Will be interesting to see if there's a reaction from UEFA or the historic European super-clubs. This isn't going to be welcomed by likes of Madrid, Juve or Barca any more than by Utd or Liverpool. I guess that was the point of the super league...to remove the threat of this kind of thing to the old order. Maybe the ESL idea isn't completely dead?
The problem is that FIFA could still ban any player participating in a super league from international football.
Plus we really don't want to see a super league. It would be even worse than what happened today.
I don't want that either. Most people I think just want effective FFP, but when City won their legal battle, the old order gave up on UEFA. ESL was the response. Not sure what's worse but watching Saudi buying football glory is pretty bad.
Ok
Throw in Doherty then!
They ain’t that crazy…
Yeah I always hear Dortmund & the German teams being owned by fans but never heard Barcelona were. Not afraid to admit it.
Especially as they are in massive debt as I associated fan owned with being pretty sensibly run like the German sides.
So I guess they messed up by for voting in people who then overspent.
Yeah I always thought they go for good locations so I am surprised about them picking Newcastle. Yep, you would think Newcastle will need to pay at least double the wages to compensate for the drop in levels that teams like city & Chelsea can offer. It does also highlight which players are
about the money. I should have just said mercenaries. I’ve heard the likes of rashford mentioned but I don’t think he will drop down just for more £££. So they will still get a lot of players saying no. But obviously many saying yes please!
Interesting.
Indeed.
It never was dead.
Absolutely not.
Domestically, not sure the ramifications are as far apart as it looks on paper tho'.
Lets see who Newcastle’s new sponsors turn out to be Amanda. I smell bullshit.
Lots of stuttering and mild panic answering those questions. Like a cat trying to bury shit in the kitchen.
She literally LOOKS like a cat too.........
Some BAAAAD plastic surgey going on there......
Jesus christ. Wasn't she a villain on Star Trek?She literally LOOKS like a cat too.........

she looks like bear grylls if he did a gender swap
I think all of these "projects" are the same, even City when they first started this before Abu Dhabi threw it in overdrive. You start by over spending on a few "name" donkies, manager included. Just spunking a ton of cash theoretically puts you near the CL. You have to show commitment to spunking the cash over a couple seasons, then try to appoint a quality manager/DoF to show your ambition and hopefully turn the heads of the better players.Yeah I always hear Dortmund & the German teams being owned by fans but never heard Barcelona were.

The problem being, each time this comes up its harder to do. Chelsea got in first, no one could really compete with Abramovich's wallet so he didn't have the same breaking in period. City took some warming up because players could still go to Chelsea or United at the time, who had better recent success, so they had to well overpay and stick at it even when they weren't getting results. PSG arguably is still at least partially in the "overpay donkies" phase, though they have some crown jewels too. The league holds them back more than anything, but I think the financial collapse of Barca will give them a jolt.
But Newcastle is in Newcastle. And they'll have to outbid United, Chelsea, and City (in ascending order of
