I am not saying otherwise but he would have been on more at Utd which is my point.
European Super League

Not really. Yes, we are emotionally attached to that great man but I doubt any owner would consult a business decision with footballing p eople
Ok? And you are directing that at me because...?
I was really starting to be hopeful for the future and how things were going, now I am worried again.
I don't mind us playing the big clubs in the CL. The ones who are excited won't be if we lose week after week. The excitement will soon disappear.Suddenly I think it’s great idea! All aboard the Super Express.
The structure has a place in the untouchable 15 just waiting for them....
Respect to the German clubs
They won't and no one has said thing remotely similar to it.
"Here's £1m a week lads, or you can play for England/Norway? Your choice"
Except that in Spain Real and Barca are in on it, and they do not have foreign owners. It amazes me that Barc and Real are doing this when, unlike the Prem, they share 50% of the TV money with the other La Liga clubs sharing the remainder. So the big two in Spain have a huge financial advantage from TV compared to big clubs in the Prem where the TV money is shared equally amongst all clubs, no matter how much of a draw they are.
Don't lie, this is just a convenient reason for you to stop supporting Spurs whilst Jose is there
On a side note, Jose will be competing for premier league titles again when he inevitably takes over the likes of Newcastle.
Neither of them are in it are they? The German clubs have said no and PSG are not invited it appears.
It will make them all equally richer, presumably. While City still have their additional oil billions. Just don’t see how this evens out the playing field.
Source? Bellingham got offered more at Dortmund apparently. Pep said a few weeks ago Dortmund pay agents huge fees to get the top young talents.
Fans will feel passionately about this and rightly so, but please make your own minds up and don’t be sucked in by this ridiculous narrative being pushed by Sky. The way they bang on and moralise, the competition they have helped create is some Marxist utopia where all clubs compete on a level playing field and fans pay thru’penny bit to watch their local heroes play for the love of the game. Rubbish.
Let’s not kid ourselves. The Premier League has always been about money. It was about creating wealth for the original twenty breakaway teams and Sky Sports. Furthermore, its always been a “closed shop” dominated by a handful of rich sides. The only teams who have successfully broken into the top few sides are those who have had billions pumped in by shady owners. What’s so great about the current set-up, dominated by a Championship-sized team who have had the ill-gotten gains of corrupt trillionaires poured into “their” club?
I can’t understand what legitimate arguments exist against the ESL. All of the arguments against are emotive. People don’t like the idea or don’t feel comfortable with it, which is fine. But let’s not pretend it’s some major shift in direction away from what’s already been happening in football for 25 years. The game gave into greed long, long ago. The Premier League and UEFA had their chance to reform and did nothing. Now they are scrambling, along with Sky.

It's because the likes of Barca are haemorrhaging money in the PSG/City inflated market, they need more guaranteed money in order to be able to compete and not go under in the process.
But that's not the issue, the same set of clubs have been trying to do the same thing since the late 90s early 2000s. It's about money and funneling all the TV rights to themselves. I get that people want to find a rational that is palatable to them but blaming Qatar and UAE for something that was mooted way before they entered football is a bit perplexing.
Yeah so they the only big teams left in the Champions League
Yes. But then didn't they absolutely resit takeover of Leipzig?
This is the most likely eventuality.
That's exactly what the plan is from what I can see. Leave the local leagues and start a new 'super league'.
Neville has called for a points deduction.
Imagine if United, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal all got points deducted tomorrow, and you know it'll be a hefty points deduction to make an example of them, the top 4 of the league would look like this:
Leicester,
West Ham,
Everton,
Leeds

I think there will be a revenue based spending cap.
Bayern is the best managed club in the world, and they do not need the super league money
Others club are desperate to make cash asap

What young player doesn't dream of playing at a World Cup Finals?
Just speculating but I imagine if City are being invited it will only be if they agree to a spend/wage cap not exceeding the big clubs involved.
Bang on the money.
Can anyone tell me where it was said that there will be an announcement at 9:30pm?
That's not nearly the same thing tbh. Comparing things that are very very different
So much speculation flying around. No one really knows other than the parasite owners of these clubs involved. I guess we all just have to wait and see at 9.30pm.
See what you are getting at. Sorry.
They're not actively leaving them, it's the Premier League threatening to kick them out.
It has to be a non-starter. Surely. I did wonder if this was more about big clubs politicking because of disquiet over how the game is run. But it does sound advanced. This idea has been around for some time
And I am saying, it's wrong. Noone has said anything about it. You are just assuming things now.
Mate your word is as good as mine. Ive no idea what's going on.
Business decision is whether to choose pornhub or teamviewer as a shirt sponsor. A breakaway league is a transformational decision.
Surely having a living legend on your books may help provide some insight on such?
I couldn't disagree more strongly with your view.
That is a sure-fire way of killing the Champions League stone dead!Neville has called for a points deduction.

I'd hold off before giving them too much credit here, because of the ownership structure in Germany. They probably have to run it by their fans first before publicly committing to the new competition.
With the money involved, I doubt thats needed. They arent going to bid 400m for a player, and if they do then happy days to the selling club
