true and both the prem and the european super league would be competitors for the same advertising revenue and air time. This could ripple down the leagues and kill many clubs within 3 or 4 years.One thing no one has mentioned yet is what about those that remain as do the Chinese govt continue to bank roll wolves knowing they will never reach the top level of a closed shop.
as will these foreign owners be happy to be “left behind”
Are they threatening to leave the EPL or just UEFA’s champions league?
I can’t see how this effects is. All that will happen is that EVERTON AND west Han will be in the champions league
what am I missing?
Totally agree Jan - greed, greed and more greed.Apparently. 6 English teams, 3 Spanish and 3 Italian as founding members.
Two groups of 10 teams. Top 4 from each group to meet in the quarter-final stage. Midweek competition to begin in a couple years time.
Your move UEFA and FIFA. Ban them from next year's European competitions. Then ban all players from international competitions. Never happen but we can hope.
Well that’s good for us.The Premier League and UEFA are threatening to expel them from all leagues if they go ahead with it.
The FAs will ban players at these clubs from representing the national teams too.
Don't get me wrong I like Neville, he's a smart man, has his ear to ground and gets what the public wants but I'd be very surprised if he turned down a gig commenting on this boys club 'friendly league'.No I don't, I think Gary is a decent guy with a sense of integrity, can't say that for some of the others, but he's a good egg
I think the only way they can join it is by leaving UEFA (as of course they won't sanction this new competition) which means they would have to leave the EPL?Are they threatening to leave the EPL or just UEFA’s champions league?

Great.I think the only way they can join it is by leaving UEFA (as of course they won't sanction this new competition) which means they would have to leave the EPL?
Believe so. They obviously think they hold all the cards. Feel that expelling them would devalue the prem league and have financial impact at the next advertising and TV negotiations. They might have misjudged this.I think the only way they can join it is by leaving UEFA (as of course they won't sanction this new competition) which means they would have to leave the EPL?
It'll kill the financial viability of the league as it stands. Advertising revenue will plummet and clubs will go to the wall. There will be a drain of the best talent in our league, it'll set us back 30 years.Great.
how does that bother us? So when we play Liverpool in the league the normaly empty seat won’t be filled by a plastic scouser
Would it? Or would it just lead to clubs spending their earnings a bit more responsibly and wages coming down.It'll kill the financial viability of the league as it stands.

If wages come down, then players will up sticks to Germany or where ever there is more money. No decent player will accept a wage that's a 1/3rd of what he could get in Germany or in a european league sideWould it?

We’re in the championship. Good.If wages come down, then players will up sticks to Germany or where ever there is more money
Who would run this breakaway PL? The FA have condemned the idea, there will be no governing body to support it.The rest of the PL clubs will be involved as well, there’ll be a breakaway PL as a fast follower as the clubs not in that super group won’t want those in it to leave, so they’ll do anything to grab a piece of the action.
Been coming for years, can’t stop it unfortunately.
The clubs, Set up a new structure.Who would run this breakaway PL? The FA have condemned the idea, there will be no governing body to support it.
