Well, I for one am absolutely delighted that Perez has gone full Trump on cocaine and is fronting this thundercnut league. It's a fecking beautiful thing to see.
European Super League
- Thread starter esmufc07
- Start date
was it BT or Sky that was trying to charge £14.99 PPV for league matches?
Shorter football matches
This I'll never accept.
Can't wait for the half time shows, matches in China, America,... Changing rules.
Every match is gonna be like the superbowl
No! Martial FC was supposed to be a joke!
There will eventually be a Super League 2 and 3 no doubt.
I hope arsene wenger who said this would happen decades ago been planning since then on how to stop it and swoops in last second like batman to save us.
To be fair their desire to work something out with UEFA was in the press release last night.
I feel like Perez just did more to help torpedo this idiotic plan than all the protests could have achieved.
Yeah, last night, I was thinking about this whole thing further, and this whole thing could be a ploy for FIFA to have a strong influence and association with club football all around the world. Imagine a global football pyramid with multiple tiers. Honestly, it can happen, and it'll make club football totally centralised, which I'm not sure how I can feel about.

Let me guess. We need more time for ads to keep thing interesting?
I could just about swallow this if the Founders were allowed to get relegated down to Super League 3 based on performances.
Me too. Atleast I had the pleasure to watch football from the mid 80's, it was a good run.
When the story broke last year FIFA were said to be involved. Have they made a statement yet?
They should call it superball. 4 quarters of 20 mins. WWE raw on half time with Trump supposedly to make a cameo but ends up blabbing 30 mins about 2020.
Yeah just in time for when they threaten to drop out of the domestic leagues for good and move the ESL to weekends to please the worldwide market. That's the end goal.
"And if these young people, with their Nintendos and their Walkmans think the game is too boring, we can unleash live animals onto the pitch each quarter. Oh also we're having quarters now, only legacy people like halves."
Wonder how Real Madrid fans are feeling about Perez's verbal diarrhea today?
Closed league.. Shorter matches..
He is clearly trying to copy the IPL .

I hope they all feck off into this ESL league, and hopefully many of the players will quit their clubs and just stick with the current existing pyramid that they are trying to leave behind. Let's have real football without those 12 clubs. Maybe eventually they'll come back in the lower leagues and have to work their way up after they swallow their pride.
At this stage, FIFA are opposing the Super League just like UEFA are. We'll see how long they maintain their position.
Do we at least get cheerleaders?
They'll have time outs with cheerleaders dancing and some games with fans to make the sport interesting.
No idea what will happen, doesn't look good though.
Yes, first to sign was @crossy1686Do we at least get cheerleaders?
They should implement something like viewers vote to decide how long match will last, if the match up is not that attractive they can make it last maybe 20 min per half or so, just how you set up in video game.
Sigh. It's so fecking shit.
Heading will probably get banned in one code but not the other. I could easily see different implementations of the offside rule as well.They'll have time outs with cheerleaders dancing and some games with fans to make the sport interesting.
I’d like to apologise for saying you were a shill for oil clubs. This madness is all still sinking in.
Shorter football matches
This I'll never accept.
I've already mentioned that because they have not anyone to answer to. They can even play with 5 players each, have rules like no offsides or that ball must be a square. Maybe even play shirtless holding an egg on the head. They can do what they want because they don't have anyone to answer to. No rules. Nothing. Money rules.
They might even invite "fans" to controll a player for 5 minutes with a joystick or "be a manager for a game".
I canceled my subscriptions 3 months ago and look at the timing!
Really disappointed I didn't do it sooner, I mean look at the state of this!
Modern football is just a nasty corrupt and vile industry and I'm so happy never again in my life having to pay a dime for this bullshit sport. Red until I die and I will always follow our results but football is pretty much out of my life now.
Really feels like I've jumped a sinking ship because regardless of this happening or not everything with the sport is going downhill anyway. Seriously people, think twice about renewing whatever subscriptions you have. Do you really want to be a part of this?

Thats got to be fecking Woodward
Pretty sure there was a thread on this, how young fans follow players more than clubs.
bring on the multi ball?

Oh it's going to be marvellous.
Ian Doyle: "What must Robertson, McTominay and Tierney be thinking now? Help Scotland to a first major finals this millennium then find out they may not be able to play in Euros because of their owners"
FIFA's relative silence suggests to me that as a minimum they're interested in testing the water. Their big money sooner is the WC and they want more. The obvious place to look it is at the money in there club game and the European club game in particular.
The other side of that is that if FIFA let these club owners get away with this, they will be the next target. What value does FIFA add to the SL model once the initial storm has passed? Corrupt, bureaucratic and with a structure that encourages the rise of factions and bloques - they're only useful to the European franchisees as cover.
