As someone else just mentioned, all it would take is some players of stature to tell them to fuck off and the whole thing falls apart.
Rumours that Klopp will resign if it goes ahead, could be huge if true.

Never heard of it. Just noting a similar scenario in another sport.
Believe me mate never done this before but until this changes I'll be going to help out enfield and orient.
To be honest, this feels more like the IPL.
I get ya. My feeling is that they’ll push never to have to make that choice.

He's a cunt acting out of self interest, if it happens sky is finished and Salford F. C are a dead investment for him.
If Klopp does that, I will never take the piss out of his sarcastic grinning ever again
He certainly shouldn't be the one relied on to make the argument against
But I'm not sure who should - virtually everyone is conflicted in some way
The Super League
The Super League is a new European competition between 20 top clubs comprised of 15 founders and 5 annual qualifiers.

This is a tough one. Don’t agree with a ESL but understand why we’ve jumped aboard (the way we are going as a club another season goes by and we are not part of the conversation or invited to it - may be too late). If it doesn’t go ahead will we then lose Kane and Son etc? Devils advocate and all that.
the desire to compete at international level for a majority of English players seemed to fade nearly 20 years ago when the Premiership really started to take off. It has not been the same since IMHO
The Premiership was the first obvious greed motivated step, this is the next that sees the continental federation (UEFA) as an unnecessary component.
Players will only care about the money they could possibly earn, all but a few are fick. They will keep tight lipped and see how this one plays out

Maybe the captains of each club can enter the pitch to their own walk on music like wrestlers.
Hugo to be dressed like a pimp to the sound of 'non, je ne regrette rien' ?

My gut detests the idea of this thing, but my brain is finding it harder to get all apoplectic about it.
This is either the biggest bluff in the game of poker the Uber clubs have been playing with uefa for years or it’s not, but either way what we’ll end up with is a new version of the CL - which is what was happening anyway, and the Uber clubs weren’t going to let up until they got more control (and more of the money pie) over that anyway.
The premier league aren’t going to ban the clubs that generate all its revenue. The PL will continue.
And who really gives a shit if our best players aren’t playing a bunch of international games every year against San Marino and Lichtenstein and get a rest every summer.

Despite all the criticism at the American owners, which is justified, this really was always going to happen once you started allowing people like Abramovich and Sheik Mansour to own clubs. Once the league became a play thing for billionaires to dick swing at one another, something like this was bound to happen.
I agree 100% with smaller teams being given a chance, but I was referring to the number of games teams like Spurs have to play, just to get through to the latter stages.
Some suggestions are really delusional. Just like Neville will reverse course when he gets a gig covering it, and Goldbridge will be on YouTube making United ESL videos, there's not gonna be a player revolt. They're on the phone with their agents today trying to see how much more cash they're getting.
