British FC
(but with foreigners)You certainly can if the participating club is in breach of contact. The TV license deals are paid out annually. If it doesnt happpen, it simply doesn't get paid, or the clubs are forced to pay back the fee, like they were in 2020 during Covid.
If the product isn't able to be delivered, the value of the contract will simply be lowered.
where the feck did 9:30pm come from?
Announce sancho

Oh yeah definitely.
Lets have a quick look at the english clubs involved in this.
Utd: american owners, who just want to take a healthy dividend from the club every year and would sell if someone offered them a few billion for the club.
Arsenal: american owner, who would sell if he was offered a few billion for the club.
Liverpool: american owners who would sell if offered a few billion for the club.
Spurs: levy, who would sell if offered a few billion for the club. Its ready made pacakge for sale, new stadium, new training ground.
Chelsea: no idea if Abramovich would sell the club.
City: no idea what the owners would do.
So for at least 4 of the clubs involved, the owners would stand to make a ridiculous profit from their clubs being in this breakaway super league. Who cares about fans, tradition, history of the clubs. All that matters is selling it at the right time for the right price i.e. breakaway super league after a few seasons.
He lied about going on The Chase too!
He's speaking to those "within the industry" and "those in the game" right now...
So many posts on here saying the CL is shite and boring anyways...
Couldn't that just be recency bias due to the fact United don't play a major role in the competition for quite some time now? I can observe it myself, that I am not really interested in CL football anymore as soon as United is out of it/isn't even in it to begin with.
But from a factual point of view, the CL is as exciting as it ever was, maybe even more so. Over the last few years alone, you had fecking Spurs in a Final, Liverpool winning it, Ajax in the Semis etc. That's pretty diverse if you ask me, far from "it's always the same 4 clubs". Sure, not so long ago you had the Real triad but that was also exciting imo, as no one ever managed to defend the CL Title prior to that, let alone win it three times on the trot.
And United don't play a major role due to no ones fault but our own, make no mistake. It's not City's or Chelsea's or oil money's fault that we had no claim to make in England, let alone Europe, for the better part of a decade. The same goes for Liverpool, as well as for Arsenal. Now our collective owners, 'murican investors the lot, want a guaranteed seat at the big boys' table on financial grounds alone. It has nothing to do with the quality of the CL at all, they just want to be in Europe's elite and profit from it, without having to go through the arduous task of actually doing anything on the pitch to deserve it.

It has been cancelled, too much pressure now
Ffs. I was fully against it but since Boris Johnson is also against it then I am now fully in support of it. Bring on the Super League
There’s no announcement tonight is there? Not a single official announcement about one too
WAITING ON FINISHING OF MADRIDS GAME - 10 MINS
ECA is not the founding members of the ESL, guys. There's no statement yet from The12
Post of the year.
People say they will replace existing CL.
Truth - no one has said anything about. That's just a lazy assumption.
People says, it will destroy the soul of football.
Truth - how exactly? No club is leaving the domestic leagues, no clubs is devaluing the domestic leagues and no one has said anything about it either.
What I understand is that,, Everything will continue to work the same way except for certain clubs who would play an additional tournament in some parts of the world and that has been approved by FIFA.
Is there any ruling that says teams can't just join or make a new competition? Which is essentially all this is.
Seems to me like they leaked something to dip their toe in the waters of public opinion.
A real shame if this becomes a reality. A shame for football, and a tragedy for us as a club. Traditions, culture and history will be erased. Ashamed that we're part of this.
The meaning of UNITED obviously only applies to ourselves and around the owners' financial incentives, and not with the football family/pyramid!

Pretty inconclusive then
Think that toe has been mangled.
As if!Yes. They just showed it on Sky Sports. Premier league sides need permission to enter competitions (other than the usual ones).
Be surprised if this actually goes through, too much public pressure
The point i was making is that this is more than political posturing ... this has been in the melting pot for years
Quite possibly. It just shows how out of touch they if true.
"3 hours ago
According to Sky Sports, there could be an official announcement as early as 9:30pm BST this evening. We will keep you up to date with all the latest news and reaction.."
Yep like usual. Although you'd think by now they'd know the majority HATE the idea! It's never a positive reaction to this super league talk.
It's all a ploy to get more money from Uefa and have the CL exactly how they want it anyway. Like always.
