. It's the television audience where the money is and it will be flogged to the highest bidder and shown all over the world.
We've had a full season of fake crowd noise already. And fake VAR. Next will be fake holographic fans. (Consumers). Virtual reality. Fake football.
The rags shares rose 8.5% on the NY Stock exchange this morning.
Capitalism is eating football.
And i am a left wing nutjob.
Read? Where? Your usual go to sources of shite?i've read that their could be time outs in each half - so in essence it could be a game of 4 quarters.

I assure you -- among us "legacy fans" in the US it is NOT the same.I took the time to look around oversea forums. The danger is the other continents, especially Asia, don't really give a shit, many of them actually LIKE the SL idea. I guess in the US it's the same. They care more about the big teams than the rest, so there will be plenty of business cases for these bastards.
I’d keep an eye on Bayern.
those German rags are up to something make no mistake
