How should fans go about showing their unhappiness with the proposed ESL?

Drowning TeamViewer in negative emails would be a good start. It’s a direct line of sight to meaningful money. Committing to never buying a club shirt with our new sponsor, to that sponsor... pretty juvenile but at least it’s tangible.

Its not juvenile at all. We have to hit the owners in their wallets, because that's the only thing they care about. Until they backtrack and issue an apology, I am not spending another cent on the club.

Not just TeamViewer but Adidas, Kohler, Aon, Aeroflot and all the others as well.

An open letter to the club and sponsors saying we will be showing our displeasure with our wallets for as long as it takes for this to be stopped and Glazers gone from our club, and then signed by as many fans as we can.

First off: voice your anger in social media and in public.

Secondly: don't attend ESL games, even if you're a season ticket holder.

Thirdly: don't subscribe to the service that will broadcast ESL games.
That's fine, tourists/global fans, executives, businessmen and the elite will happily take tickets to these games.

But if that means half empty stadiums? Surely that isn't fine for anyone?

Their league is built-on a money, that destroy it from money. Boycott anything of the team who join that league. (Season Tickets, member, club shirt, souvenir, TV broadcast etc who related to the club and the league)
If everyone able to do that, then the Sunday unregulated will be broken in financial side. But, would everyone do that? i don't think so. They are not care about losing half of the fans because they have a Amazon like broadcast to back them up to the world.
But, i afraid is that, their cash pool is extremely larger than currently. Would the largest part from the cash pool is related to bet which you have nothing to do in that region?

Protests at the grounds, form a blockade in front of doors so team busses can't get in and actually play their games, remove every banner from the stands, etc. This is horrible.

The best way to destroy it is not to give it any money.

Stream all matches illegally. Buy bootleg merchandise, or better still, don't buy any merchandise at all.

You really don't NEED that new and exclusive Super League football kit with that gold laced Super League logo.

The clubs know that 99% won't do this. They'll ride the media shitstorm and most people will give in and just watch the new league.

It's really up to the FA, Uefa and Fifa to stand their ground - only they can stop or limit the super league.
There is a little to do from FA UEFA and FIFA.
If superclubs can override the league, they also have a power to override the assoication with set a new associated by selected reputation country & reputation players to override FA UEFA FIFA duty. Or maybe a group of nba, nfl, NHL, mlb & soccer association bleak through to takeover the job duty of FA, UEFA and FIFA.

The FA, UEFA and FIFA can decide who is eligible to participate in their tournaments.

Whether they are brave enough to boot them out is another matter.

Once fans are allowed to return there needs to be mass protests outside the grounds during games. Collectively agree not to attend the games but stay outside and protest. Would be a massive statement that even post COVID the fans will not return unless the idea is scratched

I saw on SSN just now that the group that makes all the flags for the Liverpool kop have withdrawn their support, so all the flags will have to be removed.
That would be a good start, we could presumably do the same.

On the other thread, someone suggested Fergie & Bobby Charlton ask for their names to be removed from the stands at OT. That would be massive.

Perhaps this is something that fans of al big clubs can all agree on.

Also we should try and organise forums for fans and ex players to voice their objections. Seems like you would get a galaxy of ex United, Liverpool, Chelsea and even Arsenal luminaries. These lads are box office. Plus the Government, plus fecking UEFA and the FA. What would yourman Sun Tzu have said? Something along the lines of "When we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away. And the other way around". Up to now, we (who don't accept this) have given a good impression of a disorganised mob....

Only thing we can do that could potentially have some impact is not attend super league games, everything else is pointless and wont affect things one bit. Saddest thing is, even though 90% of the fans are against it, i cant see any club doing that :(

I'm not going to watch it. Won't be spending a single penny on club merchandise etc.

For each of the 6 clubs, we need a list of their major sources of income/revenue.
Some are obvious and some less so.
Then the supporters of these clubs need to coordinate actions to disrupt those revenue streams.
And for the businesses that are providing those revenue streams, bombard their social media with all means necessary to show your dissatisfaction.
