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

[r00fie1]

This was inevitable right from the start of the Premier League.
Those with the money do what they like.
Good luck to them.

Sod off to your Super League and the rest of us will take our football back.

Sky will be torn and the Premiership will have its financial head torn off - because the "big" clubs they grandstand as their "flagship" will be out of it, doing what they want.

Sky wont chuck the same money at Burnley V Southampton or Everton V Norwich. Not many Burnley shirts sold in Singapore or Adelaide!!

Ha!
Im laughing my bluddy socks off.

Apart from Rasenballsport Leipzig I can't see any German team signing up for this

The top level of English football sold its soul years ago - this is simply an inevitable extension of it. The powers behind this aren't bothered about the English football fan - they go where the money or the dollar is. The motivation behind this is the massive interest in Asia, Oceania, USA and the Middle East. They will lap it up.

Interesting that Bayern have not thrown their hat into this circus.

Majority fan owned, and no sane fans from the countries themselves would actually want this.

FC Shitehawk.

I notice Barcelona are amongst the 12 - aren't they majority fan owned?

 

[r00fie1]

Hopefully they'll be gone & I would like to see a new Championship, league 1, 2 & 3 to restructure

Yes they'll always be a club, or clubs, the sponsor will pick up as the new darlings to plough money into but fingers crossed not as obscene as it at present

Though it'll never happen

Never say never mate.
They can pizz off to their money tree in the sky.
Good riddance!

Fair point. I do notice PSG have also rejected joining. Bayern and PSG are power houses financially so I wonder if it isn't just "fan power" behind their decision to stand back?

 

[El Guapo]

If we were in the position of joining the league, could you see yourselfs as fans going to away games?
I couldnt spend that much flying around europe, cant even travel around england.

I wouldn’t even go to home games if we were involved. It’d be the end of my interest in the club.

 

[El Guapo]

You know what, everything he's said there is spot on.

Points deductions for bringing the game into disrepute. Fight fire with fire.

Points deduction? No, just expel them full stop.

It's outside the pyramid system, a closed shop, you cannot gain entry on sporting credentials alone.

Got it. Cheers BoroMart

PSG only formed in 1976 by merging 2 unsuccessful and failed clubs.

I went to just one Boro European Home game in the those two glorious years. I went to every away game in those two years. For me Europe was all about travelling to the other countries.

I don't know about the intricacies of how the clubs work, but Barcelona and Real Madrid already get a disproportionate amount of the TV money in Spain, so if the fans do have a major say then they're clearly not that honourable.

Not sure of your point - they are owned by some of the richest people in the world who are clearly not afraid to splash it.
