career ending
Absolutely nothing yet, people think we're being booted out of the league tomorrow and we're folding as a club for some reason? Fecking daftYeah I'd second that. What impact(s) does that have?

Well. If I was as rich as Pep and Klopp are, absolutely.Would you do the same in their position? Offered the chance to play in a super league with the best teams, crazy money on offer. Life changing for yourself personally and professionally? All based on Sky sports pushing a narrative and the FA making a threat they can't follow through with?
The richest clubs in the world aren’t happy with the money they’re currently getting.That’s the risk but it’d have to explode to even get near what you pay for Sky! Prime is what £7.99 a month and if you do simple stuff (vitality health link up)you can basically get it free already.
I've been wondering this. I've got a fair few questions I've not been able to really get any answer or at least discussion on.Would you do the same in their position?

I swear Agnelli was the biggest proponent of the Swiss model for the CL. So all the time he was campaigning for CL reform he was actually in talks about the Super League..
Agree. I would say that 90% of fans from these clubs don't want this and actually want Premier League and UEFA to do some drastic moves, even if it means from tommorow.I'm glad looking on here, twitter etc. the number of people for it is tiny, means nothing, but it's good that we're mostly all united.
If the Champions League/European Cup continues, they wouldn't be able to.So will clubs try to still claim their previous uefa european cup victories?
If liverpool win the super league will they say 7 times? Etc
Look bud, don’t paint with a broad brush. I’m an American and I don’t like it either.You're American aren't you?
Competition needs underdogs hence why Arsenal and Spurs also were invitedThe announcement has been delayed due to nobody being sure how Tottenham were invited.
Sadly, true.It won't be long before your Amazon games are moved to PPV
Yeah, PSG and Bayern on their moral high ground.Kudos to Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and PSG for refusing to the invite (even if only just for now).
You’ll care when you start realising how vapid, meaningless and cynical this new league is.I was against it but actually, what should I care about as a consumer? Some random club like Burnley who might struggle or my own pocket?
Im torn the more I think of it, for the sake of argument, imagine Amazon get exclusive rights and all games are shown on prime. I’m immediately saving a shed load of money and so I’d say, as selfish as it is, I don’t care about Burnley I care about me not being fleeced by BT and Sky.
I’ll be right next to you mateNot one fan will be allowed entrance on ESL match days because me and tens of thousands of fans like me will be blocking all entrances.
ps not believing for one second that this ESL will come to pass, but for these cnuts to use our club like this is a fcuking disgrace.

Does it? Why? The format supports the domestic calendar, just like the current Champions League does. Do teams in the Champions League just not have the motivation to win their domestic league?Well. If I was as rich as Pep and Klopp are, absolutely.
This isn't simply going to be a tournament. The guaranteed slot format means that motivation in domestic leagues goes out the window.
you will though. I’m certain all clubs will play in their domestic leagues. I’m not saying it’s right, but we are creatures of habit, and we will continue to watch.Capitalism strikes again
Will not watch a single match of this Americanized bullshit. Football is dead. Feckers killed the one thing I enjoyed.
Cnuts
Sepp Blatter will be turning in his grave right now
Brave new world innit?Yeah, PSG and Bayern on their moral high ground.
Great yesCan we have a RIP Manchester United thread?
You can't forget the format though.Forget all the NBA format nonsense for a second. Do you not want to watch the best teams in the world play each other? Regardless of how the format is?
Part of the incentive for clubs to focus on the league is placement that qualifies clubs for the Champions League. Being guaranteed a place in the contest removes that consideration. The focus will fall on the contest that awards the most money - The Super League
[/QUOT
I actually still don't see it killing the spirit of domestic competitions. I just don't think that would happen, irrespective of this super league.
No we won’t / goodbye Glazer Unitedyou will though. I’m certain all clubs will play in their domestic leagues. I’m not saying it’s right, but we are creatures of habit, and we will continue to watch.
Apparently Bayern are in but want to let the shitshow pass before joining, Dortmund weren't invited, its Leipzig (purely on footballing history like our goodselves at City) and Porto.Kudos to Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and PSG for refusing to the invite (even if only just for now).
It’s designed by Americans to cater for the Chinese.This thread is a live example of why we can't have nice things. We've not even got all the details yet and there's mass outrage. Why don't we just wait and see how it all unfolds?
And when it happens every year? What becomes special then?I don't think alienating the rest of the smaller clubs is a good thing and the greed is ridiculous but....
Every year when it comes to champions league I'd hear people saying how good it would be if x team actually played x team whilst the teams are in their prime form but don't end up playing each other at all.
It would be refreshing to see the big guns actually battle it out each season to see who truly was the best out of a strong bunch but then when it comes to the actual winning of the cup it might be not that special because cup upsets by smaller teams are the best experience imo.
Bit like Leicester winning the prem.
90%Agree. I would say that 90% of fans from these clubs don't want this and actually want Premier League and UEFA to do some drastic moves, even if it means from tommorow.
Alright, we need to stop with this bollocks.I had us between 11 and 16 (so lower midtable given Bayern and PSG aren't currently in) and I doubt the club will now have any motivation to improve on that with no risk of losing CL money for not being in the top 4. I honestly won't be watching anyway if this happens but you seem excited, I guess this will largely succeed or fail on if there are enough people like you and fans who don't like it in theory but will watch anyway.
These clubs AND 5 clubs will be invited (id imagine it would be the one best performing team in each league). So if say Leicester said yes then West Ham would play in the CL. The race for top 4 would mean nothing.The CL hasn’t gone has it? These clubs just won’t be in it.
