Very unlikely. They are so far away from everything, I truly believe they thought the fans would be behind them and them them for this brilliant idea. 100%I wonder if the bankers, lawyers, investors, owners and co. foresaw the amount of political backlash. UEFA's rage was predictable but to have EU leaders put out a united front (for now) and turn it into a political battle of national identities seems unexpected to me. Will this subside in a couple of weeks?
I remember Bayer Leverkusen getting to a CL final in Scotland. I can see why Spurs have been included but if the ESL was brought in during the early 2000s should Bayer be a founding member. It's more about how much money Spurs have been allowed to make actually due to EPL broadcasting success.Did you win the final?
every now and again a miracle happens but that’s all it was haha
It’s Only Spurs
They must have struggled to find a bit that wasn't too openly against the SLTweet

They're probably the closest to get out of it, that's why. Chelsea might be next. We will be last, and we are the most disgraceful of the lot right now. We have to do something about that ownership now if they will not understand the concept of sports in the UK and in Europe in general.That City tweet is wild, what the hell
I have no idea. I am not an American. I can imagine a situation where the owners keep tanking, then not getting a good draft pick, over and over until fans stop coming. Then they'll up sticks and move the "franchise" to a new city, saddling that new city with debts they'd accrue building a new fangled stadium.I never heard about that. And Americans love it?
Neither do other teams that have joined? So what if they don’t need to? Anyone that turns it down has my respect more than an opportunity to take a swipe and say wahh wahh what about this what about that.He's just saying that they don't need to.
Of course. They don't want to be subjected to FFP style rules. They're only involved because they don't want to be left out of a competition between the top clubs.Good to see *checks account* Man City seem to be against this too.

Not at all, likely just trying to deflect any bad PR until everything settles down and they know what the outcome is going to be.Amazon ruling themselves out of covering the ESL?
Yeah I think it's a fantasy. Zlatan wouldn't speak that way.That Zalatan quote - I can't find a source anywhere and it has a bunch of formatting/spelling mistakes.
Its only important to get consumer opinion if the CEO and other board members deem it important.Is that true even where by getting consumer opinion for example would be important in the decision making process?
It was a joke mate. Lighten up.No but they have still refused to join, but still take a swipe anyway, makes you feel funny, I’ll ignore them from now on
I am sure this kind of 'realistic thinking' would see us have a 1800s world today if everyone was cynical and realistic at all times.Because people have to get realistic, expelling the big six from the PL is not the answer, making players or managers speak out against their employers in public is not the answer. The argument will get polarised instead of trying to come to a solution.
Someone from the Comm team is getting fired soonHuh? Aren't City part of the ESL
What did he say of substance?Fair play to Guardiola. The only player or manager so far to actually come out with something of substance and something real
I'm assuming Zlatan's quotes are fake since I can't find any source for them.
Absolutely but that's a different story. The Padres and Rays owners have been accused of that if I'm not mistaken.Not sure if baseball still pay 'Luxury Tax', but going back it was well known that owners of smaller teams just pocketed it and did not use it to strengthen their own teams.
Don't let us down dave. You been fecking great for us. Speak outTweet

For the love of God sack it off.
Hahaha WTF Low center of GravityHe did something similar to a child playing rugby
isnt zlatan out of contract at the end of the season?I hope our players react a bit like Zlatan. That they clearly announce that they will play the European Championships and the World Cup for their national team. That they can find another team to play for if things do not change.
I was light at the start but there’s been repeated one line humour attempts that were not funny and I finally bit, my bad.It was a joke mate. Lighten up.
Yes but they're hoping everyone will forget that, just like they do with their owners horrific humans rights violations.Huh? Aren't City part of the ESL
I don't think that particular scenario has ever happened yet to my knowledge. Probably the most egregious example of tanking was what the Philadelphia Sixers of the NBA did a few years ago called "The Process" - essentially this was about a multiyear plan to trade every decent player on the roster and be as atrocious as humanly possible for an entire ~3 season period.I have no idea. I am not an American. I can imagine a situation where the owners keep tanking, then not getting a good draft pick, over and over until fans stop coming. Then they'll up sticks and move the "franchise" to a new city, saddling that new city with debts they'd accrue building a new fangled stadium.
But they are allowed to? And that would therefore highlight the biggest issue here, that they didn't think it was important to.Its only important to get consumer opinion if the CEO and other board members deem it important.
But everyone seems to be jumping in without actually thinking of what would happen if what they are suggesting did happen.I am sure this kind of 'realistic thinking' would see us have a 1800s world today if everyone was cynical and realistic at all times.
Sometimes to get major change, you need to take the plunge.
This whole situation is dire but if we come out of it with some genuine football reform, it'd be great.
It is coming from a number of places that they weren't in the vanguard of this and signed up out of cowardice.Based on what one random tweet?
Didn't want to be a part of it yet they're signed up as founding members of the SL and have the statement on their official sites. Do me a favour mate, they're as bad as the rest.
Arguably worse as they've only been invited due to massive financial doping and now they want to protect their own position at the top of football by making sure that isn't replicated by other clubs.
Nah, that is actually Joel Glazer. Fecker got himself cloned as an Asian kid.He did something similar to a child playing rugby
Imagine that, the "plastics" realising they fecked up and back down while the "old guard" United and Liverpool cling on for the cash.
If even so, a huge global player distancing itself from the project is only a good thing. Any brand knows that the 'super' league is already toxic and don't want their brands being contaminated by associationHollow words from big corp.

"It is not a sport where the relation between effort and success does not exist"What did he say of substance?
Indeed. My bad.Quoted wrong post? I’m very against the Super League, just wanting to understand who will actually like it, someone has to for them to make money.
