Is this being shown live anywhere?

Get the feeling this won't happen. Too much change and risk of alienating a huge percentage of your fanbase.
The list of clubs doesn’t even excite me from just a purely entertainment standpoint.
Bayern not going along
Yep. The day the Glazers took over.
What the hell is Spurs doing in that list? 
which clubs would then?
The PR reaction has killed this. Sad because it was such a great idea.
Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Savage and Francis Benali give their thoughts (9 minute video)

Burnley, Fulham and West Brom
Joel Glazer. makes me nauseous that he owns the club I love.
Any breakaway from FIFA/UEFA is a relief to see. I'd rather see a club-owned/club-run league. If it gets worse we (fans) just abandon it, that's how the market works.
Here's to hoping UEFA/FIFA crash and burn. Throw in FA too. This will be great.

They're happy to continue whipping their respective one team domestic leagues
Macronne statement
France, the Elysée communiqué continues, "will support all the steps" taken by the French League, UEFA and FIFA "to protect the integrity of federal, national and European competitions".

Only this European Super League is a long running plan, not something cooked up overnight.
In 2018 Germany’s Der Spiegel reported on a European Super League after uncovering documents from Football Leaks outlining the competition.
And there has been much discussion behind the scenes ever since.
Thanks.
So what's happening in 6 minutes? Armageddon? Ragnarok? Can I see it live?
No, they were offered the same deal than every other founders, as did Bayern, Schalke, Dortmund, Lyon and iirc Marseille. The fact that all french and german clubs haven't been mentioned today is strange.
Macron.
It’s almost like the establishment don’t like the idea.
They’re salivating at a free run at the Champions League for the next 1000 years.
The Superleague is a replacement for the Champions League set in a league format in which case the founding members are permanent members.
This is the rich clubs buying a permanent spot in the new European Superleague.
No fans want this. No leagues want this. This will end the European competitions as we know them. The ONLY people that want this are the respective club owners.
The FA, Uefa, Boris and Co can feck off with their condemnation, as if they're not bent as feck themselves.
On the Super League....it is already tarnished by having Spurs there.

Leave my football alone!
Yes, you’re just a nothing club that wins nothing.
Judging by Schalke's season you think they'd bite their hand off to be part of it
All about the money, which it has been for a while now I guess. Frankly I've began to just not care. Owners with zero interest in the club outside of filling their own pockets. 22 millionaires kicking a ball and feeling sorry for themselves when things don't go their way. Why should I sympathize, care for or support this? Would probably be the final nail in the coffin for my interest in the game.
Don't think the backlash will matter. They would have seen it coming a mile away anyway.
It just looks like a hollow list to me? If you're going to do it, you need the best from France, Germany, Portugal too. It's not Super enough. Also needs Burnley.
No one is kicking anyone out. They can all scare the clubs like that but it just won't stand in the court. The PL money and CL money of TV rights was signed for these clubs. Imagine the number of lawsuits from the broadcasters (let alone the clubs being banned actually) . Let's say, it just won't happen.
Now having a place, that's a different discussion altogether. Looks like you are the one who is assuming here. I would rather wait for more details on how this is planned actually.
Let's not overreact.
The idea of a european super league has been around for ever. It's a power play I think, or I hope.
I'm not completely against a super league but it would have to have some form of qualification relegation/promotion the closed shop idea is just monopolising the market and an absolute no go,if it did happen than I think it would be the end for me, I wouldn't watch it.

Don't know where I read it, but the proposed payouts to the clubs were quite different from each other
What exactly do you disagree with? You believe fans SHOULDN’T make their own mind up and should just swallow the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sky Sports violin-playing sob story act? As if they care?
Honestly. Every club that signed this, dock them 40 points. Do something that damages them. I don't even care at this point.
Relegate them. Us included.

Fact is, if plans benefited each individual countries football association, there'd be none of this talk of disgrace, farcical etc. The narrative would be feck uefa because, feck uefa.
None the club's, the boards or the associations are thinking of fans, it's their own respective interests and that's it.

This is your assumption. Show me where exactly did they mention its a replacement for CL.
Don't get too emotionally invested in this guys. It's just posturing between greedy organisations wanting bigger pie. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show, it won't happen.
I thought they "refused". There are probably some good reasons. France and Germany may not have the "biggest" clubs, though it's debatable for Bayern, but they are the strongest countries economically. I think it will be interesting.
