But it’s a tricky situation, you know? Basically, Britain is no longer part of Europe, therefore they need to back UEFA for so many reasons. However, dont forget that it won’t make sense for them to screw the owners of the six clubs. If that happens, the investment community won’t be happy with the UK. You know what that means right? Especially considering the fact that COVID has humbled every economy.

Tricky situation, the government should not interfere, or better still, tell UEFA to negotiate.

The Government takes on Corporations ten times the size of this league every day if any of those owners think the Government won’t grind them into the ground they are sorely mistaken. Any politician will use this to score cheap points for themselves especially Boris.
Boris was rubbing his hand the second his assistant told him about this.Easy PR points especially in the middle of an pandemic for someone looking to extend his stay. They are bleeped.

Taking on UEFA is one thing taking on the Governments is another.They will never allow this to happen.

The ones that earns millions of pounds every year from their clubs, as against the paltry 5k dollars appearance fee they receive from their countries per game which they get to play twice or thrice every 3 months

And you think playing for your nation is about money? You think giving the chance to represent Brazil in the World cup or Psg in the champions league Neymar will pick Psg? Or Ronaldo playing in the world cup with Portugal or champions with juventus he will pick juve?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Most key players of some countries are in these Super league clubs. So who do you think would be crying if those players are banned?

DeBruyne, Messi, Ronaldo, Ramos, and so on are vital to their country. Ban them and see their countries begging, instead of them

I don't think any player would want to go against this. The reward is obviously massive[/color]

That's the incentive to push them to come out and oppose the superleague. Messi won't want to miss the World cup same with Ronaldo not playing for Portugal again. Uefa and fifa has so many tricks to play.

Havertz10:
players value their club more than their country


One gives them food and lifestyle, the other is just formalities

Which player told you that?

OJURONGBE1:
How many of the players have come out ?
Ander Herrera that left Man United cos he was offered a bigger pay package at PSG? Nigga please...........
If you know how much is in the offering for players of these clubs, dem gan self go dey pray silently for ESL to come to fruition.

And how many players have told you they love the superleague idea?

OJURONGBE1:
I tell you, once the ESL get the biggest brands on their side then UEFA are done for.

Biggest brands? The players are not even on their side because they have a lot to lose from the super league.

He's the prime minister , so what?
He's no different from the other MPs. Politics is more complex that just the Prime minister or President having a final say on things, except they are not practicing democracy.
These guys are not dumb o. They have access to the best of lawyers in the world. They obviously didn't break any law, that is why even FIFA and UEFA haven't brought out anything to counter them, they are still consulting after over 24 hrs of announcement and they are yet to bring out any UEFA rule they broke. The only best thing UEFA president could do was rant in front of camera and issue threats without any legal standing.

The fact that these big guys are so confident about it shows that they probably found a loop hole to exploit. The next best thing UEFA can do is to eat the humble pie and renegotiate with these big boys.

Europe is not a banana republic, Any illegal declaration by any government or UEFA will be met with strong lawsuits by these big clubs and both clubs and UEFA probably knows that there will be no winner.

UEFA lost all the cards when they failed to implement FFP rules to the letter to curtail the big boys , now they can't deal with the monsters they made. Let them enjoy what they created

It seems you think Britain is still part of the E.U
Britain is no longer in the European union thanks to brexit so they can make any law they want against whatever that's not in the countries interest. If they consider the superleague a non legitimate tournament they can deny work permit to those clubs that means no foreign players van be signed. Fifa and Uefa can ban their players from participating in their competition meaning no World cup and Euros for them. England Football Fa can ban English players playing for the big 6 from being called up to the national team as well or even signing English players.

I never knew people can be this dull. It seems they think clubs don't follow rules and regulations in a particular country they operate in. Imagine asking who is Boris the prime Minister of freaking Britain.

seankafor:
who is boris?
He can't stop shiit my friend.

If you don't know anything then keep shut.

I doubt it.

