Green light for the Super League?

Nice to see the Germans doing the right thing again.

There's a lot to like about Germany.

What happens if none of the PL clubs that are in the ESL get relegated out because they just do enough to stay in the system?

Does that mean no other PL club can ever can get in? Even if they won the PL?

Presumably it's based on some sort of coefficient but to be honest I can't be bothered investigating. This is all UEFAs fault for changing the European Cup into the Champions League and making it all about money. As we've seen with society in general, once you go down that road the inevitable end is most resources concentrated in very few hands

I wouldn't, but there's millions of people across the world who aren't tuning in to the Premier League to watch Burnley play West Ham. The money all clubs pay out relies on the television money, without it everyone's screwed. Clubs will survive and there would still be a league, but the 'Premier League' would be done for.

you say that like its a bad thing

They also want the Premier League reduced to 16 teams from 20 to lower the amount of game.

 

[arch stanton]

It's basically the Champions League but hardly anybody new ever gets in

once you are in that top flight of it, you would have to have a sustained period (years and years) of sub par performances to go out of this structure completely, its like Italian politics.

After the pathetic and cowardly sanctions that the scab clubs received from uefa and the PL, this was never ever going away and was always coming back, even without the courts ruling supporting them.

Footballs dead anyway, I’ve been falling out of love with it for a long time with var, the corrupt league and PGMOL, mercenary players warming stupid wages, FFP/P&S rubbish - this is just another kick to the corpse.

If the Saudis get involved, which I’m sure they are behind most of this anyway, then welcome to LivSoccer.

Bored of it already.

Exactly, for me the beginning of the end for football was Italia 90 which made football trendy, led to Sky and the FA, along with clubs like Everton setting up the Premier League and ruining the meritocracy that we'd had ever since the football league was established.

 

[arch stanton]

The 6 teams will go to the Premier League and tell them they want to join this new European competition, but because there are a few more games they want the Premier League reduced to 18 clubs and the League Cup to be abolished. That way they can play in both leagues.

and less income for those non Super-duper league clubs, much more for the super duper clubs. Sporting level playing field is gone.

 

[jonnyboy316]

If the sly 6 feck off, the “other 14” are going to get a severely reduced yearly payment when Sky/TNT/Amazon deastically reduce their payment. What a mess this could be.

Like I said yesterday we will be one of the first casualties

Good.

 

[hallamblue]

5 teams to be relegated then. It gets better

So the sly 6 have their cake and eat it, and everyone else gets their crumbs. Sounds about right.

And we know those 5 teams will be from Scotland, Belgium The Netherlands etc, and will be replaced by more cannon fodder from the same leagues.

Feel sorry for var and the referees wouldn't know who too favour.
20 bullies in a room would be funny to watch the chaos.
