Got to love how many people around social media I'm seeing vow to be done with their club if this happens.
Yeah right!
Yeah right!
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07

With top football men like Joel Glazer and Stan Kroenke as Vice-Chairmen I'm confident this venture has been launched with the game's best interest at heart. For our own franchise club I foresee only great things.
What?! Is this actually for real?
Raiola and co. like this.
So the domestic leagues are going to turn into glorified league cups basically.
Wow this is really happening isn't it?
Probably one of the historic days for the wrong reasons in football history!

Maybe AC12 can help.
Yeah this will utterly destroy the game as we know it.
So apparently the English clubs would need approval by the PL to join the Super League.
That's what all that power grab thing was about, a couple of months back, remember all that?
The big clubs wanted to be able to have voting power on issues like this, so they could join the Super League, still remain in the PL and not be bound by UEFA, FFP (not that that was doing anything, but still).

I think of it more like a post nuclear waste exposure mutation - like the three eyed fish in The Simpsons.
RB Leipzig could and Red Bull sounds like the type of company interested in this. They'd feel like a second tier entry though.
Oh well, and I hoped we would be safe for today. It's really happening folks.
You just know they're going to have commercial "drink breaks" in each half, too.
The day the earth stood stupid.
You just drew 1-1 with Fulham you c*nts.

Milan, Arsenal, Athletico. Tin fecking pot clubs. Good grief.
As opposed to being run by despots from the middle-east? No thanks!
Joel Glazer with a lovely quote. That's put my mind at ease and answered all my scepticism.
Hahahaha football is fecked.
Hahahaha football is fecked.
That is probably what they want as it is not just the clubs but they are interested because of the size of the countries and their economy...
No fans in the stadium and no protests, how convenient.
Have FIFA said anything?
Because your being rewarded for being a supposedly big club, and not merit of where you actually are. It's a closed shop no relegation. It's a joke. Look where Arsenal are this year, yet there in it and Leicester aren't.

Nice one lads. It's been great being on the CAF but I think that statement about the Euro Super League means I'm no longer a United fan. So probably won't be posting much more now. Good luck to the boys for the rest of the season and for the future. I just can't go along with this anymore.
3.5 billion doesn't matter. It needs to be banned on a national level.
As suspected as well as being a money grab the big clubs will use this Super League as an opportunity to keep City and the other Oil clubs spending in check. Something that Uefa couldn't do, no wonder City and Chelsea were reluctant and PSG said no. If this goes ahead it will also kill any prospect of another City or PSG happening any time soon. SA won't be buying Newcastle if there's little hope of them ever getting into the Super League.
feck me...think of our war chest this summer
I liked those. I've got a weak bladder. 45 minutes can be a long time...

What about the players if they don't want to play? They have mitigating circumstances of not wanting to be banned by FIFA.
