Even if true the damage is done. Clubs reputation is in the toilet, back to the top of UEFA's shit list, pissed off the fans by not communicating.
Well a well worded statement that effectively torpedoes Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal plot would be well received.

They spent 2 years maybe more trying to kill us. Now lets kill them. And we can do this.

Invitees are one thing, architects another.
 
They went for the American franchise model too soon and now governments are involved. They’re fucked and it’s their own greedy fault.

You might be right that it’s all part of the plan and was foreseen. I don’t think so. We will see.
Too soon in PR terms . . . not in practical terms. Post-COVID, the Spanish clubs the and clubs in general are hurting. The J.P. Morgan loan(s) is (are) on offer at what I assume are attractive rates (with rates likely to go higher -- maybe much -- if economies recover post-COVID). I am curious as to the collateral (secured line of credit? I assume unsecured -- or do the stronger clubs guarantee the weaker clubs' debt?). Messi's on his last legs. RM needs a revamp. Spurs and Arsenal look to be miles behind regular way CL qualification. The American owners want the mostly closed shop idea because its the locked-in model here that creates unassailable product monopolies. So we start with this half-step -- semi-closed, five open slots -- that will inevitably morph into a fully-closed, full season league like in the US. Because that's what makes the owners the richest. Guaranteed revenue. No relegation. No competition. On the weekends. Brand name matches. There will I'm sure be a harsher salary cap eventually too.
 
Sky have got an utter **** who spits at children galloping round on a high horse telling us about the immorality of the Super League.

The lack of self awareness is mind blowing.
Sky staring down the barrel and oblivion beckons if this doesn't get kicked into the long grass. Hope those watching Neville et al understand that perhaps there is more at stake than just their love of us supporters.
 
The globalisation of football can't be stopped, but some balance between the local and the global should be found. A big club today can't exist without a huge global audience and support, but football is also about local communities. It will take time before finding the right balance between the local roots of the big clubs and their global aspirations.
