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

[PJM1891]

Perez doesn't like players going away to play for their countries.

“Football has to change, many things have to change. There are national competitions that people do not know their name. Them using players paid by clubs do not make sense. It all has to change. Football, the way is designed now, can’t continue”

Yep, pretty sure the current proposals would be the thin end of the wedge. Probably end up with a couple of super league divisions, add a few more big European clubs, a few South American clubs, MLS clubs etc. Have a truly global franchise, match schedules so that there is a Super League match on every day of the week. That's what I'd ultimately expect if this does get off the ground. Assuming the 6 clubs don't get kicked out of the Prem, I'm pretty sure they'd be leaving of their own volition at some point once the new league is established and successful globally.

Defo

The hysteria around this is over the top.

The top European Leagues and the Champions League are closed shops anyway. They only sell hope to teams outside the cartel but that's all it is, hope.

A Super League was inevitable. The reformatting of the CL in the 90's was the start, then the coefficient and seeding nonsense and then FFP were all nails in the coffin of other clubs.

Chelsea finished 4th in the Premier League and were seeded straight through to the group stage ahead of 42 champions from European Leagues. If people aren't angry about that, then their anger at this is hypocritical.

European football is already a con, this Super League is just removing the pipedreams of other clubs.

It's not the death of football, it's the evolution of it. We don't have to like it but we're fortunate that us as City fans have our club in it.

I was lucky enough to watch football when the money men could buy a couple of years but no more than 4 of domination - we saw the pendulum swing between clubs, lots of different winners of cups and the league. It was a great time - the premier league screwed that up, the champions league made it worse, this will kill it

Perez tweets have the whiff of Trump about them. It's either a fake account or he is poorly in the head.

Hes a complete disgrace to football

So why will the super league be different?

Less chance of Plebs like Everton, West Ham, Leicester, Lyon, Benfica etc. Much better talking penguin. Only "special clubs" those of us that piss perfume and shit gold.

It would have made it slightly more palatable if there had been some club specific comments from Khaldoon on the statement last night, instead of hiding behind quotes from Perez and Glazier. Shows who the drivers of this are. Think we are just along for the ride for fear of missing out, but that possibly makes it worse for me.

I've got no interest in playing the same European teams week in, week out, year in year out without any kind of jeopardy. It's basically glorified friendlies. We will be kicking off at 11am on a weds morning or something to satisfy far east prime time audiences.

I absolutely love English football. Its unique. The pyramid structure, the competition, the crazy stories of Wimbledon, Leicester, our fall and rise, absolutely despising United for ruining my Childhood. Its all part of the story and what makes it so great.

The timing is also pathetic. People just starting to look forward to getting back to stadiums and some normality after over a year of heartache and then this. Absolutely disgusting

Sums up my feelings on this perfectly... it’s been a sad, sad day! Any hope of us backing out with statements on expression from fans etc are all but gone, and even best case scenario, the club is tarnished irrevocably! From what could have been a best ever season has become a farce in the space of a few days. Fucking gutted man.

(timing of it, with no stadium voice, seems planned and gutless! It’s everything that I didn’t think my club; our club, stood for!)
