The EPL. Need those clubs, but not their attitude.

Ironic seeing as we are only a couple of good results away from qualifying for the CL, yet you see no issue with the SL and the fact we will never be allowed in?!?!

When is the ESL going to start? The English clubs want to play in the Prem' as well, so they'd have to assemble a second squad.
The ESL is going to be a midweek night fixture, apparently, so are they hoping there fans will go to both matches when their Prem' team plays on the weekend?
Which matches are going to have embarrassing attendances?
What about when their Prem' team has a home midweek fixture in the same week as their ESL side?
Will both Leagues work together to arrange the fixtures?
And will people watch the same teams play each other time and again on TV in a competition where there's only one trophy to play for and the also rans
will be known long before the end of the season and there's not even a relegation fight to keep you interested?
So many questions and I've only just started.
Have you had a look at the website? It doesn't give loads of info, I get the feeling it's open to change a bit. But it says the 20 teams would be split into 2 groups of 10. Within the groups teams play each other twice and then the top 4 from each group go through to the knock out.
There would be a fair amount of dead rubber, if you are bottom after 8 games, you have 10 games to go and little hope of getting into the top 4 for the knock out
I guess there could be a small amount of variation depending on how they split the groups, is it seeded or done via a draw? Do they put all the English teams in one group or split them equally over the two groups?

Unless it’s treat like the G League for the NBA.

The only way the 6 should be allowed to stay in the prem is for the chairmen/money men who sanctioned this to NEVER be allowed to be involved with football again. Take them out of the loop and put, slowly back into fan control.
15 votes needed to expel these teams from the Premier League.
Makes sense now why Spurs got added.
Legally binding contracts for Super League and not voted out of Premier League means that the punishment is no more Champions League for these teams, a tournament they have resigned from anyway.

The rather sad thing that you don't see is that this will be the end of Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, City, and Spurs. Sure, the brand names will continue but the core, the heart, and nature of these clubs will be gone.
I am not sure if you fall into the Legacy Fan bracket, but these traditional community-based fans will be lost in this strategy and all of the marketing and effort put into developing new Future Fans. You might not realise it at first but soon the reality will dawn on you that you simply do not matter to the corporate machine that you used to love - this will happen. When it does you might give up on football altogether or you might realise that the game you knew did continue and that really, AFC Liverpool, though only playing Marine and the like is where your heart is. This is your future.
Why is it 15? I thought it was a 2/3 majority?

I said that yesterday. And they will have been paid a handsome sum for it. But I don't think it matters, as I think because they have specifically broken a rule, they can be punished anyway. And I think the FA can push it through with an additional vote.

The depressing thing about this is; Football at best will stay as it is. The changes to the Champions League will go through to make these clubs richer than they are now and make both European and domestic leagues even less competitive. Klopp et al and all the plastic armchair fans who are saying they are against this super league at all costs will just lap it up and there will be another attempt in a few years time.
While they’re tipping the scales even further in their favour they’ll be sneering at clubs trying to compete within their means as having no ambition and just taking the money every season. If that was something they weren’t doing. Just more of it. Much more.

One of our media kopites was bleating about this and referred to the RS as "the people's club". Spew and vomit.AC Milan
Theres a £175mil loan that has been given to one club.
If it had been provided to ALL of those 6 clubs then I would agree. Call them all in.
But it hasnt.
Id call in the loan immediately.
It may seem unfair as you say, but take the £175mil from Spurs and let their billionaire owner pay for his 'SUPER CLUB' out of his own pocket.
Disagree.
If Liverpool fans want to set up AFC Liverpool then i suggest we let them use our stadium and facilities.
More than happy for the club to show it is,
THE PEOPLES CLUB.

They wouldn’t need academies. All those extra funds would just make them buy everyone.

Agreed. Our governing bodies are pansies.
