Maybe the money uefa promised the English clubs is to pay the fines off?
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
Anyone else enjoying that we can safely take the piss out of the remaining 'super' clubs now 
With Brexit, government can do a LOT without paying attention to Europe.
how long are the games going to be? Asking for the young people who apparently can't focus for 90 minutes.
The world dreamed of a mix between the Emirates Cup and the Audi Cup and they've done it ! What a great day this is, congrats Florentino ! 
They're deluded. The ESL won't function without the English, German or French clubs and nobody else is going to rush to join them either. And by "function" I mean be financially viable. This is something that needs to be heavily financed, not patchworked together.
End of Return Of The Jedi.
Who are they again?Anyone else enjoying that we can safely take the piss out of the remaining 'super' clubs now
Yeah, this is all going to end soon.

It’s weird though, right? That they did not anticipate such backlash? People calling them amateurs are on to something, I think.
Not as bad as internal and external stakeholders
OK cool and an amazing picture
And the agreement with the EU excluded services, deliberately, so basically you are right - even though our competition law is basically the same as the EU's (for the moment), we can do what we want in terms of football.
So, are the previous English clubs going to be replaced by other European clubs ?
Been off work this week. Following this assault on football. Let’s be honest. The supporters of all the 6 and the wider clubs affected stopped this abomination. Was an unprecedented outcry that echoed around the globe. Kudos due. Seeing all supporters rally against this has really lifted me from where I was last Sunday evening
12 seconds
I expect one of Barca/Atletico to leave tomorrow and that will be it. Thought Milan would be out as well.
Real and Juve will stay til the end though

A PR disaster. How did they plan to do this without;
For this to have been anything close to a success, a huge marketing initiative would have been needed to sell the product.
- Any plan on managing the fan/media backlash?
- Buy in from players
- Sponsors in place
- Clear rules on how teams 'qualify' into it

I wonder if the fanbase would stop crying out for a mega-signing like Haaland and etc? Especially if the club says they have no money to spend?
Maybe the Italians and spanards will create a mini in-season league for themselves to be played parallel to their domestic league. Maybe invite the 3 portugese giants as well.
Shhh. Don't let Perez hear that. He thinks it is the La Liga that keeps fans watching football.
And their website
They should have slowly introduced it for the future, with getting the players and everyone on board. Transparency was key. They rushed it behind everyones back and hoped for the best
Seriously, I can't believe that we're still getting more news update on this. It's midnight and beyond in Europe right now, and we're still getting more news bites! What a wild day...
Looks like it's Deansgate in Manchester, when United won the treble and they had the on top bus parade.
All of them refused, Porto even mentioned they refused before it was announced.
Madrid and Barca must realize and accept the bitter reality that their Champions League dominance days are over. They have to pay the price of unrealistic wages and buying all the stars. The era of Spanish dominance is over!
This stunt they tried to pull was based on pure self greed and save their Clubs. Now come back to the level playing field and face the consequences of running your club poorly, without financial viability.

I read somewhere that they had a PR team but I didn't see any sign of it. They just left a void that was filled by opponents to the idea.
Great location by the way. Lot of us are living there, we've been told.
I think that’s a club apology pal. We’ll see what FSG say in the coming days. On the chance it is them they come across as whiny petulant bitches. Those cnuts won’t set foot in Anfield again.
I was always more of a trekkie. Empire was good though
Think whats worst thing of all, is they tried to use pandemic as excuse and on top of that, use restrictions like no gatherings caused by COVID to avoid certain aspects of backlash, how big pieces of shit you have to be.
The funniest part from all of this is that Levy won't be reimbursed for firing Mourinho now
Want to talk about ST ?
He also thinks world stops when Barcelona and Real Madrid plays but when we play against our neighbours it is nothing. There will be lot of world stoping if they go ahead with this.
What a beautiful day. I won't forget this madness, glad we got the result we wanted in the end.
And the karma is that it was THEM burning La Liga to the ground with their TV rights cartel.
Now La Liga is boring and they are getting the payback.
I think the reason why the spanish clubs haven't withdrawn is because they'll sue the others for breach of contract worth hundreds of millions. You don't sign a contract one day going into hundreds of pages and withdraw the next day without consequences.
You can bet your arse our transfer kitty will be going to madrid and barcelona.
