I think you need 14 teams to agree. Might be false.Don't they need a 75% voting to do so (which I suspect, might have been one of the reasons for the Spurs invitation)?

Funny you should say that because the new Champions League(2024) proposal includes 2 wild card teams based on their European Performance. Arsenal and Spurs would have a free pass to get in almost every season if that happensHes right. If it based on footballing merit they'd be nowhere near it
Yup. First one to slaughter this club for not competing with city and failing to sign x backing mourinho - talking about how we need Haaland/Kane - all the while living in cuckoo land as to how we can afford it. Football is for the fans? How much does a BT subscription cost to watch the CL? How many games are free to air anymore? Where’s the World Cup being played? Cry me a fecking river.Missing the point again though aint he, cause take Chelsea’s billions and City trillions out and Arsenal/Spurs aren’t where they are today.
I would be if it was Ole. Ole will probably say much less though.Little disappointed in Klopp
In Spain as it's been a duopoly for a while, is quite mixed, some fans and media seem to relish this.I'd be interested to see which group of fans are in favour of the Super League. It seems the English fans are almost unanimously against it, but are fans in Europe or further abroad more favourable of the idea?
Neville and Carragher saying it can be beaten then cutting to Klopp who already looks beaten...
Elite... Arsenal?The elite competing with the elite week in week out? How dull and predictable.

I certainly was. Apart from fans, there were generally very little focus on the consequences, pundits were happy, bigger names coming to english football, more money, another challenger for Manchester United. Everyone just took the piss when Manchester United were bought by the Glazers and saddled with debt, happy to welcome Thaksin and MansourMust not have been a football fan at the time, then. Awful take.
Wonder how German fans see it. A league without Bayern opens the door to any club having a realistic chance each season.In Spain as it's been a duopoly for a while, is quite mixed, some fans and media seem to relish this.
They'll make their own rules. Which again is fine.Let's say the ESL establishes itself away from FIFA/UEFA, what kinda football rule will they follow ? I mean for offsides, handballs etc etc.
It could be a totally different football
Many don't as i can see itDoesn't everyone think that?

Eh did he really? I think he lashed out quite a bit at UEFA and FIFA and was a bit standoffish.Short of resigning on the spot he's said pretty much all he can. I wish they all just outright resigned but hey ho.
Not really, we love what they do and support it financially. Players and managers deserve the money and more than what they are currently paid. It may sound silly to say it this way but the only reason I have Mastercard and Gazprom in mind is because of these players, they deserve to get the money that Mastercard and Gazprom pay to have a place in my brain.Ironic that Premier League footballers are going to wear t-shirts saying football is for the fans while earning £50,000 a week.
don’t we all have palace shirts hanging off our wine fridges?Steve Parish on. Looks like somebody said to him "Quick you better hang some palace shirts up in view of the camera.."
always a planeahh the plane returns
Undoubtedly. They probably think it's absolutely rock solid to release it.BTW there was an excerpt from an interview with Ruud Gullit from 2017 where he already talked about this and said it would happen, so it has been talked about, and probably worked on for years
Yeah I totally forgot City/Chelsea were threatened to be kicked out of the PL and their players threatened with international bans. My badMust not have been a football fan at the time, then. Awful take.
Leicester invitation incoming (especially with the Germans and PSG* opting out).I think you need 14 teams to agree. Might be false.
Definitely.Leicester invitation incoming (especially with the Germans and PSG* opting out).
* Though I'll expect them to join after the World Cup.
Yeah, UEFA cannot win this one in the courts. Massive public opinion pressure are their only option.European Super League clubs would WIN any court case brought by UEFA or FIFA, says expert lawyer - and he insists the Premier League would also fail if it tried to kick the Big Six out
European Super League clubs have a good chance of winning any legal battle with UEFA if football's governing body tries to block plans for the breakaway competition, an expert has warned.
- 12 clubs behind European Super League have ALREADY started legal action
- The breakaway competition says it will fight any attempts to ban it or moves to bring sanctions against clubs or players who participate in the new league
- And legal expert in competition sports law says they've good chance of success
Legal fights between governing bodies and upstart competitions have been fought before, with courts recently coming down on the side of promoting more competition in wrestling and ice skating, among others.
The 12 clubs, from England, Italy and Spain, announced plans on Sunday night to set up a competition to rival UEFA's Champions League and Europa League tournaments.

I think Klopp said a lot more than his bosses would have liked. Staunchly defended the Champions League, reiterated his opinion hasn't changed on the Super League concept, also made the point a lot on here have been making about UEFA being money-hungry themselves (while pretending to be purists defending the game).Little disappointed in Klopp
It would be based on merit so we're not sure because we don't know the criteria yet.Who will the 5 rolling sides be? especially if they are suspended from other competitions for joining?
feck him for thinking Liverpool were a better club than United.I think Klopp said a lot more than his bosses would have liked. Staunchly defended the Champions League, reiterated his opinion hasn't changed on the Super League concept, also made the point a lot on here have been making about UEFA being money-hungry themselves (while pretending to be purists defending the game).
He looked thoroughly miserable with what's gone on behind his back. I think he'll be leaving Liverpool in the summer.
