I just watched that entire video and it makes them the opposite of hypocrites. As the video explains, Bayern would benefit from a super league more than nearly anyone. Maybe the most. Simply due to how much more money they would make from broadcasting compared to other teams from other leagues.Bayern is the biggest hypocrite here:
Playing the hero card, what a load of bollocks.
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, those 2 are able to do that kind of thing.There’s no returning to the status quo. We’re just getting started though with a reshuffle of football though.
UEFA and the PL cannot afford to ban these teams and their players, just look at the BDO and PDC in darts to see what happens when the top players walk away. The PL is nothing without the biggest clubs and players now. That’s doubly true for the CL. If they lose these 12 clubs, their competitions become devalued and enter an inevitable decline. These clubs are going to get more power one way or another, either as part of UEFA or by setting up a rival organisation.
The only way the 12 clubs lose now is if the players revolt. In Ferguson’s time, we know someone like Gary Neville would organise, but I have no idea who would do similar now.
Organising something like this is more than an Instagram post. Rashford has shown a desire to use his platform for the betterment of society, but this is a bit different.Bruno. Cause no one at the other clubs gonna do it.

Independent bodies that sold their soul for a pot of Qatari gold. Do me a favour with the hypocrisy lecture.Wow, just wow.
These things need to be run by independent bodies but your solution is to give all the power to the big capitalists only because you're lucky enough to support one of the 'chosen' clubs. Pathetic hypocrisy.
Imagine United doing a NWO style entrance to Jimi Hendrix's voodoo childCL v Super League - Wednesday Night Wars
It's crazy that some people just completely overlook this fundamental aspect.The Premier League is at the top of a pyramid which means clubs can get relegated and promoted. Teams like Leicester can come from the Championship, establish themselves and then win the league. The super league is a closed club where none of that is ever possible. It's wretched.
We'll see.Tweet

Of course the island will have a tax rate of 0.001%.Eventually the 15 teams will buy their own island and call it Super League Island™ they’ll all feck off from their respective countries and move there

Presume they mean Sir Matt taking United into Europe despite the league trying to stop us. How dare they think that.What does that even mean?
I didn't suggest that he should shut up, you seemingly didn't read nor care about the posts you responded too. I said that he can't target the owners specifically, not that he should shut up.And explained in the first response.
Ceferin has a job, and in his position, shutting up right now when the spotlight is on him, does more damage to him. He is expected by both sides to talk, and talk big even if it's crazy talk. It's for the ESL side's benefits that no harm is done to him, and better yet to get him join the gang once his term expires. The more dramatic he is right now, the more impact he can bring if he indeed joins ESL.
Sorry, and your point is what exactly?An interesting observation is that a lot of the most vociferous opposition to the proposals are, unsurprisingly, coming from those affiliated to the organisations with a vested interest in keeping the lucrative (for them) status quo - Sky, BT, the Premier League and UEFA. And of course they’re currently the ones setting the narrative for all this, which the masses are feeding off.

I might be wrong but have the clubs not signed contracts to join the 'super' league?As much as I'd like to see it happen, I can't see how UEFA or the PL could punish the clubs involved right away. They have only announced an intention, and haven't technically broken any laws or rules w/ respect to their actions.
That’s what I was just thinking.I wonder if the clubs in question anticipated level of response from fans. It’s almost unanimously negative.
Absolute rubbish. They are going after the international 'fans' with this.I love the shakedown, I love that it's changing.
ESL isn't all that bad, just have to tweak the relegation rules and we're set.
Busby and United were very unpopular with the Football League for wanting to enter European competitions. Some would argue the Munich Air Disaster was inadvertently caused by the Football League’s hard stance is being unwilling to flex the schedule, which meant United travelling by air in tight windows to fulfil domestic and European fixtures.What does that even mean?
What are you talking about? The whole conversation on football throughout the last 30 years is about how much money the players earn and how corrupt uefa and fifa are. This is worse than anything we've seen don't put out fake narratives.
Yes I am aware of it being in the news, but the average football fan was not going to do anything about it and most people were happy to accept it and continue watching football like nothing happened.2014:

People moaning about money in the game means diddly squat as these same people still watched football regardless. I mentioned FIFA and UEFA as allowing football to get to this point in the first place is partly to do with them, and they have always been about money first and foremost but football fans were happy to turn a blind eye and continue watching regardless.Well, if that's not what your post says, then what the feck is the point about going on about UEFA and FIFA? It's not they who have just announced the ESL. Also, if you haven't noticed anyone complaining about money ruining the game before now, which particularly large and dense sand dune have you spent the last two decades buried under?
The players will be up in arms if they’re banned from the Euros.We'll see.
This season is an easy one as it's almost over and there isn't much interest left in the remaining clubs. Let's see how the CL fares next year without any of the big teams in it. He'll soon backtrack, probably announcing some big statement fine that was pre-agreed by the clubs beforehand.

It means Woodward is a Brave Hero for doing this.What does that even mean?
Very radical steps and actions need to be taken. This just perfectly shows the broken globalist system we live in. Whoever supports anything like this is an absolutely disgusting human being.Tweet

Bigger market isn't it. Feck the local fans, target America and Asia, chase the money, its what its all about. We'll have special kick off times to suit foreign markets next.Absolute rubbish. They are going after the international 'fans' with this.

Of course!Of course the island will have a tax rate of 0.001%.
But that's not the case? There will be some spots open for new joiners. Details are not available yet but it's not a completely closed shop.The Premier League is at the top of a pyramid which means clubs can get relegated and promoted. Teams like Leicester can come from the Championship, establish themselves and then win the league. The super league is a closed club where none of that is ever possible. It's wretched.
