This.
Youll also just get the top sides having even more money than everyone else. They'd probably just stock quality players, and play a B team in the league anyway.
Here we go
What about the long term? What about the football pyramid where the Premier League's massive financial power trickles down (even in a small way) all the way to the smallest teams in the farthest parts of the country?
Without that structure football falls apart completely. No more constant conveyor belt of players where cream rises to the top and in some way is balanced out to provide some competition.
Yes this will provide massive financial gains to the clubs involved but it is short sighted and immensely damaging to the entire game.
I didn't expect an annoucement. The aftermath is going to be fun.
A petro-nation state owned club "backed into a corner " 
Maybe not but they just have to think it will to act.
Haha brilliant, that's the death of UEFA and the CL then. Your turn FA, gonna kick us out now??
Shit, it's actually a done dealio.
ooh, an announcement!
30’points deduction for everyone but City. 80 points deduction for city for being oiled shitty
Joel Glazer: "The Super League will open a new chapter for European football, ensuring world-class competition and facilities, and increased financial support for the wider football pyramid"

Lovely lovely Glazers
No, not necessarily. The NHL for example has a draft age that precedes college, and the vast majority of its draftees are out of the Canadian Major Junior Leagues or Europe.
I agree an entry draft on the NA model seems a feature that would be hard for a SL to adopt. But you could imagine for example a system where you have a draft to distribute the rights to players in non-SL clubs, but with the possibility to sign young players below a certain age for development in your own system. Combined with putting player movement between SL clubs on trade basis rather than for cash.
Happy new year 
Hallelujah.

Get the popcorn. Who are the additional three? Bayern, Ajax, PSG?
Time for football to remove Joel Glazer.
did I miss it?
Hope we see an ‘America First caucus’ u-turn in a couple of days.
But this idiotic idea seems far further along than that idiotic idea was.

Ooof
I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of those that were pro being owned by the Saudi Royal Family but don't like us playing in a Super League instead of the CL
Sure but I don't believe they think it will. I think they think posturing now will play well and no one will care that they don't go through with it.
Ah feck, there we go with the official announcement. Sickening. I thought there may have been a delay of a few days while they took stock of the reaction on social media/regular media, but nah here there are as bold as ever. This sucks.
Daft c*nts.
Any guesses on who the next three automatic spots will go to?
Are they hoping PSG and Bayern get twitchy and want to jump aboard now the heavy lifting is done?
What absolute, fecking bullshit. The Glazers, obviously, not your comment.
PSG, Bayern and Dortmund if I'm not mistaken.
Terrible idea and the further erosion of football
Wouldn't be shocked to see this document drawn up using crayons.
Dock 40 points off each club and fine them a shit ton of cash.
feck Joel Glazer and anyone that supports that zombie.
Released at 23:15 on a Sunday night
Wankers
15 clubs, that's 28 games home and away? Or will it just be 14 games?
Either way, that's nicer than the normal 6 CL games and 6 Europa league games.

This is the next evolution of the game.
Embrace it, people.
Embrace it, people.
100% that or a late invite for Burnley.
OK, so Sky did know about their golden goose being shot. How interesting.
