Mike Keegan saying this is very much a US led proposal and that he’s led to believe that City and Chelsea were backed into a corner on Friday

Will you attend City games if we join a European Super League?

Not an excuse, Abu Dhabi alone has enough money to bring an alternative to the table.Mike Keegan saying this is very much a US led proposal and that he’s led to believe that City and Chelsea were backed into a corner on Friday

Strange to be backed in a corner. If the terrible 3 fucked off the league and UCL to play Italian clubs 5 times a year why the fuck didn’t we just let them get on with it?!?!
this won’t happen, is my guess

LEAVE FOOTBALL THE WAY IT IS

Exactly. They could simply give 50,000 tickets away free and take the beer and burger money as a bonus.
We pretty much do that with 30% of our CL tickets anyway. Student Selfie night at our place when Shakhtar Donetsk rock up
For the 4th season in a row.

It can't can it. Miscalculation by those involved.Strange to be backed in a corner. If the terrible 3 fucked off the league and UCL to play Italian clubs 5 times a year why the fuck didn’t we just let them get on with it?!?!

It is simply not enough of an attractive draw to justify the 4bn price tag proposedIt can't can it. Miscalculation by those involved.
those involved should be immediately relegated to league 2 and I include us in that if we are tho

Totally agree @Mad Eyed Screamer . Sport is exciting because you can win, lose or draw. In some ways the clubs feel like gamblers who like the excitement of winning only and have no interest in ever losing!Everything you have written is spot on - speaking as a fan.
But from a Club owners perspective yes football is a business and these owners clearly want to have a guarentee in protecting their investment to the detriment of the game as a whole. Not that they give a shit.
However, if they are businessmen who want to protect their investment (I agree they are), then it's a bizarre that they are doing something that is plainly unpopular with their customers (fans). I can't think of many businesses that succeed by alienating their core custom.
I don't think it's even clear that there's a global demand for this competition either. Will it be exciting watching us play Juventus twice a season, every season? The reason it's exciting to play Juventus is that it should be a rarity, not a given. Jeez... we could end up getting excited that we end up playing Watford and Middlesborough at this rate! :)
