In essence, one mafia faction (the ESL 12) have decided to stop kicking up to the other older mafia factions who don't even graft anymore, just sitting around on their bollocks all day getting fat.

Surely Spurs are West Coast, which means we get claim to the better rap.
No it doesn't. Absolutely nothing stopping you from forming a league and playing matches.Yes they 100% are, by moving in to a competition not recognised by UEFA or FIFA.
Even playing in a pub Sunday league has to be recognised by your county FA, which feeds into FA, UEFA and ultimately FIFA.
Clubs even have to seek permission from UEFA to play international friendlies.
If the FIFA/UEFA banning players threat happens, players will have strong legal case to walk for nothing if they so desire.
Nope. I just think he wants to play for England that is all, throwaway comment.Out of interest, what has given you the impression that Harry Kane is some selfless martyr of the greater ideals of football? You seem so sure that he's just gonna set millions of pounds on fire to play for Queen and country...why? Because he's a nice polite bloke with a sharp haircut?
Maybe but I wouldn't get my hopes up - I haven't forgotten the downing of tools against Newcastle when we lost like 5-1 against 10 men or something to allow Woolwich to overtake us on the final day of the season.Yes they 100% are, by moving in to a competition not recognised by UEFA or FIFA.

Because even UEFA and FA were corrupt, they still had league title and CL title as something traditional.
Winning ESL means shit noe, but maybe that will change in the future.
Although I don't like the idea, I would rather had us in it then out.
Not if players want to be insured, have a disciplinary system and a qualified referee.No it doesn't. Absolutely nothing stopping you from forming a league and playing matches.
Fucking hypocrite, he wasn't too bothered when Sky wanted to charge £15 for a game during a pandemic.
The teams in it will be trying to win it. They will most definitely care.Who care about winning ANYTHING in a league you don't have to qualify for let alone can be relegated from.
Fuck that this.
Not aggressively , pretty weak , albeit understandable
It's a negotiation, so I could see some weaksauce pro/rel added in the mix:I could get on board with it if it really was an updated version of the CL, but the absence of any promotion or relegation makes the thing so pointless.
We’ll spend the next two decades just mooching around in a lavishly paid hinterland where we get beaten in the new super league and then play meaningless matches in the PL. There is no Top 4, nothing to aspire to.
It’s just a shit sporting framework.
Yep, actually anti UEFA in the end.
