European Super League OFF; Spurs face withdrawal fee

[Juankx]

I can't see what's the problem with "greed". I think some people is using "money" as a meaningless word to hate the system without providing any further arguments.

Don't you want to watch your team playing with the best teams in Europe? Is not Burnley a business in the same way Tottenham, Real Madrid o Barcelona are?

I've got no source on this but wasn't there a whole bunch of noise not too long ago that NFL viewership is massively tanking?

Well, more and more people stream so viewing figures for all sports across the world are down as a result BUT interest in the NFL remains very very high.

Some people have obviously been listening to Trump!

Looking forward to fighting the gooners for 19th place!

If the big six were locked out of the Premier League how much would those that are left have to cut their ST prices by?
The big 6 know that they are the games everyone want to see. How much would BT and Sky pay for Premier League TV rights without them?

Edit. Premier League TV rights £1.7bn. Football League (which is riddled with ex-Prem teams) £120m.

I want to watch my team playing the best if we've earnt it, not buying our way in. Its why i hated what City and the Chavs did. Its called competition. If sport doesn't have that then its nothing.

United chief appointed to UEFA board

United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has earned a senior role with UEFA.

www.manutd.com

The United chief is the only executive in English football to hold the role and is joined by representatives from Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Celtic to form the newly appointed advisory board.

I guess PSG and celtic are going to be a part of this ?

As per premier league they will ban every team which joins this stupid super league

I can’t see this happening , why would sky be paying out to stream PL games without all the supposed big clubs playing? They would be bidding to show the new super league games , it’s all about money !

Curious who has the leverage here. Madrid, United, Liverpool, and Woolwich can't create a league on their own. Juventus and Barca probably as committed.

The other 6 teams + PSG, Bayern and Dortmund may actually decide how this goes.

You don't like the idea of participation medals for finishing last?

Madrid, Barca and Juventus are all financially fucked because of Covid. Wouldn't surprise me if Liverpool and United are losing out on tons of money as well.

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Totally agree. If this goes through, that will be it for me. Will find a local club to go and watch.

I can see local non league teams really benefitting from this. Sad thing is the big clubs won't miss the old fans,they'll replace us with a new lot.

What the actual fuck? There are plenty of arguments about why this is wrong.

Yes I want to see my club playing the best in Europe - on merit. Not a cynical closed shop for plastic owners milking a cash cow.

Are you suggesting the end of meritocracy is okay?

The end of competitive spirit is okay?

Stories you can tell your kids about what your club "achieved" will be finished.

Where are your arguments why this is acceptable? You actually think the Gordon Gekko league will be a good idea?

Whats next, no world cup qualifiers? The big rich countries get guaranteed spots and the rest of the world have to compete with each to qualify for 1 remaining spot.

Don't want to rain on your parade but that's pretty much as it is now...

It’s going to become a game of chicken, who blinks first, but let’s be honest we all know in this games it’s all about the bees and honey!

Boris Johnson says government will try to stop European Super League

Prime minister vows to ‘look at everything we can do’ amid rising anger over breakaway competition

www.theguardian.com

Government are going to see if they can step in to stop it from happening.

Why do you and other Americans think that? are these statistics wrong? or has there been a big reversal last couple of years not yet shared with the statistics companies?

 

[ArtyB]

And for the premier league to be bleating on about showing solidarity during the pandemic, have they somehow forgotten the pay per view debacle?

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

Also if fans think we don't win any trophies currently the you aint seen nothing yet. Winning the super league, laughable. The prem? Forget it, we'll still only be the 5th/6th richest. The league cup will go so that leaves the FA cup. Like it or not most of the excitement we've had over the last 20 years has been around getting top 4. That will be gone and we're left with nothing but making up the numbers.

He's got Mourinho as his avatar mate. Says it all.

Can’t believe you didn’t mention winning the Audi cup!
