It's got his pudgy finger prints all over it, hasn't it?With one defector, the "left behind" teams in the PL would count for 75% of the votes in Premier League. Which Im told is significant.
Why is it so difficult for our players when others have?
We're not selling or cancelling anyone's contract because they speak out. They might get a bollocking but so fecking what.
He didn’t mean that, he was just chatting to a mate wasn’t he @cyberman ? Obviously nothing will change and football is going to be bigger and more exciting than ever!!
They can choose not to. As I told they are not revolutionaries. This expectations is unrealistic and unfair.
When your new ESL chair advocates for trickle down economics you know you fecked up and this whole thing isn't about saving football but about saving face.
We were eventually getting here. Uefa has introduced the ffp to ensure clubs adhere to some financial rules and even that became a mockery. There's just too much money in football and an excessive amount of idiots mismanaging this.
It's quite unfortunate; I don't mind a breakaway competition I think uefa has been a joke for 2 decades but the way this was set up is probably a joke. And the longer they try and defend it the worse it becomes.
Kudos to SKY. They loved a bit of oil money, Russian oligarch money and glaser money helped giving birth to this monstrosity and they're now advocating for the fans.
Football is dead. It was dead when we started handing out millions per week to a footballer. Its more about betting and the showmanship these days.

I read you need 14 member votes in the EPL to make a decision which they already have
I’m not saying all of them are lying. You saw last night when Neville and Carragher were talking about everyone coming together to fight it and unity. None of the media want it and they all want to stop it so I wouldn’t immediately rush to believe what they come out with.
Not as drastic as this, mate. And it’s being wilfully ignorant to suggest this is even remotely similar to what’s happened in years past.
From City’s perspective I can only imagine, as someone pointed out, it’s a FOMO thing. Possibly also to gain exposure, of course they are much bigger since the takeover but no doubt there are plenty of people in the world (my mum being one of them up until I had to educate her
) who still have only heard of one team from ManchesterI'd love it if Ole used the word feck in his presser.
Thus why I said started.
Yep. Doubt Perez has the power to change the rules of world football to be honest. 12 are struggling to get the job done as we stand.
If we moved our stadium and no longer based ourself in Manchester, are we still going to call ourself Man Utd, or just something like Red Devil’s United?
It’s like playing PES without licensing patch.
It would be worse if the Glazers and FSG hung onto this crusade while the rest of the lot chicken out and this ends with us and Liverpool getting points docked in the league.
The story had just broken but it was before the announcement wasnt it and certainly before all the furore. He was able to deflect it as nobody really had much info.
I remember reading Bayern were involved in this tournament discussion. Struggling to find the article. After seeing what they wrote about ESL, I think they will join as a founding member in not too distant future. It wasn't as dismissive as others have done in their press release
I want it to happen and fail, we can carry on in the EPL without the big 6. It would have some financial issues likely but eventually things would work out better.
Then the big 6 come back after ESL fails, tail in between their legs realising they need the other 14, and stop been idiots with all the silly ideas, 39th game, overseas games, uneven money share, veto votes etc. Let them back in with 30 point deductions for 4 seasons and 4 year European ban

These clubs have riddled themselves with debt due to their own choices so now they want to feck the footballing world to get themselves out if. Fecking jog on.
the more you read and listen to all the views the more I come to this conclusion;
If the shithouse 6 do go ahead with their plans to form a superleague, they will not remain part of the EPL.

This has already been debunked by Stoney. He is far more reliable than Sky Sports

He doesn't have to change the rules of world football. That is the entire point of this.
It is outside the rules of world football, completely independent, and they can do whatever they want in it.
Yip.
I'm sure the broadcast deal will include TV shows like the Spurs documentary. The real kicker is this is an all round year 'series', meaning people will likely pay subscriptions continuously instead of a few months here and there.

It's different asking someone who works to put foodon the table to stand up and asking people with millions in the bank to do it.
Its sad that if it crumbles, you know full well our owners will be clawing desperately to make it happen. We're the worst.
It's a bit weird that there's so much emphasis on money , even in the media. The biggest point against the Super League is the exclusiveness and guaranteed qualification aspect of it, which removes merit out of the equation for the future. They're essentially forming their own cute little club of "big boys".
He's right though. The Champions League has been a key driver of massive inequality in the European domestic leagues. The ESL is just following the path that UEFA laid out to its logical end.
They are choosing to withdraw themselves from Europe. No way they will move from EPL. There is no compulsion to play CL if you play in EPL. So there are no grounds to remove them. Even UEFA can't do anything.
It says in this article Sky pay nearly £1.2b per season for PL rights

Agree we are the worst of the lot. Liverpool and Arsenal owners second and third .
Sky also have a vested interest in it not happening hence why their entire media operation is currently screaming greed and taking the game from the working man without any self-awareness.
So let’s just let it roll now then? It’s started. Someone didn’t speak up ten years ago? feck them it’s already started.
It’s never too late to speak out and wanting everything to crumble to just watch it like some soap opera or because no one spoke out before is pretty childish imo.
Sky will try anything to destabilise this, BBC have said otherwise and I know who I'm trusting. If the clubs existed they'd name them to sow discord. Sky are essentially trying to take down the Super League with wishful thinking.
It is arrogance, but it is also the truth. The only thing that changes is the illusion that these other teams can compete (long term).
The amount of arrogance is staggering
In the words of George Orwell, ‘all teams are equal, but some are more equal than others’. Agnelli is just translating what that means, that teams are not equal and telling the others to feck off.
