I guess if you are "successful" enough, you eventually become what you despised.

Massive tv company compensation from around the globe immediately demanded of uefa if that happens, but we shall see.

By saying he likes that West Ham have a chance to qualify for the CL he is saying he is against the ESL in the most diplomatic way he could.

he did but he waffled.
Pep will be better informed on all this lets see what he says

This is just nonsense fan fiction. The FA has no power over the Premier League.

You think? Read the rules and regs.

So, nothing new here then.

To be fair, Gary Neville has been working on getting independent regulators to stop these clubs having too much control and power even before this Super League announcement.

Pretty sure Bernstein is involved in that too.

Finding out Leeds stuck one of their earn it shirts on every seat in the Liverpool dressing room is brilliant.

Its embarassing. I hate every single one of the dippers but the players haven't done this, its just ridiculous to pile on them for no reason.

Agreed - I posted this earlier today:
-------------------------------------------------------
People thinking this is just a bluff need to wake up - this is happening

No way that this is a bluff - the damage being caused each minute is irreversible

There is no longer a functioning relationship with any of the clubs involved and UEFA going forwards - unless those at board level at the clubs were removed - which wont happen

The next step in this will be getting a deal done with each prospective domestic league - and once we learn what revenue they will pocket from it then we will see it signed and sealed you watch
--------------------------------------------------------

and I will stand by that last sentence I put, which basically relates to what you have also mentioned

It's not a bluff, and of course the leagues will cave and slurp up the solidarity payments.

And eventually the Super League clubs will wonder why there are any solidarity payments at all, and why that 300MM or whatever isn't going to the members of the Super League. And why they spend 90 minutes playing Burnley instead of 90 mins playing Real Madrid -- again -- for more money, prestige, viewers, etc.

And so then they'll leave the domestic leagues. Because what will they need them for? Nothing. Literally nothing. And the solidarity payments will disappear. As will the leagues as we know them.

The solidarity payments are hush payments for current non-elite club owners, and what's left will ultimately be spent on the rope the leagues will use to hang themselves.
