Green light for the Super League?

Absolutely not.

A super league is environmental suicide, with clubs and plastic fans jetting about for self gratification.

The only reason football is what it us is because of history - in the uk thats how many FA cups, how many Div 1 titles etc. Who gives a damn about a chrome plated plastic cup made up for dome rich fellas to get richer. How can that possibly equate to 140 years of history? How can you go on and compare teams if the competition changes.

Any club that joins this is not interested in its fans, its not interested in continuing the history of a long established world sport. The football club dies the day it joins in with those greedy skunks, and is reborn as a new one, with no history and no achievements, into an entertainment club.

I'd actually morn the loss of great club names .... apart from one, if course.

All of that is true, but isn't it all applicable to what is currently served up as modern day football?

Providing we can still play in the Prem - its an interesting concept. Whats to stop clubs like Everton, WHU, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton from opting in and using the revenue created to bypass FFP / even up the playing field against the CL clubs should the scab 6 stay with UEFA ?

Stick two fingers up to UEFA / CL Cabal and the PL all at once. Sadly too many of our fans would be up in arms though.

Jesus freaking Christ.

PL is corrupt so let’s join (checks notes) the European Super League.

No you join the superleage you get punted from demostic competition you can never return and all honours are removed as if you never existed.. this should be the only way the PL/FA should respond to this.

It’s definitely desirable to Americans and fans in the Far East and Africa. They outnumber us legacy fans by quite a bit.

Not entirely true.

It'll only be international fans of those specific teams that stand to benefit in favor. However those clubs international fans outnumber our international fans 20 to 1.
 

Gonna be majestic when it's just the corrupt rats barca and Madrid left again when everyone has pulled out, and they get kicked out of the champions league for TWICE being the main instigators of trying to break that up.

Truly rancid pair of clubs
 
Let them go ahead and create their own super league and then hopefully end up being kicked out of the premier league. I am sure they will all have a nice time playing each other every other week. Premier league would be a lot better without the scabby 6 being in it.

Pretty much .... but that's not a reason to embrace things getting worse.

There are people on here, I'm sure, who will bemoan it yet throw money at sky or whoever to watch it, not putting 2+2 together to realise they are making it work. Just like those who hate the stagnation if the prem, but STILL subscribe to Sky or BT. Stupidheads

The great hope now is that Barca and Madrid on one side, and the fleeing Super League clubs on the other, tear each other apart in the courts.

That's what this is all about now, imo.

These Spanish clubs must know the German's are out, they must know that no English clubs are gonna go for it.

What they have done though, is remove the legal hurdle (UEFA forbidding it) that meant the sly 6 didn't have to honour the agreement they've made.

I fully expect them to sue them all now if they don't honour that agreement. I'm no expert like, just seems so obvious, even to a layman like me.
