I think that cricket needed it though. There was a closed club and even until T20 the game was run in many ways as it had been in the 19th century. Even with the latest World Cup "reforms" the ICC is moving in the opposite direction to FIFA and the football World Cup. Plus there is already money in football and cricket needs to find new ways to fund the domestic and first class games. County teams generally run at a deficit.Kinda reminds me of Kery Pecker in Cricket, opposed by everyone but ultimately changed cricket forever. I guess Change is inevitable, even in Football!
You just don't get itIt's a CL replacement in a different format. Read the statements and the Athletic article
They are ready to go forward, I don't think that will matter.I can't believe this is actually happening. I think it'll all come down to which side the FAs fall to. If they impose bans from PL/La Liga/Serie A for participating in the ESL, I can't see the clubs going forward. This is a disgusting, concentrated effort to battle UEFA for more money. The like of Perez and Glazer being in charge tells you all that you need to know.
Well said - I’m packing in Manchester United FC. I liked this side - Bruno and Pogba clicking, Cavani. Shaw, Harry, Henderson. Greenwood getting back his form. What a shame. Fyck off GlazersWhat a fecking mess.
We finally look like we've gotten our act together and we're on our way back to being a good team again and we go and do this.
Facing being fecking relegated so a load of Billionaires can get even richer.
It's sickening.
It is, but when us as the consumer suffer greatly, I can't take much pleasure out of it.The UEFA and FIFA meltdown is delicious, they had it coming for years.
Players are not paid by their country are they?Tweet

No, I really do. People are terrified of change for some reason. The game has been crying out for a shakeup, this is going to be fantastic to watchYou just don't get it

Don't think soPlayers are not paid by their country are they?
I'm all for sticking it to 'the man', be they middle-eastern bastards, Sky shitheads or corrupt UEFA suits who have done so much to ruin the game and take it away from the fans. The trouble is we are the fecking man; there's no way whatever the Glazers, Kroenke and the rest are proposing is good for football, I'm just not buying it.As opposed to being run by despots from the middle-east? No thanks!
Sounds like we're doing it then. Be interesting to see the proper format they come up with, cause obviously they're gonna need more games than what they suggested when it's the only football these teams are playing.Tweet

I’m sure they’ll find another German club to give all their players tooNo Dortmund... you love to see it
Oh, the old "throw in some idpol you don't actually give a shit about to use as a shield against wider criticism" strategy.United's official statement revealed something massive about the women's game:
Women's football will undergo massive changes, too, by the looks of things.
Over reaction, no?Heartbreaking day.
The day I walk away from United and never look back. I'm ashamed, embarrassed and disgusted.
Exactly my sentiments.Well goodbye then united.
Has been a largely happy 45 years, but sincerely, go feck yourself. You money grabbing greedy cnut.
not for each club! Will clearly be shared amongst the founding members. Still in the region of 300m, but not 3.5bn each club!!Wonder what will happen to Uniteds €3.5b payment. Will be fascinating to see how much of that goes to "support our football infrastructure investment".
Hint - it will be the square root of feck all.
Not only did the Glazers manage to somehow buy our club without spending a penny, they've now managed to sell it for 3.5 billion while maintaining ownership of it. If I didn't hate them with every ounce of my being I would be applauding the brass fecking balls on these cnuts.
