Theyre crying cause they weren't invited into the super leagueThis is probably the right time for Celtic and Rangers to join the Prem
European Super League

We'll be playing at least 10 games against English opposition, which makes the competition a bit shit.
There was a lot of nonsense tweets being posted earlier. I don't think anything of the sort has been confirmed.
All I can find is that they 'could' ban them from all competitions.
Where was this?
Because globally they are one of the top 10/15 clubs in the world and have a massive fanbase in different continents. This is absolutely nothing to do with the current quality of the team, it's to do with who will watch the league - people in Asia and America will lap this up - especially younger fans. Teams like Arsenal and Spurs will then go on to make huge signings with the money involved in this and that will eventually even out the talent in the ESL. I think it's an absolute disaster by the way , not defending it at all just saying the reasoning behind why they have gone with some of the teams.
"This penalty shootout is brought to you by Bud Light, a clean crisp larger with a fast finish. Now let's see if Bruno Fernandes also has a fast finish as he steps up to take this penalty".
Will it? Life goes on outside of what the elite clubs do just fine currently. There may be adjustments and what have you but there are still competitions to try and qualify for and general all round progress to be aimed for, as is now for so many clubs.
How exactly does this hurt Sheffield United? What if this proposal would mean that if it were active last season, that they would have made the Champions League. Maybe a less prestigious tournament than it was previously but still saw an increase in revenue etc. What if it ended up meaning they were able to reinvest and survive relegation?
Does this not mean that the other European competitions will see new teams? Why does this shut down football from top to bottom of it isn't already?
I couldn't find any sources and I need to sleep, so I agree with you. This forum is usually great with vetting tweets, so I assumed most of the stuff was legit but I guess we've had some duds.
In any case, they're talking about suspencions and cancellations already.
What a shitshow.
Also true. Who the feck wants to play Chelsea 4 times in a season!? We did that the other year and it was hardly great shakes.
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. It's all a very transparent money grab.
One of them might end up with this year's Premier League trophy, so there could be a silver lining.Spare a thought for Leicester or West Ham
You've alluded to it yourself, the league won't be able to offer enough to make it worth it. And back then, the clubs didn't have another big shiny
weekly competition with massive amounts of money involved to focus on instead.
Paid shills? You can't be serious.
I think the problem here is that winning the domestic league for these clubs will genuinely become unimportant. Regardless of whether you start well or not winning the Super League will be more important, in terms of prestige and in terms of money.
You will have noticed (I think, because I certainly have) that getting knocked out of the FA Cup still hurts, but not as much as it used to. Nowadays, I would genuinely rather finish top 4 than win the FA Cup. I think the Premier League will start to feel like that when the Super League begins, it just won't mean as much.
Who cares how good they were 15+ years ago. People dont watch the name or the history. They watch the team and Arsenal's current team isn't very good. You know they could solve that problem with some kind of qualification, like earning more points than their peers over a season. That way the elite european competition has the elite teams in it. Or i guess we could just assume Arsenal will be one of the 15 best teams in europe for the rest of existence becasue they're called arsenal
Well in that case let's measure the consumer metrics for every club and award places based on how well the PR and Marketing departments did.
Just a gentle reminder, the MLS has just started up again, and Chicharito scored twice in a match where Higuain also was excellent. Let's all watch that instead.
What makes you think they cant do that? Being able to play in EUFA and FIFA competitions is not some universal right for clubs. They have rules and if clubs choose to not follow them they can always be ejected. Just like clubs can be kicked out of the football league if they go into administration.
What the hell are you on about?
This is a huge feck you to all the other clubs, telling them they're beneath these 15 founding clubs.
The audacity to form an "exclusive" group of clubs goes against the nature of football's unpredictability where a team can grow into a top team organically but then also have a couple of dark years where they're not among the big boys.
You do realize that is a copypasta right? The tweets?
The issue is who owns the fundamental rights to administrate the game's format and rules
Football died when the biggest clubs in the world all decided Spurs belonged in a super league.
To be fair, the fake Diesel didn't do to bad for himself.
The extra money surely will just inflate the feck out of the market?
Even with the populous revolting against it? Politicians will run their platforms on this....
Maybe?
You don't know that. The twelve clubs may just think the £400 million per year is worth the sanctions. Never underestimate the human capacity for greed.
Cant believe something this big is happening in my lifetime. I wasnt even born when the Premier league started. I was a few months late.
Nothing i assume they are still part of the super league.
I imagine though that within 5 years the money generated by the founding super league teams will be such that and their squads so stacked that even their 2nd teams will come top 6 in the PL without much effort.
Still..... Good news about the chocolate oranges.
The implications are enormous and if I was a ET lawyer or contract Lawyer, I'd be planning my retirement on the fees alone.
Why though? Winning the league is still winning the league. We want to keep Liverpool from getting 20. We wanna get the 21st. Need to break City's Hegemony. The only thing it would change is that 6 of the clubs would not care about the top 4 battle and isn't that what our fans make fun of us for these days? Caring about the top 4 trophy? West Ham and Leicester still want the top 4.
Alright mate, I think the cancellation/suspension stuff was crap aswell. There was feck all vetting of tweets happening earlier unfortunately.
If the various governments actually decided to do something about it, there is absolutely nothing these clubs could do to stop them.
Right, listen yeah, there used to be this club yeah and they started out as Newton heath and there was this thing called the treble...Come 600+ Guests, have a seat.
Well, at least now we can all collectively open our eyes and see how stupid blindly supporting a corporation is.
Yep, top players wages will at least double and you'll need 200m to buy Fred.
This
The political capital in the UK is unique Vs anywhere in America.
You could see MP's losing seats over this let alone what could happen if fans united and organised.
Wonder how long it'll take to have kick off times to suit Asian TV/viewing audience?
Or to play some games in other countries... The Man United Globetrotters.
Or sell United as a franchise and relocate them.
The longer this goes on, the more I think up stupid things. Bed

Can i watch the grass grow instead as that would be more exciting?
