Can see OT being sold off. The first thing they will do though is get naming rights. Get as much money in as possible.

Wouldn’t trust any information coming from Sky. They’re going to try and put pressure on because it’s massively in their interest.Hmmm, the batshit ramblings of Perez seem to have spooked some of them
Completely agree. Even if it's the owners fault I'll lose tons of respect for anyone in football who doesn't speak up against this league. Silence gives consent.
No the owners and CEO's are, bet the board members, managers, players aren't. Get it right.
Yeah so Sky talking bollocks to try and spook them
These crooks aren't in touch with the fans at all.
I think they could do that. There are enough well supported clubs in the Championship.
Fan loyalties aside, you had to feel for Klopp being the first one in front of the cameras after the announcement.
He must be absolutely fuming with the owners.
Sky have been talking bollocks for 20 years
Perez was literally sitting there rambling about anything that would drop into his head, regarding this ESL.Hmmm, the batshit ramblings of Perez seem to have spooked some of them
I don’t think many people care how many spin off leagues they try to create unless it’s competitive with meaning at the end of the season what’s the point in it?
It doesn't have to be black or white in the sense that I don't think that they will invite any team that brings little revenue in the first place but I definitely think that who gets offered a share will depend on who brings the most revenue through a combination of market pool and entertainment value. And the 5 invitees are auditioning for those shares.

Benefit the game as a whole!
Do they really think anyone is ever getting to swallow that?
The plans are a complete mess, just like this whole sorry launch. This reads like someone at United/Liverpool (presumed ring leaders and drivers of this league) trying desperately to keep the other clubs in line. If City/Chelsea go, the whole thing collapses very quickly in my opinion.
The worst part of this whole thing is that we are probably only 2nd to Madrid in being the driving force behind this, I'd much rather be one of the 14 teams left behind rebuilding the Premier league.
Have to hope for some contractual point that voids contracts etc meaning its not feasible to take off.

This makes you wonder the real intentions of building this stadium, did they know the SP was coming and they were preparing for it, knowing the Billions to be made would wipe their debt?
Meanwhile Old Trafford Crumbles, I guess the Glaziers just want to pocket every last penny.
Excellent. This is about to come crashing down.
A cabal of mismanaged Spanish clubs on the brink of financial ruin and filthy rich foreign owners seeking to further line their own pockets.
My point (perhaps clumsily put) was that there are other clubs with a lot of history. Villa and Nottingham Forrest have won the European Cup (something Arsenal haven't done), for example. Everton have won league titles.
Are Arsenal, on current form (and over the last few years) more deserving that other PL clubs who have a history too?
A name immediately springs to mind.
I for one am ready to adopt a new English club
Hard to say, it would obviously worth less, but never 10%. The rights are currently around £1.5bn per year... you'd probably be looking at half I think, as the EPL brand alone would still be a thing and a big deal.
Looking locally...
Sky pay £200m per year for Prem rights.
They pay roughly £120m per year for Championship rights.
So it certainly won't be 10% locally at least.
What they feck did they do?
Face saving bullshit. All as bad as each other. Nobody is pulling out no matter what PR spin says

That's why Journalist like Matt Should not be allowed. They are basically mouthpiece of Club.
Not us 'legacy fans'.
all the utd players very quiet on twitter, none of them posted since the 18th. Ed probably told them not to
They’re really scared now though and it shows. Feck them. They created this. Time they had a taste of their own medicine.
I'd love to see the Government find a way to ban the English clubs from joining and this circus was just Barcalona and Madrid playing Juve every season and a bunch of other games no one gives a shit about.
Yeah I know. Pinch of salt and all that the couple of clubs getting nervous info isn't only coming from Sky.
Seems super boring to me. I actually really like the current CL format and don't really see much need for a change but I'm open to adjustments, I just can't believe there are posters on here happy with the ESL.

Could it have been harder, condemning the proposal... yes.
Could he have said nothing at all... yes.
I'll take this as a good start, especially given it's clearly the biggest club in world football who are not part of the 12.
And yes, revised CL proposals may not be ideal but they're not a closed super league either so right now, if it's a choice between "so so" and "end of my sport as I know it and end of my association with United", I'll take the former.
Dont try and act like your support of this garbage is because you want to see Sky get their just desserts. You only care about Ronaldo and Messi and watching highlight reels instead of actual football, its OK to admit that.
Any evidence to back that up?
It probably isn’t but the British media are unanimously against is so I don’t believe them really.
Id say COVID has had more of an influence over all this, Levy had created a lot in the new stadium as a way to earn extra income that really so far hasn't been really used.

Serie A Assembly: "With this much extra money we can't possibly compete with Inter, Milan and Juventus", to which Agnelli replied with: "I see no change, we've been winning for 80 years".
United are quite about this on their twitter. Last I checked neither us or City have posted anything to social media just our club websites.
