It sickens me to be involved in this shit. I am ashamed.

A few of my mates reckon an announcement tonight at 9:30 but not sure where they seen that being bandied about...Is there any timescale on this and when it would actually happen?
Are we sure that the media haven't just been played and the story has been leaked to gauge what the reaction will be?
Then, when it looks like nobody is going to accept it, they just turn round and say it was never going to happen?
There hasn't actually been any statements from any if these clubs yet has there?
When do we expect it to be either confirmed or denied?
Coming up on Super Sunday;
03:00 Etihad vs Buccaneers
13:00 Red Bull vs Fenway
23:00 Emirates vs Dulux
Leyton Orient will pick up a fair few Spurs I would of thought.
This would be the final nail in the coffin.
Maybe it's for the best, death and rebirth and all that.
Sounds good to me, mate! I'll probably see you there: as a neutral supporter, all I do is tour games in different stadia around the country. We're probably going to do Leyton again soon.End of days are here. Fuck them all. I’m off to support an English club playing in an English league for English trophies
Or a British league, playing for British trophies.
Leyton Orient it is.
And Bolton when I visit up north.
This has been on the cards for years. I’m pretty violated that Spurs are part of it.
Completely agree with this and many of the other posts on the preceding pages. However:End of days are here. Fuck them all. I’m off to support an English club playing in an English league for English trophies

None of us are involved in this though. It’s nothing to do with fans and fans are not being considered.
Hmmmm. I'm surprised by some of the responses on here. My view for what its worth.
Probably wont happen,its just manoeuvring by the clubs to get a bigger slice of the uefa pie. Its been a regular event and usually works.
I am surprised by the venom it has attracted. Main arguments seem to be;
Its all about the rich getting richer - doh! The PL was set up to get the bigger teams a bigger slice of the cash, fuck the rest of the pyramid. People by and large didn't stop supporting thier clubs, in fact the exact opposite. PL teams went from strength to strength. Football is money, always has been always will be.
But it not fair people cry, its killing the lower league teams! Fuck em I say, they are by and large run by psychotic egomaniacs and if they cant run thier businesses at a profit why should my club bail them out? Have you seen the wages some champo/D1/D2 teams pay? Get to fuck.
It will stop teams getting up the pyramid - oh do fuck off. The PL parachute payments make that almost impossible. And why do I care if burton albion are involved in a battle for 16th place one year? I care about how Spurs do.
The PL will kick them out. LoL. just Lol. Drowning man wilfully destroys life vest. Not gonna happen.
I'm morally object to Spurs joining the Super Elite you say? Bullshit I say. Most people on here have wet dreams about Jeff Bezos taking over, constantly moaning that our billionaire owner is just unwilling to pump hundreds of millions into the club.
Sit back, enjoy the ride. It probably wont happen but if it does I want spurs right in the fucking thick of it.
If it does happen there are only a few things that are certain. All of the extra money will end up in pockets of players. The clubs will not become a beacon of sound financial management. They will still run at a loss. (except for Spurs, who will be managed as a beacon of financial sanity but still win fuck all. And as sure as eggs are eggs in 25 years time the top six of the Super league will be threatening to breakaway into the world elite league unless they get a bigger slice of the pie.
Funny old game innit.
