Football Super league rumours yet again !!

[ted fenton]

"Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all agree to plan. Five English clubs are among 11 European teams who have signed up to a breakaway Super League in an extraordinary development on the eve of Uefa's announcement of a new Champions League format. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/18/sports/soccer/super-league-united-liverpool-juventus-madrid.html"

Because the PL would not be a competition anymore... the JPM6 wouldn’t give 2 shits about it and will probably play reserve teams. It’s just the start to drag these clubs away from their foundations so they play globally instead

"Mike they’ve said they want 15 founders who are untouchable then 5 (or more) others who can qualify. English teams bring more money and it’ll only be for one season that the extras are there. We’d have a better chance qualifying for that then the current CL, and it’s more money. What’s not to like??"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"I can't see why they are still in the PL - no need to ""kick them out"". By their own violation the six of them have each deliberately invalidated their PL membership."

[Romfordboy]

"Blimey Petr Cech Responds to Everyone: ‘ I KNOW, GIVE US TIME’ The Club are trying to get out of the Super League! He has just gone to the protests"

[dealcanvey]

That is fucking weak from Aston Villa. Did Grealish write that? Now is the time to stand up. Players are speaking up. If the 14 start caving so will the players playing for the 6. They should be fully backing them. A player revolt would put this to bed quickly and these scum owners back in their box.

[RBshorty]

“Too Big To Fail.!” We been here before folks.

[Romfordboy]

Also Barca members have now lobbied to have a vote on this super league as they were not consulted Could get messy

[Barty]

kick the 6 traitors out of the premier league NOW! Let them cam crawling back and beginning in the conference when the Super League flops

[Romfordboy]

Apparently the financial for any clubs pulling out of this league are huge... I wonder what would happen if the gov change the laws and make joint the league illegal! Are the clubs on the hook still... tuu hi is is going to run and run

[Takashi Miike]

"every part. don't we already make up six of the founding members, of which none will have any threat of relegation/qualification, which was the whole point of this exercise after the greed part? you'd have to be very gullible to believe that they'd want even more english teams involved"

[fraser]

Have they just got Arsenal and Y's in because they're less likely to suffer it than the rest of the PL?

[goose]

The only person involved to come out and speak about the ESL was Perez and his interview was an absolute car crash.

[Pub Bigot]

"""Young people say the game is too long,"" he said. ""If young people don't watch an entire game it is because it is not interesting enough, or we will have to shorten the games."" Jesus wept!"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Takashi Miike 7:53 Tue Apr 20 Absolutely. Believe that and you may as well also admit that you believe in Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy. Reality sometimes needs to stuck on the side of a house-brick and smashed repeatedly into some people's faces before they get the message."

[Romfordboy]

Honestly I think it’s going to be taken out of the pl hands

[Jasnik]

"HaHA great argument : There has been no concrete plan released on how the tournament would be structured but Perez said it could have shorter matches in order to keep their targeted younger audience interested. ""Young people say the game is too long,"" he said. ""If young people don't watch an entire game it is because it is not interesting enough, or we will have to shorten the games."" ------- 4 quarters here we come ."

Which part is horse shit Mike?

[⚒️]

Fair play to the Chelsea fans. https://youtube.com/watch?v=HvnieFO2sho

[Takashi Miike]

"""The 14 will get some money and the opportunity for one of them to qualify for the ESL every season."" absolute horse shit"

[Jasnik]

Looks like some clubs are bottling it already. Maybe Villa are hoping for an invite.

[nychammer]

"""They will have their ESL and stay in the PL. The 14 will get some money and the opportunity for one of them to qualify for the ESL every season"" No....at least to the like or Arsenal who haven't been CL standard for a few years and Spurs who look likely to miss out this year yet still somehow feel entitled to the 300M quid transfer kitty based on a sense of glamour, superiority and entitlement and not a lot else. We are agreeing to let them enrich themselves to the tune of 300M with no other club likely to get close even with a system of relegation in place. That is a non starter and they have to be expelled. Take a stand!"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Far, far bigger act of self-harm letting them stay in the PL."

[Romfordboy]

If that happens it’s the end of the PL as we know it Absolute pointless
