Is it a coincidence that the 2 clubs affected by 50 plus 1 collapsed right away?

European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Exactly, this runs a lot deeper than just this.
I have a horrible feeling United are going to be the last club to pull out.
The shame.
feck you Perez!
Well done City and Chelsea
Well done City and Chelsea
This is also my fear! Now would be the perfect time for investigations and reform! Sadly, I agree with your outcome.
It was a fake project
I voted against this stupid league. But, the fecking hypocrisy of FIFA and UEFA, Where are they when Real and Barcelona gets 80% of the TV rights in Spain? where were they when the German and Italian leagues has been the same champion for 10 fecking years. I hope this league does not go through but I wish this storm shook these corrupted organisations a bit.
Suddenly this has gone from terrible to hilarious.
What an absolute botch-job of a coup.
What an absolute botch-job of a coup.
It’s just going to be us, Juve, and Real playing each other 15 times a season isn’t it?
It's quite bizarre to see people react so positively to this latest Chelsea nonsense and take every bit of news about this literally, getting emotional and not thinking for two seconds.
This Super League was extremely unlikely to happen, at least in the coming two years. Which was blatantly obvious given how amateurish the news was brought into the world, how unprepared everyone involved is at the moment, other than a cheap website there was no infrastructure in place at all. Obviously a club like Chelsea knows this so they can now act like they're taking the moral highground after joining the plan first to put pressure on UEFA - they're a scummy club who owe their success to the ridiculous spending of a shady Russian billionaire. And distgustingly people on here are celebrating this and lapping it up like a bunch of sheep.
The whole Super League is more of a threat and a negotiation position than anything by the big clubs involved. Throw out a generic press release and an amateurish website in the week UEFA is introducing their new CL set-up, create a meda shit storm.
In the meanwhile the UEFA is now being forced to create a lot more funds for the new CL, there's talks of finding investment parters to pump 6-7 billion into the new Champions League.

"UEFA is in discussions with Centricus Asset Management over a 6 billion-euro ($7.2 billion) financing package to overhaul its flagship soccer tournament and stop plans for a new breakaway Super League, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Switzerland-based sporting body is working with Centricus on a plan to fund a new-look UEFA Champions League tournament, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information."

Crazy that so much of the game has been handed to the super-rich and tweaked to suit their interests and yet they still want more. Shows what kind of people we've let into the game.
The backlash against this needs to become part of a massive course-correction for football. Those who have benefitted from the rampant commodification of the game (from players and pundits who benefit financially to fans of rich clubs who have seen their clubs prosper) need to keep up pressure once the Super League has been put to bed. The last thing we should be doing is allowing big clubs to hold the game hostage like this to get even more preferential treatment than they already get.

Manchester United and Real Madrid are the big ringleaders in this.
We'll be the last to pull out.
We'll be left with the disgrace.

Just like I said.
Hahaha feck you Perez you slimy piece of shit.
How are you going to sell your "Super League" without any of the current top 5 teams in Europe based on performances

I don’t think we can pull out tbh.
I hope all 12 teams get docked points so that none are in the champions league next year
This looks like it's dying now. The threat of being kicked out of the CL is starting to take effect.
Problem is, United and Real will probably stick with this until the dying end. Hopefully the loss of a huge cash injection will cause the Glazers to sell up, but i'm pretty sure they'll still continue to leech of us for a long time to come

Meltdown today again? I want to save the world speach?
Not in this format by closing the door but with right changes I think this would be more interesting than UCL.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Glazers/Woodward wont mind City and Chelsea (and whoever else) pulling out because they'll see it as them getting a bigger share of the total money.
I predicted that City would be the first club to leave, I was wrong and shocked it was Chelsea. Might do the lottery tomorrow
He'll announce the end of it all but dress it up with positive negotiations with UEFA.
My bet is he'll claim its paused.
Could well be something to it.

I also think this.
Good. I hope all of football recognises our owners as the drivers in this and respond accordingly.
To be honest, good, hopefully it'll pile on pressure to get the Glazers out of our club for good.
City is actually the key, these big clubs as well as JP Morgan can’t compete with the royal family.
Eat shit perez
Chelsea, city withdrawing. Barcelona not confirmed?
Tin hat territory: Chelsea and City only signed up so that they could then get the good publicity for backing out.
Woodward and Perez are probably arguing over who gets to be Han Solo.
Wow. Go get em Wolves.

...or that's our pre-seasons sorted for years to come and nobody will play us.
Cant make a deal with the devil and then try to back out.
I mean sure. You can say Glazers' man Utd are a disgrace. And yes, those shit stains have to be sent to a laundry. It's just really sad that of all the marketing oriented approach to football and rubbish management of the club, there was a new low to be achieved for a club that I've followed for over 20 yrs. That shit hurts
The ESL simply isn't viable without these teams on board.
It feels wrong cheering on City, Barcelona and Chelsea.
If Liverpool pull out before United, it'll reflect really poorly on us.

Thought I'd never say this but well done Chelsea, Man City! Now the tricky part is to get those greedy American owners to pull out.
Expect compromise measures for the CL.