Big cooperations all over the world budget for politicians lobbying money as part of their running cost. These guys are not dumb , they are smart, and they have smart and intelligent people I'm their employ who does crisis management for them and have anticipated the government getting involved

Infact , politicians are the least of their problems because most of these politicians are owned by these big cooperations

It seems you think we are talking about just any politician. Here is the prime minister comment on the superleague Link https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-european-super-league-b1833689.html%3famp. Their is no lobbying here on something that will destroy England top league.

timay:
The British government also got involved in 1992 during the creation of EPL from the national league, at the end of the day, the big clubs had their way and the government ended up forcing the hand of the FA to let them be.

It's about lobbying bro. Infact, politicians are the easiest for big firms to lobby when the big firms want to have their way.
Also, do you guys think these clubs haven't budgeted for this? or you think they just woke up yesterday and started bringing up Super league idea without looking at the possibilities, both legal and political?
Something that Perez and his American friends have been planning for over 10 years

They didn't plan on the British government getting involved that's for sure. Both scenarios are not the same one bit. Britain has nothing to gain From the creation of a superleague rather it harms their domestic league. Their is no lobbying the Prime minister on this occasion when the entire nation is against it.

Havertz10:
All these fans and pundits shouting that it wouldn't happen don't understand how big firms work


They already know that all these will happen, every wail and threat was budgeted for


Who remembers when uefa wanted to ban man city for 2 years, una no ask why uefa lost the case at court of arbitration uefa isn't as powerful as you think, only man city humble them, last time that kind humbling happen na scientology vs IRS for America


They can't be banned cause there is no law that justifies it, super league is here to stay, as fans accept change and stop being sentimental about old practices

As long as the british government has getting involved then its a different ball game. They are various laws they can enact that will strangle all the big teams in England. Infact they can deny working permit to all their players and even deny them from buying foreign players. They can also ban them from signing home grown players.

Greenwood has been poor tonight

hensben:
Nothing wrong being a system player just that it’s a big disadvantage if you play for a team with no culture who hire and fire managers at will like Chelsea, Madrid, etc. If Pep succeeded in signing Jorginho then he would’ve being hailed to high heaven by now as the best CDM in epl and the world but unfortunately he is in Chelsea.

Systematic players are easily exposed, it’s selected managers that can use them.

So system players like Messi, Iniesta, Xavi etc will be easily exposed if they had gone elsewhere?

hensben:
First and foremost the primary duty of a CDM is to defend, do dirty work for the team before passing. Secondly, Bousquet is a system player, if he play for any team not Barcelona he will seen as average player. Casemiro beat him hands down. If Jorginho was to be in Barca during xavi and iniesta era he will be hailed to high heaven, that’s how you will be seeing him to be great.
Individually, Madrid trio will perform better.

Is Xavi, Iniesta and Messi not system players as well? What is bad in being a system player?

England Midfield option is stacked. Players like Bellingham could even missed the Euros. I hope we won't regret not buying this boy.

Smh liverpool


0 shots.

Awful awful.. very awful.

Blame Firmino. He is the problem of Liverpool.

Lana1:
The reasonable ones among us wont let lunatics convince us that Lingard is some kind of baller.

Below is Lingard's appearances under Mourinho before he was sacked.

But sure, Ole is the clueless one who didn't know how to use him. Man's even had 2 goals and an assist in Ole's first game before he started to blank.

Don't be surprised when Fred leaves United and start performing elsewhere people will still complain here how he wasn't used properly. Agenda must agenda.

Why is no one selling to us how good David Moyes is or its only restricted to ex players or those on loan performing?

Illimitable:
Facts will always beat emotions.

I said provide two matches where Ole played Lukaku on the wing

Illimitable:
He asked for a transfer when Ole started disrespecting him. Ole wanted to play him as a winger to accommodate Martial or Rashford as the centre forward.

I kid you not, Ole is a lunatic.

