Im not sure I have ever even heard any of the Glazers speak
I’ll he honest, I haven’t fully understood the new CL proposal other than a general “it looks shit”. If it significantly reduces the risk of failure to qualify for the big clubs then that pisses me off almost as much as the ESL.Agree 100%. Don't remove the uncertainty of everything. Its geniuinely exciting to see who will finish top4 this season. Thank feck we are pretty much safe, but the next 6 games are huge for 5 or 6 other clubs. If Liverpool knew they'd get in anyway because they won it a couple of years ago we are getting back into the realms of "are they really going to try that hard" - which was the whole problem with ESL in the first place.
It's better than not addressing fans at all BUT this is a load of shite.Tweet

They were reporting in France that UEFA made a proposal for an African Super League with a similar concept, don't know if it was closed too...
But there are consequences already. Players sign 5yr deals on big money which relies on CL revenue.There should be no safeguards against a blip. If you don’t want the consequences of a blip, don’t blip.

Tough shit. If the need to consistently win football matches is a problem for the owners, then don’t buy football clubs.But there are consequences already. Players sign 5yr deals on big money which relies on CL revenue.
And technically you are qualifying through performance on the field in prior years which is already how it works.
So they'll be no punishmentsTweet

This is the super fan of the future
Nothing funny about this he actually has a point. There are less young people following football than twenty years ago. Football is yet to enter digital age. Watching a game is the same as 30 years ago.
Hilarious given most people I know absolutely love taking their local league 2 team to champions league winners on FIFA & Football Manager
Yes and the cost of all three of those players combined is less than that of Ronaldo. That's the point.Yes because they can spend whatever they want. The Ronaldo situation will be no big deal for them. Didn't they just bought Ruben dias for about 70 euros this season? Last season both cancelo and rodri for over 60 each? Every year they have purchases like that.
Anyway I have reached my post limit.
The Glazers, it was all ruse to sell some t-shirtsWho got those Earn it t-shirts done so quickly?
Leeds and Brighton wore the same ones.
Surely the biggest problem with getting young people interested is the expense associated with watching it on tv and in the ground. Removing the champions league from free to air was stupid, chasing short to gain at the harm of the long term popularity of the gameNothing funny about this he actually has a point.

Hitler didn't like the idea, and is a United fan it seemsFully expect a version of the Hitler meltdown clip in 1-2 days

Of course there are less young people watching, football traditionally starts with kids being taken to games. How is a working class parent supposed to afford to take 2 kids to each home match when its going to cost half a weeks wages? Or pay for 2 TV subscriptions so they can watch from home?Nothing funny about this he actually has a point. There are less young people following football than twenty years ago.

No power isn't quite accurate. Swansea have a supporters trust and it does allow for a say in matters, as well as improving accountability and transparency. It can still be circumnavigated but it's a lot better than nothing.
I think people were entitled to wait for more information. I also think some would still be onboard with the ESL proposal and that is their right, different supporters will have varying desires and ideas of how football should be played. I'm very grateful to the supporters who opposed the plans and made their voices heard though, as without the public backlash there is no doubt it would have gone ahead. Even more so to supporters of the ESL clubs who spoke out in opposition.
I feel the same, our club cannot truly heal with these bastards at the helm. They've got to go.I'm still feeling absolutely disgusted this morning. The club won't feel right until they're gone.
Thank you to all the Chelsea fans that could demonstrate yesterday evening, I hope there is bigger supporter demonstrations to come.
That is the essence of the sport. 22 men/women, 2 goals and 1 ball. Watching the NBA now and 30 years ago is the same as well.Nothing funny about this he actually has a point.

It's mind-boggling that football has been gatekept via costs that are prohibitive to young people yet the solution is...more gatekeeping behind additional paywalls?Of course there are less young people watching, football traditionally starts with kids being taken to games.

No they are not, and even if they are, that's not the point at all. For city, if those three players fail, no problem, buy another three and that's it. It doesn't work like that for the majority of the clubs. For whatever reason you are in denial about that, so carry on.Yes and the cost of all three of those players combined is less than that of Ronaldo. That's the point.
4.2 + 4.1 + 4 + 3.2 + 2.8 + 2.3 = $20.5bn without all the other clubs but I don't seriously believe the government will do anything about it, never mind the cost, the legal arguments forever more, they won't want to get involved. Boris just thought it was a good horse to back to become more popular with the disgruntled fans.Right so the top six are worth $16.5bn roughly £12.5bn.

Exactly. There was never a problem getting young fans interested when they could actually afford to go to games with their mates - and open tickets were available on the day. Get the standing sections open at budget rates and give them priority.Surely the biggest problem with getting young people interested is the expense associated with watching it on tv and in the ground.

What was the Super League going to do attract kids that just want to play fortnite? Write into the contracts of every player that they must do a dance from the game when they score?Nothing funny about this he actually has a point.

Waiting for Joel Glazer to do the same. Oh wait - it’s not going to happen.Tweet

It was a joke mate.No way. The current Arsenal is no where near deserving of being in a "Super League" and even if this was an early 2000s Arsenal competing for the league, it would be a rotten idea. I'd like to believe no decent Gooner would ever consider it a good idea even if the club wasn't miles away from being anywhere near the elite.
Removing domestic football from free to air was the real feckup. Its where you build the fans. They should learn lessons from Free to Play gaming. Get people involved for free and THEN monetize from your huge fanbase.Surely the biggest problem with getting young people interested is the expense associated with watching it on tv and in the ground.

We've all been bamboozled by the door-in-the-face technique.This is what makes me feel like it's a been 1 big trick.
Offer us a worse case scenario and in the background rush through a new set of just rules just as bad.
Now we all feel happy and will accept whatever comes. It doesn't sound much different than the ESL honestly.
