Because why would they kick them out if the change their mind? They want them in the competitions, no point throwing them out because then they'll just go ahead and create their league.

It's a weak and empty statement, at the same time praising the CL reform which points in the same direction as this SL bullshit.
This just isn't going to happen
At first I thought there’s no way they would have done this without searching out that there’s a proper market for this, but listening to Perez rambling on in that interview I can actually believe that they were deluded enough to think everyone would love this idea, even if evidence pointed to the contrary, and are now surprised.
indeed... probably AC milan are actually the outlier ... though undoubtedly have a great recent(ish) history and a world wide following

There was definitely a discussion on soccer Saturday maybe 10 years ago now when some were arguing of the danger of letting foreign owners take over the biggest clubs in the PL would lead to a breakaway. Imagine Merson and Phil being on top of this back then! The shame of it...

must explain their partaking in the ESL

The problems aren't gone even if the superleage is canceled. We need a european wide buget cap. The main problem is that the clubs overbid each other in palyer salaries.
This idea of of a founding 15 clubs immune from relegation and a special "invited 5" simple doesn't work, the 5 teams that get relegated each year will be the 5 that joined it. Depending on numbers promoted relegated each year of course, but the idea is a joke, basically no promoted team can play in the league for more than one season at a time.
Most of their debt is owned to their owner
Yeah so they better shut their mouths now that the sport is about to be ripped apart right? Same as Neville once got paid by the glazers and works for sky, he better shut his mouth too, after all they all take part in society, selfish fecks
Because their “debt” is money that came out of the bottomless pockets of their owner.
Didn’t realise Spurs were in such deep shit. Makes their addition all the more mystifying.
Even a stopped clock...I know there’s a lot of Corden fans on here...

Being serous though, he’s absolutely spot on
Joking aside, very well said.
The time has come for all top European leagues to come together and put a universal salary cap so certain countries can't take advantage of it. The timing couldn't be better, and hopefully it's legally possible to drop all salaries below the cap with immediate effect. This would feck over greedy agents and footballers chasing money ahead of dreams, and it would save bigger clubs from bankruptcy.

It's owed to Abramovich a big part of it was for club infrastructure, if I remember correctly and he had no intention to reclaim it.
Tight but doable.
It's clearly working, on r/soccer they're saying "oh it's a shitty excuse but at least it's not as bad as the others". City also barely seem to be catching any heat for this.
This is far too simplistic, total debt figures mean nothing without the details of terms of the said debt. A simplistic example having £100,000 on credit card debit is very different to £100,000 in mortgage debt.
If we dock points of the ESL clubs Leicester will be champions again this season. Lightning strike twice who would have thought?
Clear Perez is a ringleader and Barca/Madrid have lost a shit load. American owned clubs were always going to join in as they have no connection to the club/fans and purely see it as money making exercise and have probably been impatiently saying for years "when can we convert this to the US sports model?!!"
Could have worked with each other (and the other clubs and associations) to talk about rising salaries/agents fees and find a solution but too much effort...
Technically they 'owe' Abramovich around a billion.
So while he's pumped money in, it's on the books as a loan that has to be paid back.
EDIT: I didn't realise Spurs were so badly in the shit. Clubs should not be able to go 1 billion into debt. It's nuts

They'll also get feck all money out of it compared to the 15 even if my some miracle they manage to win it.
This is not free market in action. Why do people keep saying this is an inevitable result of the free market. That's as dumb as saying USSR communism is the inevitable result of socialism. A free market contains regulation.
barcelona could, and the decision to join superleague should be ratified by members through vote. The original agreement to join was given the ok by the previous board without vote and announced the day they left (!)
the sudden announcement, the pandemic and the new board being elected recently probably made the voting impossible beforehand. It was already difficult to organize the new board election
don't know about madrid
It'll be like WWE promos for weeks
Can get Leicester to win the league at 39/1 on Betfair. A mate of mine (Leicester fan) has put £50 on it
FIFA president Gianni Infantino breaks silence on European Super League

They fined Nigeria when we were so shit that our then president tried to ban us from the World Cup altogether
Do you think for one second that had Everton been invited to join they would have said no ? I don’t. Like I suspect a couple of clubs they knew had they been invited then it would have been financial suicide to say no If and a big If this ESL does come to fruition
Everton were considered to be in the big 5 prior to the PL being formed, they took full advantage of the opportunity even to the point of supporting the Chester report proposal that led to the abolition of shared gate receipts.
Everton are bitter understandably because they have invested heavily in chasing a dream and the owners who let’s face it who have no link with Liverpool as a City know that the building of a £500 million stadium is pointless without top class opposition to fill it.

It's a dodgy accounting thing. Roman's investments into the club are technically interest free loans from one of his companies to another of his companies.
He owes himself 1.5 billion.
I don't think that it's the idea. My suspiscion is that the 5 invitee are auditioning for being part of future expansions. Basically you invite teams and see if they bring enough revenue, if they do you offer them a share in the company and the 15 become 16. Rinse and repeat.This idea of of a founding 15 clubs immune from relegation and a special "invited 5" simple doesn't work, the 5 teams that get relegated each year will be the 5 that joined it.

No he should have helped when the Utd fans were trying to point this out. He should have used his platform to raise these issues before they happened.
But he was happy because the game was still bringing him loads of cash, it´s far too easy to point a finger and say I told you so after it has already happened.
All of these authorities had already been warned and many fan clubs had already brought up these issues years ago but no one listen and the party was left to run riot because it made them millions.
Coming out now for me is just a bit too little too late, Gary and Carra plus many others should have hammered the lawmakers years ago to involve fans into decision making of the clubs.
Just find it rich to be acting all surprised and shocked right now.
PL and UEFA are hugely dependant on these clubs to make Them money. That is how they can pull off a stunt like this.
Hopefully All this backlash forces Them to stop these Plans.
This has brought other issues to attention again though, which needs to be addressed.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kroenke was pushing for it with Arsenal out of Europe. It's been planned for years though. There was a leak that Bayern were planning this 3 years ago.
