Champions League revamp

[Efcjake]

Bullingham also told the meeting the FA would refuse to grant governing body endorsements – essentially work permits – for overseas players at clubs that participated in the Super League. The meeting, which began at 11am, was marked by a sense that each of the 14 clubs wanted the same thing – which is not always the case – and, as the day wore on, there would be a growing optimism that the breakaway had lost its impetus.

The anger bubbled in plain sight. The 14 have no ill feeling towards the big six clubs themselves and they recognise how important they are to the Premier League product. But it is a different story in terms of their feeling towards the owners of them, together with the executives that do their bidding.

All Premier League clubs quit Super League after FA ban warning

All the Premier League clubs signed up to the European Super League withdrew hours after the FA warned that any club involved would be banned from all domestic competitions

Need to be punished and a message sent. Other wise give it a few years and we will be back here..

No word 'proposed' in the official statement:

Leading European football clubs announce new Super League competition

Liverpool Football Club can confirm that we have joined Europe's leading clubs in agreeing to form a new competition, the European Super League.

www.liverpoolfc.com

And the wording is quite unequivocal on the ESL's website:

The Super League - Press Release

LEADING EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CLUBS ANNOUNCE NEW SUPER LEAGUE COMPETITION

thesuperleague.com

this is where the lawyers will argue on either side and hopefully these arrogant gobshite clubs will be in a hamstrung limbo for years to come, rejecting on the crassness of their greed.

“It was the yanks lad”
“ We don’t deserve punishment get over it”
“HA HA your bitter”
“If we’re punished you bloos should be for Han Sagers lad “

Even if they dont get punished, which they absolutely should but let's face it we all know football is bent so probably wont, the end is nigh for arsenal and spurs. They are massively overleveraged on the stadiums, huge wage Bill's and are doing backwards on the pitch. Spurs have two more assets they can flog but beyond that they're fecked.

those statements from the shithouse 6 are a disgrace, no credit to any of them (or the foreign teams) for backing down, but fair play to the legacy fans from all clubs, and the rent boys who turned up at the bridge.

These absolute leech owners and clubs tried to bring the footballing equivalent of the gunpowder plot to the world's game - they tried to blow the whole thing up and take control themselves.

What happened to the actual gunpowder co-conspirators - they were tortured and executed for their crimes.

The 14 pl clubs, la Liga, seria a, FIFA and uefa should carry out the footballing equivalent of torture and execution on these traitors and make sure this disgrace can never happen again.

If they get away relatively scott free because after they buckled and were pressured into the u-turn, what was the point of the resistance to the proposal?

They will perpetually be stains on the game we all love - Liverpool were already there for Hysel, they have some company now.

Never forgive, never forget.

A few years is optimistic.
They'll already be plotting something else.

Massive points deduction, 1 year ban from Europe.

Its impossible to punish the owners. FSG wont be coming over here anytime soon. There off Carra's Christmas Card list and know they're not welcome. So they're not bothered about protests or abuse.
Any fines will be offset against the club. In fact they may now decide that as it was the fans, players and manager that deprived them of a few dollars, then maybe a spot of asset stripping may be in order to make up the owners personal losses.

I hope the 14 continue to wear the t-shirts when playing the “big 6” just to embarrass them.

 

[Neiler]

Don’t accept the sugar coated PR, “we listened to the fans and footballing community” - rubbish.

Publicity and coms teams going into overdrive, players agents sending out tweets to protect their brands. Never forget these clubs are self interested parasites looking for their next or better deal.

This needs watching, we’ve seen what they are capable off, the next thing will be to try and cultivate Uefa and realise their “vision” within a current format and use what they did as a threat of leaverage to get their own way internally.

Now more then ever when this dies down do we need to be on guard, the famous old saying on liberty applies here, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance......

Unbelievable. They'll just shuffle the deck and sit on it for another few years.

At least by that stage Barcelona will have went bankrupt

I’m done with football if they don’t. You can see the narrative already changing on social media and it will only get pushed further. People are shameless. Some fans of those clubs being virtuous the past few days but if by a miracle they are punished in a manner that affects on the field matters that will change and there will be uproar from those people who will say what fits to look noble in a situation. It stinks mate. I thought the game was rotten and monotonous as is but this whole situation has really driven it home.
