Las las, Fifa will still sanction them...

PSG would win the championship's league cos uefa will favour them cos they still stood on their grounds to resist the controversial European league

I knew d super league will collapse but dis will force UEFA into making serious changes in UCL , like the number of participating clubs should be increased to accommodate some big clubs that miss out on top four,
Number of matches Played should be increased by changing from group method to league method.
Thirdly, the amount given to teams should be increased too, imagine just giving 19M Euro to the champions of UCL, money that can't even buy a descent player, these clubs spend a lot and UCL makes enough money which should be distributed justly to the clubs that brought in the money

Uefa collect 7bn from mars for this covid era. Bad governance for nigeria don really affect some of una brain. No competition,no tv rights,no sponsorship deal, dem just collect 'imaginary' 7bn tk settle clubs.Dem settle dem nai d clubs dey write legal documentation for their exits.Even the lowest class of animals no dey reason like diz.

They actually partnered with a Swiss bank for a $7Bn sponsorship deal.


But while it is reported that they offered the English teams money, I don't think they can give them everything realised from the sponsorship deal.

I told him the esl was already failing even before it started. He should just google about what Chelsea fans did before he brings his pdp/apc propaganda to football.

As in eh.. it's that easy to get the right info but i guess some peopld just thrive on agending

Walkee:
you are a gullible mugu. The media bank on single digit iq's like you for propaganda. The 7bn was offered to the 6 English clubs and nothing for the Spanish clubs

Why? What’s the incentive for a good season if they’re guaranteed CL football?
Nigerians (and most foreigners) don’t usually see beyond money, but what makes the great is the prospect of upward mobility.

I never even understand all these wahala

Pls someone explain better to me in pidgin pls

In summary, the (traditional) top clubs in Europe were approached by BANKERS to break away from their national leagues to form a 15-club NO-RELEGATION NO-PROMOTION “league” and share billions in television and other commercial revenue. Sort of like WWE wrestling.

which covid affected business? Every single billionaire on planet earth expanded their net worth during the covid pandemic. Covid only affected small businesses. Follow the news and stop swallowing propaganda. There's a link from mundodepotivo up there. MD is the most reliable news source in Spanish football. Don't expect the British propaganda machine to report on it since it will tarnish their Messiah image. You kids on Nairaland are very foolish and disrespectful and also very dull no wonder illiterate politicians use your destinies to play lotto

can you please ignore the idiot? You are wasting your time explaining to him. Imagine him even talking as if twitter is the source of the fund.

Don't agree with the super league. However it is ironic that premiership fans are happy for a chance to qualify in one of four positions while the actual champions of other countries in Europe cant qualify without jumping through hoops. Scotland, Holland, turkey etc. The champions league is a competition that is not about champions but more money. Everything is about money, imagine a player on a 500k a week complaining about how money have ruined the game, when in fact they won’t hesitate to jump ships when offered better deal.

Football(Soccer) is acclaimed to have started in England and as a result of that,the English people see the game as theirs. ESL is an idea mostly by Americans and the English people sees this move as a threat to them controlling the Football world which they supposedly own.
To me,this whole reactions from the English people(clubs,fans,pundits(Gary Neville and co.),ex players(predominantly of British origin),British Govt.,the Royal Family etc) is all about politics than about football because come to think of it,why have we not seen protest from Spain or Italy which have clubs amongst the breakaway teams?
The English people are ganging up against the ESL which is very likely to damage their league and I wish they can all remember that they sold the game out the day Foreigners started buying clubs in the Premiership or are they forgetting that these club owners are in the business to make gains?.ESL is promising the club owners massive gain and so the Foreigners who have absolutely no idea about the traditions of these clubs they now own will gladly hop on the bus ESL is riding in order to make profits.
The ESL will likely resurface in the nearest future and if UEFA don't pay attention to the breakaway teams complaints then I believe they will join the League eventually and await whatever sanction FIFA/UEFA are claiming they can hand down to the breakaway teams.
By the way, who else have noticed that UEFA is a weak institute because instead of them threatening breakaway teams with sanctions,they should have bring something very interesting to counter the ESL formation.

