and how much would they charge?
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Let's tag the OP to keep it going @esmufc07I asked for that a few thousand posts ago. Quoting to raise visibility
All right, I guess I'll just join the rest of you in the notion that football is now dead.
My thoughts too, I can absolutely see this, unless they plan to have their own digital platform
Accept that.
But we must remember that the club is owned by Manchester United plc which is in turn owned by the Glazier family. But as a plc, it is listed on the NY stock exchange with its shares being traded.
And as all United fans know, they used the value of the football club to leverage debt in order to buy the club.
Oh well it's definitely going ahead then: just heard Boris Johnson has said he will do all he can to stop it...
That's true.
Even then it's wierd. If you join it, you cannot afforded to be booted out since you will be blacklisted by UEFA/FIFA for life.
I would never join it if I weren't certain of a lifetime membership.
this is shit
Yeah, asking questions about the SL in the SL thread is almost as derailing as you asking for people to be banned constantly...
I wish some of the players like Marcus came out and said something about it!
An absolute joke. We all knew that the UEFA and FIFA are greedy and something had to be done to stop them, but clearly this is the wrong way to do it.

Well perez literally controls the football media so this to be expected.
that still annoys me - even more than this later attempt at legal piracy
Slightly different view, as a football fan first. Feck it, let them do it. Kick them out of the domestic leagues, keep the Champions League for those who remain and put in place some real FFP rules to stop the plastic clubs from happening again. The quality won't be the same, but I'd enjoy watching Leicester and West Ham battle it out for the title and Wolves vs Ajax in the Champions League.
We can get our game back, it'll just be at the sacrifice of these 12 clubs. Crossy and 'global audience' can watch this Super League crap, we'll watch some real football again.

Seriously though. Everyone is in uproar about this and you're trying to discuss whether we should only register Fred for the SL games as he typically plays better in the CL. You're massively out of touch.
Elvis doesn't talk to me, I'd do a show with Olly or Mr Pidge or Oates.
Elvis, I hope you have a few days free
Will destroy the quality of the premier league. Plus how would it even work lets say the top 3 in the EPL will be some of the Superleague clubs, who gets the champions league places?
The worst thing about this is that we will just lose every week to new opposition
I'm just over the outrage. It looks like it's happening so I'd like to discuss how its going to happen and what it's going to look like but it doesn't seem like we're ready for that yet so we can have this discussion at a later date when everyone has calmed down I guess
Mouthpiece of Perez
No one is really saying it's dead but it will feel like it to me if United were thrown out of the PL
The main issue is the super league is a closed shop. No relegation - it's an american sports model and is the antithesis of what football is about as a sport.
The money is brought up because the break away clubs are willing to sacrific the sport and all it's history and tradition for a bit more money.
Don't the 3 Spanish clus have to run this past their "socios"? Can the boards and the respective presidents just decide that they're going to join a breakway competition? Seems like a pretty major thing to decide without going past their socios.
I may be in the minority here, but the games been gone for sometime already, so this step doesn't not surprise me one bit.
Bring it on, just make sure that we get SuperVAR and SuperRefs on board as well.
Current one are shite.

yeh it won't be easy beating Barca if we only start playing in the second half
Are people ignoring the fact that UEFA reforming the competition anyway? It's barely going to be different than the super league anyway.
plus we play a weakened team in the EPL to benefit us in a crunch came in the superleague, then what does that mean for clubs still in the EPL who are going for champions league places? Is it fair, is it ethical? From a sporting sense is it awful
I reckon Amazon. They'll have the data from their trial of prem games.
Really?
Why so.
It seems daft to even discuss since it's all up in the air. Besides, Fred won't be here if this happens as we'll be rich us feck and will have a ridiculous team.
Would take a lot of the excitement around the fight for a top four place away.
Exactly. It's arbitrary in terms of era. Now Spurs are among the valuable clubs, who's to say that is still in 50 years time. But because of this guaranteed qualification they have secured a structural advantage over the likes of Leicester and Everton.
People still didn't realized how well planned and backed the new ESL is. We are talking about major companies already offering billions advanced for it to happen. I hope it's a major bluff, though, because if it's not, it can tottaly become true.
400 teams playing every four minutes! I know there would be less games but boy it was more exciting when it was a straight knockout competition between teams who had won their domestic league!
Manchester United shares are up 6% in the pre-market.
With the owners and CEO's having exposed their hands and coming out as basically traitors; Could it be that they will see no way to come back into the fold of UEFA/see's that their future profit projections aren't coming to life - that they decide to sell?
Wishful thinking I know, but I just don't see a way forward for them if this all blows up in their faces

The current PL, EL & CL competitions have just lost all their interest now. Who cares about competing for trophies that are about to be made redundant?
