Sorry mate but you would. You don't just walk away from being a supporter. You'd eventually come to terms with it and the first game against barcelona you'd be frothing at the mouth. We all would. I'm not meaning to have a pop at people here I'm just pointing out the reality.

What, in a friendly league with nothing to play for each year. Yeah mate I’d be fucken dead excited.

They cant (without support of the six) - to remove or add someone to the PL would take a vote of 75% majority rather than the traditional 14 votes. The 14 cant go off on one either way.

How much do you think they offered spurs owners to get them involved so that the 75% can't be met and spurs become whipping boys for the tournament?

They wouldn't though. You'd still support them even though you'd be fuming.

I would be devastated if Everton were part of this, but I don't think I could ever go back to Goodison if we joined a closed shop super league. Some things are hard to look past and put to one side. This would be one of those things.

I would just stick to Irish League football. I buy a season ticket for my hometown team every year to help them, but I would start going as often as I can, home and away to fill the void.

If this actually happens football as we know it is dead anyway. I'd rather be dining at the top table than "super sunday" clashes with West Ham.

Think you’re miles off to be honest. They won’t be welcomed back at all, clubs will want them gone.

yeah we all want them gone for the betrayal, but its looking to me like the prem probably wants them around because does it really matter if they play in the super league or champs league? the prem just wants the money the top 6 clubs will give to the competition. These six teams already said they want to play in the domestic league anyway. They don't really care though - because they get a ton of money playing in the new super league, they're just doing this to ask for a bigger slice of the pie...

The other clubs won't like them being around, but they'll tolerate it because of the money.

Well done for understanding the point I was making. I agree with you 110%.

But that’s not what you were saying at all. You are saying that fans might find first of all but ultimately be grateful.
Which I disagree with massively.
I can see the way that super league is going and I’m grateful that we aren’t even close to being involved.

I don't think it'll come to fruition but if it doesn't make no mistake about it the PL and UEFA need to punish all 6 of these teams heavily.

The only punishment that will do any good is expulsion from all other competitions. A fine won’t suffice with the money being talked about in this new competition.

Let them go off and play their exhibition matches against each other for 23 years and see how they get on.
