Laslas, all interested parties will end up negotiating one way or the other.

True

Scenes when EPL deducts like 20 points from the participating teams, and Arsenal fly into the relegation zone

On a more serious note, UEFA fit just punish Chelsea, City and Real Madrid by rewarding PSG with the UCL title for being the best behaved student.

The question is, would any sensible person even recognize that kind of trophy??

FIFA and UEFA must continue what they do. The Super League will probably go to the courts at some point but even if they win the right to self determination, the local league and the champions league must go on.
They simply need to replace the outcasts with other teams and continue as normal.
The SL is not a sustainable project, it will likely hit brick wall later because its foundation is faulty.
It's the league that made these clubs not the other way.

they already did all the digging

They know that they have the right to do it, they arent owned by uefa or fifa, if fifa and uefa aren't wise they will lose relevance, I said this yesterday, monkey done wise.

Since this is our last season in UCL, we have to win it.

Money or no money, I don't like the idea of European Super League. League wey go be like Yankee sports, no promotion, no relegation. No top 4 to aim for because you are already in the European elite competition. So if you are not in contention to win the league, the season will be dry as fück. I guess they'll have to introduce Playoffs to liven up the season. This is bolløcks.

Football is the Biggest sport in the world


The clubs arent making enough money to match their fame

I don't blame them, if you are an investor, you have to win the champions league 5 times in a roll, beg for sponsorship in order to make good money

With the kind of attention football gets it's disappointing, 3 billion euro no be bean, champions league will lose it's relevance fast

Whoever wins the super league not only gets bragging rights but you are financially solvent for a while

Guess they'll have to do it NFL/NBA style.

Hmm

Perhaps UEFA/FIFA/FAs should pump more money into their leagues/cups.

If the big clubs are not there that money will be wasted. The average Chinese or Korean fan is not interested in watching West Ham face Sassuolo in the Champions League when the next channel is showing Barca vs Liverpool in the Super League.

The only way to salvage the current arrangement is if the clubs' share of the Champions League pot is decided by a combination of marketability and performance rather than the egalitarian system we have now. The big clubs want a bigger share of the pot based on the fact that they are the ones who attract the most fans and also have the best performances.

BlueMann:
Apparently Chelsea and City were backed into a corner and forced to join, for fear of being left out, cos money no be their problem. It's the US-owned clubs who are leading the charge.

Stop typing what you don't know they all went for the money unless they plant and grow money at Stamford bridge.
They also put a gun to Madrid and Barcelona president head abi

Oga na money matter o, for those 12 clubs, accepting the invitation dem say na 400+ mil.

Las las na the players and agents go chop the money.

Ever since Leagues and UCL been getting more and more TV money, clubs still dey post humongous losses while players salaries keep skyrocketing.

Madrid President is the starter of all these and currently the chairman of the Super league

Barcelona are currently in debt about 1 billion or so, so no way they are turning down the offer

It's only in England that we still have some sort of competition.

The scenario you're describing is already in play in France, Germany, and Italy where the same club wins the league every year. In Spain it's slightly better because it's either Madrid or Barcelona, but most of these other leagues are hardly competitive.

For me, I think this was always the logical conclusion of continuing to play games in empty stadiums. I used to go to some sort of sporting event at a stadium at least twice a month for years until Covid happened, but now most clubs realise that the 'fan effect' is not that important, and so they don't need niggas like me anymore as long as international TV money dey.They no longer have to pay lipservice to the the domestic and local fambase, and they no longer have to pretend they matter

Then of course, Manyoo, Chelsea and Liverpool will definitely say that since it's international TV money everyone is chopping, they obviously shouldn't be earning the same as Burnley or Southampton and their European counterparts.

This exact scenario has been playing out here in Rugby Union premier League too. They've been trying to turning their equivalent of the EPL to a closed shop with no relegation or promotion from the Championship. It's just that Saracens (Rugby's equivalent of a Manyoo in their prime) got a severe points deduction last season for breaching wage caps and were relegated to the championship as punishment. They are going to be back next season, and the shop will be closed finally, with a solidarity payment thrown the championship like a bone to a hungry dog.

ESL is inevitable, because somehow along the line sport was allowed to become big business.

The only thing that I dislike is the permanent membership. Maybe if they find a way to maintain permsnt stakeholders without playing every season, then I would back it fully, but regardless this thing is here to stay.

Honestly that caraboa should be scrap or make it voluntary cup

How will transfers even work? Supposing the FAs carry out their threats to cut off these clubs.

These people should not spoil this game for us oo

This Super League of a thing is nonsense.

Dan Roan on twitter:
"According to source, some of those involved in ESL call traditional supporters of clubs “legacy fans” while they are focused instead on the “fans of the future” who want superstar names
*ESL insists modelling shows solidarity payments will be boosted £10bn Euros over 23 seasons)

Legacy fans kwa?

So I be legacy fan?

Absolute, you are simply telling the other clubs they are irrelevant!
