European Super League

[Heinzesight]

We are out.

 

[FreakyJim]

Arsenal even apologising. Ours is very dry. I bet the leeches are fuming.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Jesus that’s cringeworthy.

Ours isn't much better?

 

[FootyGirl88]

Let’s get the Glazers out now!!!

 

[CallyRed]

Always pull out.

Always.

Chairman Daniel Levy said: “We regret the anxiety and upset caused by the ESL proposal. We felt it was important that our club participated in the development of a possible new structure that sought to better ensure financial fair play and financial sustainability whilst delivering significantly increased support for the wider football pyramid.

“We believe that we should never stand still and that the sport should constantly review competitions and governance to ensure the game we all love continues to evolve and excite fans around the world.

“We should like to thank all those supporters who presented their considered opinions.”

seems to me like the spanish and italian clubs really wanted this to happen

I wonder why

Make no mistake, the UK teams are in the same pot. They folded due to pressure from various sides. They would definitely want that to happen and plotted it for years.

it would be pretty funny if all those clubs that pulled out are in for a prolonged legal battle and pay compensations on top of it.

Yet never put a tweet out to say we would be joining the Super League, or a message on any social media platform. Put it on the website so no one could comment on it, on the platforms they love to harp on about their growth on.

feck me

 

[Ajr]

At least Arsenal apologised unlike Utd ffs

 

[Buchan]

Good on Arsenal for apologising. It’s an empty gesture and no doubt their leeches really mean it, but it’s a nice inclusion all the same.

 

[Xeno]

About 99.9% of them chose to stay quiet.

Consider their position. It's easy for football fans to shout our disapproval on the internet as our words have no concequences. That's not the case for the players.

Some players came out.

[Mainoldo]

Good. Now get these greedy owners out of the Premier League.

Arsenal:

 

[El Zoido]

At least Arsenal apologised unlike Utd ffs

They’ll all end up apologising.

 

[hobbers]

Say what you like about old BoJo, but I really think it's telling when United name check the UK government, in a 3 line announcement, as a key reason for leaving the SL.

Fan anger, fine. Pundits, who cares. UEFA in the courts? No bother. I think the governmental push back was something they all heavily underestimated.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ours isn't much better?

There’s no credit due to any of these cnuts but the Arsenal “we’re all part of a family together” after trying to shit on the game of football from a great height is definitely hardcore cringe.

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

Hardly a heart felt statement but at least we’re out of this debacle. Must be chaos within the club at the moment. Hope the players can focus on football again now.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Guys, give it up. Nobody is going to pay money to watch Inter Milan play AC Milan 50 times a year inside the same bloody stadium.

It'd be like groundhog day

 

[bsCallout]

Ole doesnt have the gravitas behind him that has been earnt by Klopp and Guardiola by winning stuff. Thats probably why. Wants to keep his job (and i want him to keep it as well). Whereas liverpool and city wouldnt dare sack klopp and guardiola respectively.

Is it not to do with the fact that they had press conferences/interviews whereas Ole hasn't?

 

[sincher]

What a joke.

 

[Dudu]

Now the Glazers..

Classic Boris move. Ever the populist. Saw a chance to grift and seized it with both hands.

 

[el3mel]

Get the feck in.

Good fecking riddance, this crap Super League idea.

Football is saved !!

 

[predator]

And it's over. The people have spoken. Historic day. Can't wait for normal football to resume.

Come on now. I have had plenty of arguments about sacking Ole BUT this is NOT the time.

Also, the whole way we got rid of the Snake Wooward smells of an Ole operation, similar to Pogba.

 

[jojojo]

You know what's really shite with all this in the immediate context, as a Utd fan.

I was so proud of how the club had behaved and handled the COVID situation. I was really enjoying the development of the team, despite being frustrated the past window. I was really excited for the end of the season - both the league run-in and Europa.

Even if we pull out in the next couple of days, the super league nonsense will leave such a sour taste. And completely undermine the 1 trophy we've got a good chance of winning.

Yep, we conducted ourselves well during the covid disaster, and I think the club has actually built up a lot of good will with its fans, particularly the local ones, during the lockdowns. Then they pull this stuff.

My only hope now is that the Glazers finally admit they're in the wrong business and leave. Still need new laws to stop the next bunch of creeps from getting other great ideas.

Also we need to re-hire Jose Mourinho coys

 

[VorZakone]

Imagine how proud they must have been to announce the Super League on Sunday and it all crashed.

 

[BootsyCollins]

Well, thats it.

Now we want to hear you apologize.

This x1000. They must apologize!

 

[Majima]

My 12 year old son and his pals would play FIFA all day, every day, if they could. Every single one of them thought this initiative was a terrible idea. They’ve grown up obsessed with the Champion’s League and didn’t want it scrapped.

Respect to your son. Him and his friends are genuine football fans. The Champions Leagues iconic, it shows how out of touch these owners all are.

 

[macheda14]

Through all of this, why did they not just start this as a pre-season or post-season tournament and try to grow it from there? Idiots imo, of course there would be a massive backlash if they suddenly announced it like they did

That would take years and Madrid needed the cash NOW.
