Reads like the Tragedy of the Commons, where individual sheep owners had no investment in the collective infrastructure of the grazing commons.

Everyone lost.

Love how sky sports make up conversation with "unnamed board members" of clubs to stir the pot lol

They've spoken to no one.

Not sure what’s wrong with what she said really, she’s basically saying it’s fair to criticise Liverpool more than the other teams.

And she’s right. Super League wouldn’t get off the ground without United and Liverpool.

......and some others to play.

Have you seen Figo? He doesn’t need to virtue signal to get a shag let me tell you

It was a joke kidda. xx

Wouldn’t be so sure. Leaks at clubs happen all the time.

Im starting to think they did not want Jose in the Super League, or Jose was generally against it, so Levy got rid. The timing is too weird as they talked about on talksport.

There's no champs league race for them, so why sack him?

This place STINKS of legacy fans here.
*boots up Fifa 21 and football twitter profile named RatioRicharlison*

Richarlison just retweeted one of the Gary Neville videos from yesterday. Not exactly a huge move, but nice that he’s on the right side

He's apparently a really, really decent guy, Natalie Gedra the ESPN journalist spoke at length on a podcast about how much he puts back and the social conscience he has.

you know I'm right, that's why you're upset. You'll be watching Barca vs Real day in day out.

If being a football fan means I have to have an emotional relationship with the game itself, and every club playing, then no. For rest, read the previous reply.

You need to grow up.

 

[Brennan]

......and some others to play.

But there’s no chance the idea would have progressed this far without Liverpool, United, Real and Barca. Nobody was going to float a super league without those teams.

You could have subbed out the Italian league teams for the Germans and French, and still gone ahead.

is this a common view amongst torcida or are you just on the wind up?

Which part of that post?

And honestly, I couldn't care less about Torcida view. Not a part of.

You mean like the government bank rolled Real Madrid? Look at Croatian National players, why would they stay in Croatia? Sides like Split and DInamo have a great history but the leagues went by the wayside, these players go to the rich clubs because thats the "Dream". It shouldnt be.

So you are all in favour of this European Super League, but have just denounced 2/12 teams so far, as they're not good enough, add in the remaining 3 teams, and the 5 qualifiers, and is it really a competitive competition you're excited for? Because it says to me it's a glorified pre-season tournament.

Croatian economy is the issue here, doctors don't have proper wages here, let alone footballers. It's a small country, small market, poor economy, it's natural players want to move to bigger clubs and surroundings.

As I said earlier, I'm looking at this as pure entertainment product. Like I'd watch a TV show. Same as with NBA, watch some 'big games', conference finals and grand finals from competitive standpoint (aka really wanna know who wins). Watching everything else like it's a TV show, just want to be entertained.

To placate angry Spurs fans fuming at the Super League. Perfect timing from Levy and no coincidence in my opinion.

Richarlison changed his twitter avatar to someone else? Is that Neymar?

That wont happen mate. Politics will dictate it. The respective FAs dont want it, they wouldnt allow their players to play in the Olympics under GB. The reason the Welsh clubs are in is because they were invited 100plus yrs ago because they didnt have their own league. They dont want to, understanably, lose their idendity as the FAs would dissappear.

The Benelux league has changed this somewhat.
