What will be the point of the super league. 60% into the season, there will be 2-4 teams in the trophy race. There is no relegation, no top 4, no qualification for anything, so the other 10 teams will just be playing what amounts to late season mid-table games for half the year.

Those other 14 clubs would lose billions in revenue if the PL kicked the big 6 out. They'd all be facing administration in a year or two.

I'm rooting for Southampton in this semi final, and it doesn't feel too bad actually.
Proper team.
Proper team.
Yep. The 6 would be so wealthy you wouldn't get shocks anymore bar perhaps 1 or 2 freakish results a season. The top 6 would remain the top 6 for evermore. Every other team playing for 7th. I think the premier league would have to act but Gary Neville is probably right, they'll see the reaction and crap themselves just like they did for game 39 and operation big project or whatever the hell it was called.
There'd be a top 8 going into a KO phase I imagine. One of the things I do like about US sports is there is only one trophy to win, rather than everything being diluted by multiple trophies.
It would mirror the Champions League, just fewer teams, larger groups, more matches, and top 8 rather than top 16.
Everyone thats stands to lose money are on Uefa's side. Everyone who will gain from this is on the opposite side. Everyone is greedy.
We'd certainly be the whipping boys along with Arse.
Regular cricket score tonkings from the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich
Everyone is greedy but one side of greedier than the other.
Prepared to kill off grassroots football and lower leagues so the big 6 get some more cash.

Maybe they have promised to give us a trophy for entering.
Open top bus parade with Lloris holding up a declaration of intent.
At least we wont be accused of buying the trophy.. just selling our soul.

As a US fan, I'll say the multiple competitions is one thing I enjoy about the European game. Multiple things to play for. It's not all "win the title or failure." There are inherent pros/cons with rewarding a champion based on total points vs knockouts and this allows for both. The top 4 is something to play for. Top 6 is something to play for. Relegation is something to play for. Cups are something to play for. Ultimately this is all entertainment, and the game is more entertaining when more games matter.
Sky will probably buy the rights to show games from this new league if it gets formed.
I feel we would be the West Ham of the new league: good income and big fanbase, but not good enough to win it.
This is fucking ridiculous and if this happens then I'm switching to finding a non league club.
I just want to watch football at this point and I'm sick of them finding new ways to pull our pants down and make an extra buck off the tourists at the cost of the everyday fan.
That's it. I was a "maybe we can ask Levy to step aside and retire".
This has just pushed me the Levy get the fuck out of my club before you ruin it for everyone else.

The regular season feels so meaningless in US sports.
In the playoffs, some team that was mediocre all season just gets hot and wins the title, even though they aren't the best team.
Also, teams that realize they have no chance midway through the season just sell the good players and lose on purpose to get a high draft pick. There is no penalty for getting last place... there is actually a reward!
It's dreadful.
If we get kicked out of the PL, domestic cups etc where does that leave us......
A complete embarassment.
I agree with that mostly but the Superbowl is an incredible spectacle that only the CL final comes close too.
The big advantage US sport does have is it's stability. The structure won't be much different in 10, 20 or even 50 years.
I think we've arrived at a point that was inevitable once the CL became not just for Champions, it opened up a can of worms that's led here.
