I have absolutely no need to, because that would be exactly as relevant as your idiotic and blinkered point.
I know you probably love winding everyone up and that, but it would probably be reasonable if you tottered off now. No one needs this bullshit at this point in time.
Melissa Reddy: Players weren't insulted and aren't keen. Club staff don't like it. The overwhelming majority of fans don't want this. It's on the owners.
so they can dial in on the next zoom call and discuss it with the owners.
who is she, and how does she know. Let's only post credible stuff
Appears Jose has been sacked as well.
We need players, managers to kick up a huge shitstorm now.
Will see when there is massive bump in their salaries. Unless players boycott it, this doesnt matter at all.
FA cup awarded to Leicester as well!
Who knew that billionaires and greedy corporations would use any means they can to line their pockets even more 
Not gonna say I’ll stop watching United but this is hugely disappointing.
Not gonna say I’ll stop watching United but this is hugely disappointing.Not going to watch a second of this. RIP Man Utd, final nail in the coffin for me.
I don't think it sums it up well at all. Americans don't have the concept of rich and poor teams because they operate onder a salary cap, every team is equal and has the same amount of money to spend. Franchises are valued differently but in essence no team is richer than another one in the same league.
jesus, this news wil lbe over shadowed.
What makes a giant of the game? Surely its the team that won the league last year? What is the point if you're Leicester or someone like that now? What about if you're a supporter of a div 2 club that dreams one day of Champions League glory - fighting against the old aristocrats of Real Madrid and so on. Thats been deprived of people now. This idea kills dreams - for a fecking exhibition of some commercially relevant, rich clubs in a competition with no meaning.
Yeah, I would imagine Leicester would like to win it properly. Another trophy with an *.
The leagues will come around though, whether UEFA does or not. There's no way the PL would want to lose their 6 biggest and most watched clubs. It is even more skewed when it comes to La Liga.
The correct analogy would be - can't understand why popular/important teams have to play no-marks.
They've just released the official logo for the competition:
She's a senior correspondent at the Independent. A newspaper establishd in 1986 with 200.000 daily readers in paper format.
She's a journalist.
Not being able to play for your country might be the biggest argument that FIFA and UEFA still can invoke. The World Cup stays the pinnacle of football for many fans and I guess players too.
Jose Mourinho the first of The Super League managers to lose their job
I don't know what else to say to you anymore. Yes, I'm perfectly fine with the notion of a SL, I hope it goes ahead. I watch football to be entertained and this will be entertaining, therefore I'm in.
Your delusional mate. I'm amazed by the naivety and plastic nature of fans on this website.
Yeah Bayern have the best interests of Dortmund at the forefront of their plans. They would never do anything that would hurt Borussia would they?
ok thanks, didnt know, good to hear
""PSG are also worried that the initial novelty of a Super League may wear off after a couple of seasons while sources also said the involvement of breakthrough clubs such as Atalanta or Leicester City must be protected if football’s competitive spirit is to be maintained. On a more personal level, PSG’s President, Nasser al-Khelaifi, is a member of the UEFA board and also the ECA. Sources close to the PSG president insisted on Sunday he would be reluctant to publicly knife Ceferin in the manner that Agnelli has been accused of doing by some of his peers.
Al-Khelaifi also heads up beIN Media Group, the Qatari television networks that has the rights to broadcast UEFA’s Champions League. This tournament would of course be grossly devalued should a Super League emerge independently of UEFA. “Nasser has his critics,” explains one friend of the president, “But he is a very loyal person. He is not a two-faced bastard. He is friends with Ceferin and has been on the UEFA board for a long time. If you are Nasser’s friend, he looks out for you. So, yes, there is a personal loyalty to Ceferin but also integrity to his job on the board of UEFA.”
Both PSG and Bayern are conscious of the impact on their own domestic leagues and that public opinion is firmly against a breakaway movement. One source in the United States, who has worked with both clubs, said the opposition is also rooted in a fear the Super League would not be as successful as its advocates propose. “It’s like Brexit Day,” says one critic. “The bus says ‘Look at the £350m, it will be amazing’ but it turns it is a big lie and economically, you are out of your own domestic league and you are screwed.”"

Ahhh, makes sense, thanks. Says it all really how one has to consider all sorts of geopolitical logic nowadays in football matters
Give Sheffield United our spot in the final if we get booted. We beat them in the Quarters.
She is a journo from the Independent albeit with a big Liverpool bias. I would say she is strongly credible.
We shall see what Bayern ultimately do (i reckon they'll come aboard), but come on, PSG have made a completely self serving decision, no different to the one made by the 12/15.
Hopefully this trash will be squashed in short order, not only is it the most transparent show of greed ever it also sounds like the most boring concept I've heard.

Thank you, I have just found my new avatar for the time being.
This will be the one time I won't get annoyed at anyone wanting to change club allegiances.
Personally, although I can't say for sure, this might be the end for me as a fan.

They can’t understand the concept of spending a lot of money buying/investing in a “franchise” but ending up not being allowed to compete in the most lucrative competition (because the team is fecking shit)
You are OK with fundamentally breaking the nature of organic growth and competitiveness. Now these 15 clubs have secured their financial power for the future.
They most likely won't, unlike the British clubs Bayern still has their major revenue in domestic BL football. A move like that would hurt them more than, say City or Chelsea.
Surely banning them doesn't make any sense. Then there is no reason for then to not proceed.
Not sure why United fans are all of a sudden concerned about the fidelity of the lower league teams. No one was balling their eyes out when City got relegated, or Leeds failed to qualify to the PL. As a fan of football and Manchester United I want what's best for United and the sport but I couldn't give a shit about these teams that don't want us to exist but all of a sudden need us
The best teams? You mean the richest teams? This has absolutely feck all to do with the "best teams".
