European Super League to be announced tonight - 9:30pm

[asredastheycome]

How do they expect to make any more money through television for games played midweek. Surel everybody who wants to watch European football do so. Anybody else is not going to be interested. I don't have BT and can't remember the last time I watched a European game. Certainly would not pay a subscription for it. I avoid those six teams on PL games if I can.

So if there is no promotion or relegation do you think clubs won't sack their managers if they finish bottom of the super league considering they have a guaranteed income of 300 million?

No because that’s the American model

What’s the bet an MLS side is invited in.

I'm a Championship fan so this isn't of any importance to me.

Football fans are furious about the European Super League, with supporters of the Premier League Big Six going against their teams over the breakaway.
As revealed by Sportsmail, an announcement is expected on Sunday night, outlining plans for an initial 12-team league, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan joining the English sides.
UEFA are outraged too, asserting that 'enough is enough' and vowing to fight-back against the 'cynical project' which would destroy domestic and European football.

Big Six supporters are among those furious about the plans for a new European Super League

The breakaway, plotted by Real Madrid chairman Florentino Perez, had received big backlash​

Supporters are unhappy with the concept which would see the domestic game crumble.


Fans are behind UEFA, sending a tornado of posts slamming the concept.
'Football supporters don’t agree on everything, but I think we can all agree that this idea of a European Super League can absolutely f**k off,' @AnfieldRd96 wrote on Twitter.

@txmejackala added: 'The European Super League literally epitomises what is wrong with this sport. We are seeing a vast amount of billionaires come into the sport and they want nothing, but power and control.

'They do not care about the fans, they see them as customers and they take them for mugs.'

Stan Kroenke, the owner of Arsenal, will be one of the vice-chairman on the cynical project

'This European Super League saga will be framed as a battle of money vs principles, but in reality it is battle of money vs money,' was @anna_woodberry's take.
The league will be a closed-shop affair run by it's founding members, for it's founding members.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will act as chairman having instigated the plot, which is backed by American banking giant JP Morgan.
The vice-chairmen being linen-up are Liverpool's John W. Henry, Joel Glazer of Manchester United and Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke – with Juventus' Andrea Agnelli pulling a U-turn on his intention to back UEFA, planning to become the fourth.

It's not only fans of the clubs set to be left-out of the plot who are furious, with Man United supporter @markgoldbridge writing: 'Absolutely hate the idea of a European Super League. Fans needs to stand together and do what we can do protest against it!.'

'Imagine the type of fans this will breed. If you think the discourse is a mess of entitlement and emotional incontinence now, the Super League will make you yearn for now,' @SebSB added.

Tottenham.

It's really quite laughable that such an unimpressive club with such little prestige and success is being considered part of the European elite.

Not really as spurs are the epitome of this as They’ve always pushed the top 6 mantra in fact it’s prob 6 just to fit them in it.

Man City were playing in the English Third division in 1998 - you would think they understand about what football dreams are about.

Now all clubs are equal but some are much more equal than others with the formation of the new European Super "snouts in the trough" League.

I don't know why people are so against this. Were back in the playoff race.

They, as in their fans, probably do. It's the owners that have zero understanding of the culture, heritage and identity of football clubs.

What absolute parasites these billionaire American, Russian, italian, Spanish, middle Eastern prince's are. Pure greed and I predict the football world will unite to stop this closed shop. Gary neville is spot on. These owners know nothing about the spirit and ethos of football fans in this country. Punish them hard.

Spurs will be supported by a lot of mega rich people due to their cultural connections, the money makes them attractive to this venture.

 

[Borobarmy]

Well as far as I’m concerned they’re making their bed so they can lay in it . Ban them from our domestic game and playing for their countries and never let them back in .

Macron, the President of France has came out and condemned them.

It won't happen but would love our government to condemn them publicly too.

Tea cider, Boris Johnston has indeed condemned this proposal.,

Edit: apologies, Teacider, just seen your post.

This was always the danger with foreign/business owners


when was the last time you ever saw an interview with glazier abramovic Kronky the sheik at city and JOE LEWIS the real owner of spurs ( levy is the mouth piece) based in the Caribbean.

when was the last time you ever heard them talk.

never so I wouldn’t expect any back track anytime soon as they honestly don’t care what people think of them.

 

[Foggysfplandiet3]

If its populist Johnson will be all over it...surely everyone knows this

Oh come on, let’s stick to football shall we and leave the politics out if this, ffs.
