Well that's it for the English Leagues...

[ThePrisoner]

My worry is that they get to have their cake and eat it, fielding a B team in domestic competition, thus devaluing the pyramid in England.

Where have you been? They have been doing that for years.

 

[DimisLegCramps]

you do realise they have already got it starting from next season. no group stages in champs league as it goes in a full league format.

aka a super league of the best teams. UEFA will always bow to them

 

[JackG]

The ruling isn't particularly unexpected and is far from the clearcut victory the Superleague promoters claim. Explainer from the Indie's Miguel Delaney

 

[Perfecthatrick]

I wonder which English teams will get invited to the pig's trough this time around?

It's interesting because we have a top nine now cos of the stupid europa conference (interto Cup!). Personally I'd be upset if villa went into it but they surely deserve it more than utd. Someone else mentioned about fanbase globally and that will probably dicate it.

 

[Zoophonic]

The fans probably want it. Worldwide there will be a big appetite for it even if there isn't domestically.

I think you mean consumers rather than fans there.

 

[The Ruthsayer]

Can’t remember the last time I watched a premier league game.

The last time we were there? Like me.

 

[FishofContemplation]

What's happening with this independent football regulator...

Not even published the bill yet. I’d pretty much guarantee it will be one that lapses and doesn’t become law if there’s an election before the end of the session.

 

[northernrower]

I am pray that this happens and they **** off.

 

[NYboro]

It is a huge loss or we wouldn't be discussing it, the ramifications for domestic league football are huge and we will see teams going to the wall with the possible loss of TV revenue.

Alternatively, they will start to live within their means.

 

[MoggasDog]

Ideal scenario: this pi.ss pot league goes ahead but only Chelsea join from the prem.
I hate them so much.

 

[BiggEggo]

Imagine Man U fans watching their team get spanked every week, rather than every other week .

Liverpool will stay trophy less for another 30 years.

Tea Towel Brigade up the road will also slice their hands off for some action.

 

[BiggEggo]

Maybe not Newcastle as Saudi are very close to FIFA at the moment.

I think you meant 'For the moment'.

Look at what they did for golf.

 

[Osboro]

The fans are hitting the **** here.

 

[The_Big_Woodowski]

I would imagine this would be free to sit to build up support and interest then be moved to a subscription model.. no way they want to give it away for free when money is to be made.

All this BS from Barca and Madrid, the monopoly is over .. (to be ran by the Cartel) , football is Free. Saving football ️.. (means we have over spent and we need this to save us!!)

Complete garbage .. save the few at expense of all other pyramids around Europe.

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Let them go, it's up to the people at the top of the other clubs to stand firm and make sure they do, with no interest in the domestic leagues.

But will they?

 

[Diego]

Man United put out a statement wanting no part of it this time

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Alternatively, they will start to live within their means.

Easier said than one.

Many teams have invested heavily and rely on the money the PL generates through Sky TV. Sky aren't going to continue to pay silly money for a second rate league and due to this they will be casualties.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Man United put out a statement wanting no part of it this time

If other teams go, United will follow.

 

[Diego]

If other teams go, United will follow.

Probably but still as things stand they are against it. Bayern and Sevilla are too

 

[GibbosEmpire]

As a joke Boro should put out a statement they want no part of the Super league too
