This is being backed by Fifa isnt it?
European Super League

There’s no global appeal PL (Of which I’m part of), but there’s still 80 odd other clubs all with their own history and followings that would beg to differ. I might even adopt a new club in English football if the top six clear out.
yeah and the UEFA execs are more corrupt and just as greedy as the clubs involved.
So we’d have to play the English clubs four times a year, presuming we’ll stay in the premier league.
Ridiculous idea that seeks to maintain the power in the very few. Take this season as an example, teams like Liverpool & Arsenal who have no chance of winning the title could just chill for half the PL season as their games are meaningless & they’d still get into this competition. What’s the point of competing in the PL if you know half way through, you’re not going to win the title?!
Hopefully FIFA bans the clubs involved & tells players it cannot represent national teams if they’re playing for such clubs.

A strong, strong statement has been made
Good luck selling the next round of PL TV rights without those 6 clubs.
It's more if you can't beat them join them. Not like city and Chelsea aren't included in this.
Not going to happen now.
Being paid 500k a week or play occasionally for your country.

Why on earth would you be for this?
If FIFA and UEFA can ban ESL players from representing their nations at their tournaments then that’s where their true power lies in all this.
Full statement by UEFA, FA, PL, RFEF, La Liga, FIGC and Lega Serie A
Is it? Or I’m I reading it wrong.
Domestic football is finished if/when this goes ahead.
Looks like its not.
The number of games is staggering, there's no hope for domestic leagues, people. Just not feasible to have PL and Superleague. One has to go.
38 matchdays for Premier League
23 for the Superleague finalists
add
FA Cup
League Cup
Donald Duck Cup
and Charity Shield
then
Nations League
Qualifiers for Euro or World Cup
Apparently, a year has like 52 weeks.

That's a proper response. I have no doubt the clubs involved have more than sufficient legal advice which will have assured them they can't be banned. Alternatively, UEFA have fallen for a massive WUM that even @Hectic would be proud of.
It's quite embarrassing that we're part of this.
This has clearly been the agenda of the Glazers, Kronke and Henry/Werner for years.
The one ray of light is that if this plan can be beaten, they might feck off.

The irony is in them trying to catch up with oil money any way they can
Because United have essentially been subsidizing all the other PL clubs for decades due to the unfair EPL money split.
So these clubs just want monopol on euro league money? That's not what football is about imo.
I mean, the drafting of the statement is more fitting of a triggered forum poster rather than a footballing institution.
This smacks of concentrating power and money even moreso that the CL but it's not that different than the current direction of travel.
The CL is nowadays dominated by a few big clubs from the Western part of Europe because their economies are strong and 'businessmen' have used this to increase the revenue of these big clubs which has then concentrated money, power and importantly player talent in their hands.
Now the the top clubs seem to be entering the end game where they want to dictate the terms. While I don't think this Super League will happen, they are using it as a very strong negoating tool.
Finally, the two midtable London clubs being there is the biggest joke.

True, it genuinely reads like the responses to one of Glaston's posts.
Why would you support the breakup of the PL?Good luck selling the next round of PL TV rights without those 6 clubs.
Death knell of football as we knew (and loved) it if this goes ahead. Without being too dramatic, have to say I'm really, really disappointed and saddened if United come out in support of it.
Why do you feel that impacts you as a fan and why do you feel the EL Superleague would be better?
The UEFA and domestic leagues does not have anything to threaten with.
What will PL be without the 6 big clubs? A glorified championship at best.
What would La Liga be without Real, Barca and Athletico. Not even better than the Portuguese league.
What would Serie A be without Milan, Inter and Juventus?
Banning players from Euros? Who is gonna watch second 11's compete in Euros?
They have no choice but to bend over.

This is the worst thing about this, losing the CL tune
United will more than likely be one of the main drivers of this
It's supposed to replace the CL, not replace the PL.
It's those who are against this ESL calling for the PL to be broken up.
Talking about it now Neville is pissed
No doubt a further subscription to watch it as well!
Nope.
Because without it, United would essentially be like Bayern strolling to the league 9 times out of 10. I can see why this would appeal to some (not me personally) - the same people who clock games on the easiest setting, or save before every game on FM in case they lose.
So let’s have a boring league like La Liga then? United make enough money without taking more from the competition. The club has enough advantages to most of the league.
