[Poor language removed] me, some of the lame justification going on in here.
Two clubs that are owned by American billionaires propose fundamental changes to a cash rich sport they've become involved in relatively recently. During a pandemic.
These changes hand future power to a "Big Six" clubs, some of whom are only members of that elite group because of an accident of timing. At the start of the PL, if you were asked to name the 6 biggest clubs in England, how many of you would have suggested City or Chelsea? Big clubs my arse.
But along come an oligarch, a middle eastern oil state, and a few US capitalists, and now they're setting themselves up as the arbiters of the future of the entire sport. And some people are actually [Poor language removed] buying it.
As soon as I saw Coco's endorsement, I knew there was no good in this. That [Poor language removed] clown couldn't even organise ticket allocations competently.
I don't even think a European Super League is the end game. I think a more global one is. Why play a game at a 60K seat Anfield, in a relatively poor Northern city in the UK, when you could hawk the rights for Liverpool v Madrid to any super sized stadium that wanted to pay a nice fat fee for the privilege? Why lumber yourself with your own stadium at all? Who needs the overhead? Who needs the "noise" you have to deal with from the pesky locals [cheeky bastards sometimes have the gall to protest over prices!]?
Just pimp the franchises out around stadiums globally, and collect the PPV fees.
Oh, and the irony of the PL getting all hurt and offended over a blatant attempt at a money driven power grab. [Poor language removed] me.
Modern football fans really do deserve modern football owners.
