Of course I won't stop watching, I'll just not watch the clown fiesta.
I think you're underestimating young supporters a bit. Maybe really young supporters (like early teens) who don't understand the implications would keep watching, but I think the vast majority of fans aged around 17 or over will not want a bar of this.I have a feeling younger supporters will keep watching whilst bitter old supporters like me will stop caring
That’s how I see this ESL attempt too, it’s mainly targeted at the younger audience that won’t care that much as they don’t realize the implications. Of course the global aspect of it can’t be underestimated too, don’t think USA or Asian fans will be against it really - those markets are huge. Thus, it leaves us European fans above certain age out of this but I’m happier for it (not watching anymore) as top level football was becoming a joke with each passing day anyway.BBC saying that traditional supporters are viewed as 'legacy fans' by the clubs in the ESL and they are focused more on younger fans that want to watch superstar players. It's fecking over everyone.

You need to wake up mate.Absolutely not. Just as my great grandfather, grandfather, father, Busby and the babes, Sir Alex, gave me this club, it will not be taken away by the despicable owners that we currently have. I will support this club until I die, because it my club and our club, not theirs.
This is what I thought, it’s targeted more towards TV fans, casual fans and day trippers who want to see the stars of the game. Forget regular match going fans who are not going to be able to travel the world to watch their team.That’s how I see this ESL attempt too, it’s mainly targeted at the younger audience that won’t care that much as they don’t realize the implications.

Seen some people suggest this and I don't think it's true. I'm an Australian fan and I detest the idea of the ESL because I fell in love with the romance of football. I think most foreign fans are the same, at least those who support English clubs. I think they see football as a unique alternative to US franchise football and don't want to lose it. I think these clubs have wildly misjudged the fans and I hope it comes back to bite them.That’s how I see this ESL attempt too, it’s mainly targeted at the younger audience that won’t care that much as they don’t realize the implications.

Nah I don't. I want the glazers out more than anything but what can I do about it? I barely buy any merchandise and get tickets to games from friends who have spares. I'm never walking away from utd, simple.You need to wake up mate.
As a fellow Irish man, this is an incredibly disrespectful comment to make to the tens of thousands of irish who love the club, but especially to the Mancs who live and breathe this club, the lifeblood of who we thought we were. And that goes for the fans of the other legitimate supporters of all football teams.
The generations thay have gone before them, and the future generations due to have it passed down to them. Forgotten, and disregarded.
Fair competition being trampled on for money. Its capitalism at its ugly pure form.
For shame.
It isn’t a rebranding son. It essentially a break away from football league to get larger chunk of TV deal. So in this respect, it’s similar to what’s super league is doing. Only major difference is, PL still retains its connection with football league with promotion and relegation system, and works under UEFA framework, whereas super league is essentially a closed system and clubs are “in” by invitation only but not by it’s merits, which angers most people.What do you mean?
I was born in the late 1990s. I always believed the Premier League was a rebranding of the English First Division.
