I think so too. You can see that a lot of planning has gone into this and they've got their ducks in order. The windfall is huge for the clubs, UEFA can't offer them anything like this as the clubs involved simply don't all deserve a bigger piece of the pie based on their recent sporting achievements. We're big in name and fanbase etc, but we've been in the football wilderness for a long time now. Same for Arsenal and Spurs and many other foreign clubs involved. The SL is the only way the 'historically' big clubs get a pay out like this.

Would be looking for a new employer if he did
Well done! Hopefully more will follow.
I dunno. Some of these clubs have been hit hard by Covid, so timing actually makes sense from that perspective.
Stop talking like the people at the helm of those football clubs are inevitable machines, and not actual people that can be held accountable for their actions. Criticizing our instances for not protecting football is not mutually exclusive with attributing the offense to the actual perpetrators.
Right now, UEFA is on the right side of history. We can worry about improving it later.
love Herrera but he plays for PSG ffs
They should deduct them some points though, make this shit interesting at least.
My dream is for Arsenal and Spurs to be giving it the big one about the ESL whilst they're away at Rotherham in the Championship.
Brilliant. I’d love a few United players to come out with this
I see Prada, err I mean our official website, is telling everyone it's all going to be wonderful. It's going to be as if you are married to a supermodel and owned both Amazon and Facebook while being smarter than Albert Einstein
The ESL will be boring as bat shite after 12 months. How many times do you want to watch Liverpool v AC Milan? And no relegation? No consequences for losing, plenty of money being made for the owners and the fans will be screwed over no doubt with ticket prices - that is if they're not playing games in Boston or Dubai or God knows where.
I hope the ESL clubs are expelled from their domestic leagues and I look forward to watching new clubs flourish and become dominant.

There is a problem with America: its all about $€£; they lost their way a long time ago.
The European super league is just one example but in current times an even more important example is making profit out of Covid 19 vaccines; the entire world needs these vaccines to fight the pandemic and eventually win but given the prices of the American vaccines, only rich countries can afford them meaning the virus remains at large; more variants and therefore having to vaccinate again and again.
Pfizer is set to earn over $15 billion from the vaccine this year alone.
Isn't it interesting enough already?
Yeah and same for Utd as well
I'm disappointed, hurt and ashamed of our club over this. If its the Glazers as the 'source' then I won't be going back to OT, turning their back on the supporters who helped build this magnificent, historic club back up after the Munich Air disaster out of sheer love for their club and labelling them as 'legacy fans', basically a thing of the past, whilst whoring the club out to youngsters who are obsessing over TikTok videos, absolutely appalling.
Im against this more than for it, i really need to see all the details but feck any City or PSG player who tried to play the moral high ground card over this.
He says whilst playing for sportswashing PSG. How very ironic...
A bit rich coming from PSG player that destroyed all the competition in the French league.
It is JP Morgan who is going to finance it initially but it is not surprising. Credit rates are almost down to zero and these clubs can all pay back their debts. The biggest income is tv rights but I will be skeptical to offer huge money for this. First, the public reaction is as bad as it gets. Second, with the repetition of the same games, it will lose its aura. Yes, the big games in CL are watched by more people simply because most of the teams are eliminated and people have nothing else to watch anyway. If these 20 teams play with each other every week, they will compete each other for audiance.
Sevilla, who has been one of the best run clubs for the last 15 years is not in, but Arsenal is included. Give me a break.
This is basically the same as Skynet hitting back against their creators when they became self aware
feck yes. Obviously it makes it easier for him to say this because he's at PSG but he's also got a bone to pick with Ed Scumwood because of how he left the club.
European Cartel League
Aa far as reports go he never wanted to leave United. They were far too late in offering a new contract.
Why do you presume to know how thousands of people's minds work? Why do you have so much confidence that people are just confused and being led like sheep by Sky ect?
Do you actually believe that there is not at least a couple of people in the 95% of the public who are talking about this and are very annoyed that might know the game better than you and understand the implications of a move like this?
I am not calling you an arrogant person but that stance is very arrogant.
This point is being largely ignored by most people. The club’s names are being tainted for trying to leave into a closed leagues. It isn’t the clubs ffs, it’s the owners. Had UEFA and the FA put something in place to stop rich owners buying the clubs this never would have happened. Instead they let it happen, reaped the rewards from it, and now they are being booted out of the gravy train have thrown their own toys out the pram.
Glazers are not responsible for that trend though.Young people do not consume sports the way we do.
And it seems they enjoy it less, which in the long-term can be damaging.
The issue I have is breaking the Champions League, which has done a good job at attracting new interest to football, and replacing it with a competition ran by club owners themselves.
Our chairman is the vice chairman and then to really rub salt in we also have that toy story puppet as the vice president

Of course we will and it will definitely happen.
James Ducker: United failed to share European Super League plans at fan forum days before announcement
Well, some vague resemblance of it. Kicking out the plastic clubs would be a start. Maybe it'd give the remaining clubs more power to address these other issues? But yeah, it's pretty much dead already with VAR etc.

Amazed that Newcastle haven't piped up that they are a big club.
The problem is that it is not merit based
The players are surely having some sort of meeting in training this morning.
Rashford especially will not go against the People.
The players should all knock on Woodward's door together and tell him and the Glazers to get to feck.
What are the Glazers gonna do? Transfer list them all??
For once player power might be used for something good.

We've got to do everything to get the Glazers out, what can we do?
Utd are muddying their name even further with this tweet
Wish we could
it will severely degrade the premier league as a competition. They are talking an extra £300m for the ‘big 6’ a season from the SL. You will see a predictable 6 team mini league at the top of the prem because of the extra spending power. You will see 6 man cities not 1 when 1 is bad enough.
cnutish move. Basically a big feck you to the fans
