Meh, I don't see this happening with just three Spanish teams, 6 English ones (Spurs and Arsenal, ha), and three Italian ones. That's not very "Super" at all.
Actually, Sky claim... "More than a dozen teams from England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are in negotiations about becoming founder members of the competition."

Have we even had any official statement from the breakaway clubs?
Might be a bit premature with all the hate.

Well, they won't because they need the top teams.
Eurmain?
or Sexit?

Most of these clubs have large match going supports. Has there been much talk about organised collective action amongst support groups? To be honest I’d be disgusted if my club wanted to create a closed shop that goes against a founding meritocratic principle of the sport.
Yup, I'm only awake for the drama. The UEFA statement was deliciously whiny.
Bring on the club statement already!
Where do you think they are fitting these games in? If a side made the final of both that's 42 games, that's unmanageable.
Amended for you. Don't forget the Manchester franchises being relocated to London

UEFA sells the CL license to broadcasters. UEFA simply awards clubs a fixed pool for participation.
The FA owns and sells the TV rights and distributes it according to the contract.
The clubs don't own the TV deals.

I dont know. I would wait for more details on that.
9:30 "announcement" (flop)
This only shows that the ownership structures in the domestic game have to change. Bundesliga sides are opposed to the Euro superleague plans because the German model means commercial investors cannot have more than a 49% stake in clubs, so fans hold a majority of their own voting rights.

It won't break literally at 9.30 lads
hope so though, i wanna read my book

There's as much chance that Macron is against it because it'll have Muslim players featuring every week than because he cares about football
Right then what they said?
Just imagine some of the washed up retired players licking their lips knowing the likes of Rio, Keane, Neville, Carragher, Redknapp will be out of a job and this breakaway league will need 'neutral' pundits for its new broadcasting channel, which certainly won't be sky or BT.
Everyone employed by BT and skysports must be bricking it.

Announce sancho
Announce Super League!
Well, if reports from UEFA and domestic leagues are true, it would be a replacement for the CL because they won't be allowed to play in it.
Stay classy mate. We are discussing a euro super League that is going to destroy football as we know it and all you can do is be obnoxious.
Bid day today
Nothing on Discovery Channel yet
What no Irish teams?
Mate, you're the one who's actually assuming the UEFA's announcement about this is just to scare these clubs and nothing else. This is your claim and interpretation about what they did say.
Announce it for feck sake.
Serie A sent Juventus down a division at one time. They can do it again. And so should the FA.
Anyone checked Chilevision yet?
So you think there is a plan by which a team could end up playing 40 midweek games plus 2 finals as well as a 38 game league season and cup competitions?
Get to the money!
nothing on qvc
Torres signs.
So was it like the millennium bug?
Guarantee the statement will be a massive disappointment.
