You don’t think the pyramid structure plays a significant part in cultivating the talent that you want to see?
The players and their agents will probably embrace him at helping them make more money than ever. That's the sad reality. Players could easily argue the move is a breach of contract as it would change the working conditions as per their contract. Instead of suing for that none of them will say anything and happily count their money. I don't think the players, who see themselves as employees, have the same passion as the fans on nearly any subject never mind one they stand to make even more money from.
I just find it bizarre there hasn’t been a huge media blitz supporting the merits. Maybe they’re just trying to get through this week - if it hasn’t ended by the weekend I think it goes ahead.

with players it's probably worker's rights

All guilty as each other. This narrative going around that City and Chelsea are the good guys that never wanted a ESL is horse shit.

Don't understand that take. There's not much he can do or say at this point. He stated his dislike pretty clearly and can't openly shit on the owners now, can he? He doesn't hold the cards and he (and us) have yet how the whole shit-show is going to unfold. There's still ample time for him and others jump the ship.
Or the smaller teams don't have squads as large/good as the bigger clubs and were looking to keep things equal rather than wanting to put health at risk.
It won’t be kicking them out, it will be those teams choosing to join another organisation imo. One that is not regulated by fifa or uefa. A team can’t be in two leagues, it makes no sense
This exactly what I would want to. In what world spending 400m in one window is considered sustainable.
I reckon that’s bollocks because it’s exactly what Sky wants and they’re trying to make it happen.
I'm surprised we haven't seen more backlash from the Italians.

The American owned clubs are in it for good I think. And Levy is a greedy, sneaky twat at the best of times.
True. If the other clubs start pulling out, let’s say a City (which doesn’t really need to be in this outside of wanting to be part of the club), and this collapses, I feel like United will, deservedly so, look so bad.
They're delusional. They probably didn't expect this negative response to it and are trying to backtrack
But the top clubs players play more games and the extra subs would have been held back in case of injury late in games.
All the other 14 EPL clubs should have released coordinated statements at the same time written the same and hopefully the shit 6 will be hit severely with sanctions when they meet today
The worlds smallest violin.
They're the whipping boys so the big clubs know they won't finish bottom and be embarrassed.
I'm sure if you privately asked players playing for the 6 clubs right now if they agreed with ESL, 99% of them would say no.
Matt Law basically earns his money from Roman. He would try his level best to turn everything in favour of Chelsea.
I read here (Germany) yesterday that both Bayern and Dortmund were in fact in favour.
If you are making a league of the 15 richest clubs in Europe, Spurs and Arsenal are in it.
My kid is ten and lives football, will happily sit and watch full united Games against Burnley or whoever, watches football reels from theb80’s 90’s with me, loves the competiveness and plays football himself. The difference to when I was young is he watches far more live games and not just highlights like I had to wait for and far more clued up on foreign players due to YouTube and PlayStation fifa. The excuse that it’s being done because young people don’t like it is bollocks imo.
He's a Chelsea fan disguised as a journalist.
Glad that he also highlights the fact that agents and players salaries are a part of the problem.