Can you provide two matches where Ole played Lukaku as a winger?

iamoyindamola:
Zidane started from their 2nd tier same with Pep

And so what's the difference?

iamoyindamola:
The new trend of hiring rookies and giving them the biggest jobs of their career is just plain stupidity

Barca---Pep
Madrid---Zidane

Where does club stupid?

CapitalCee:
Barca of 2008-2012 did not lose 3 times to chelsea, you may need to stretch your hands backwards to accommodate that number

Read properly

Bombblacks:
There is nothing best about that barca side. Barcelona between '08-'12 lost against Shaktar, Wisla Krakow, Rubin Kazan, Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea and drew against Basel, Lyon, Chelsea (x3), Bayern, Inter, Rubin Kazan (x2), Stuttgart, Arsenal, Copenhagen, Madrid and Milan (x2) . Away from home they where also useless . 6 losses and 15 draws over a four year period.

popizaino:
The goal was not to win home and away but to knock out their opponents. Take a look at how they won the first leg in Madrid during 2011 semi finals, only to just secure a draw a even without trying infront of their home crowd and at the end of the day they still won the trophy .

For a side acclaimed for their dominance, their style of play was useless away from home in the Champions league. 6 losses and 15 draws over a four year period away from home shows how flawed and how overrated their style of play was.

popizaino:
Lol....their passes were never baseless,it was their weapon to unsettle every team.

It was baseless and boring. It was even useless away from home in the Champions league. P

Illimitable:
They were games they didn’t really need.

But for Mourinho’s satanic football in 2010 CL semis, Barca would have won 3 CL titles in a row(2009, 2010, 2011).

One could also argue their bus trip to Milan from Barcelona because of the Icelandic ash polluting the sky also caused an enormous amount of fatigue to their players and they lost 3-1.

By the time the 2nd leg was due to be played, The ashes have cleared and Inter flew by air to Barcelona - which gave them a massive advantage to defend the 3-1 lead in the first leg.

Mourinho got lucky with that one.

All these are excuses. Their away record was terrible in the champions league and all their champions league trophy won during that period were controversial. The MSN Barca of 2014 that won the Treble was even better than those boring Barca sides yet no one is calling them the greatest side of all time. It's just nostalgic covering them.

Illimitable:
One could easily argue they were the best team ever between 2008 and 2012.

Barcelona were fearless, they didn’t change their tactics for over 4 years against some of the toughest teams in Europe. Everyone knew how Barcelona would line up and you are still more likely to lose to them.

Their opponents changed tactics to stop them, Barca did not change anything. The trifecta of Xavi, Iniesta & Busquets damaged many teams. They took the same format to the World Cup in South Africa and Euro 2012, every team they faced in the KO stage got destroyed.

Best team that was useless away from home. All their champions league trophy won was controversial. They were a good side not great or best.

Leyqute:
Are you saying that Barca side is the best in the history of football?

There is nothing best about that barca side. Barcelona between '08-'12 lost against Shaktar, Wisla Krakow, Rubin Kazan, Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea and drew against Basel, Lyon, Chelsea (x3), Bayern, Inter, Rubin Kazan (x2), Stuttgart, Arsenal, Copenhagen, Madrid and Milan (x2) . Away from home they where also useless . 6 losses and 15 draws over a four year period.

popizaino:
Yes they are the greatest side. ...not even arrigo sachi's Milan or zidane's Madrid side that won the ucl 3x consecutively could stand in their way .

I hate that Barcelona side. Wish I could be objective but it's never gonna happen, they were boring. 1000 baseless sideways passing. Not my kind of football.

BikeMan:
Mickey Mouse trophies that Ole can't play in their finals?

Now what does that make the Norwegian Tax Collector? A fvcking disgrace

Put this energy into your team fighting for 4th with West Ham. Thank you

Joezinho:
Efl cup..

Imagine Bragging about winning the Efl cup and community shield. Mickey mouse trophies. How many of those did Ferguson win?