Eya ... Gunners we’re getting ready to be playing with the big boys

BarrElChapo:


Proof or shut the hell up.. You have all the information you need tv, social media, the internet yet you choose to be dumb

This issue made me realize people support what they know nothing about. If that ESL prevailed, that's the end of football.
Madrid and Barca takes almost 70% of laliga TV right while others share the remaining, if ESL should happen, CL money will drop further. Perez is not concerned about the small clubs, all he wants is more.
I'm a barca fan, but I'll never support evil.
And yes, this victory belongs to the fans, we fought rigorously on Twitter, ESL had over 2m tweets as at yesterday morning, there was protests in England and Spain, was that done by FIFA or UEFA? Many people don't know the power of media. It was what gave UEFA and FIFA the ginger, if we had all supported it, the clubs won't back down.

Ogarico, this is not about the politics alone. The ESL idea is evil in nature. Football is a game where we compete, but when a particular 15clubs have a permanent seat while 5 fight their ways in every year, hows that a competition? How does this ESL cater for the smaller teams?
Arsenal couldn't beat Fulham, Chelsea played 1-1 with Brighton, Liverpool played 1-1 with Leeds. So how are they super? Everybody should compete. I won't have had a problem with the ESL if it is opened to every club.
Arsenal and Tottenham that have never won the CL are among the SUper while Ajax that have won more than once didn't make it, same for Porto that have won it in this millennium and still gives good account during this current CL campaign. Abeg, the formation is nonsensical in nature. This is not only about British politics.

So after posting this, you still don't understand what you are posting?
These clubs earn money for every stage, now add all the money to see how much the winner has made in total.
After that, the clubs makes money on TV right, gate takings, and other places hidden charges.

This life is about competition. Any season these clubs don't qualify for CL, they lose big money and someone is offering you a deal where qualifying will no longer be necessary, you'll always be in the Super league every season, what will happen to the zeal to win? when even in the Super league, you can't relegate.
Please, let's be careful for what we wish for.

I'm not supporting any of them(ESL OR EPL),I'm saying that the whole English reactions is more about politics than about the game.What I'm saying is,if ESL had succeeded; that would have been Americans controlling European Football.
Talking about Ajax you mentioned,will you as a football fan compare what any of the 12 breakaway teams spend on players,managers and staffs yearly to what Ajax spends in a year and by the way haven't you noticed that all the breakaway teams making up ESL are super rich clubs or does the Ajax you mentioned worth close to the least club on the Super League?

Emvico34:

For what?? They dare not, FIFA is just an organization based on agreement not a dictatorship. A club can walk away if they like it’s within their rights. A country can also walk away from Football it’s also with their rights if they don’t agree.

They will just be isolated from others under fifa that’s all.

The Super Clubs are not super rich after all, they are all in huge debt.
The likes of Ajax, Bayern, Porto and co are example of what football should look like. They are nowhere on the debt list because they are not spending stupid money.
If Barca signs De jong that earns around €50k and starts paying him €320k/week. Tell me how they won't run into debt? The big clubs destroyed football and they want to destroy it more because how on earth will you want to play a league where you can never relegate or not qualify from coming the next season if you don't do well?
That won't be football anymore, it'll be something else. if my team should lose, I won't be pained because losing comes with no consequences by then.

I totally understand wetin you talk bro.
My own bi say make those British racist colonizers no tell us say na just football dey make them para,make them come clear about the politics part and make them know say na them spoil things by themselves from when them begin sale clubs to foreigners and make UEFA sef sit up.

Dude you sound so naive.. Do you think it was FIFA or UEFA or the governments' that stopped the Super League ? No.. it was the fans, you and me and the players worked the victory here.

The money is not in the prize, the money is in the viewership and endorsements for playing football. UCL gave them a platform and made them big.

They were just traitors. I am glad my Chelsea and EPL pulled out of that madness. La Liga and Serie A can enjoy their Super League

FIFA's hammer is strong o! No player on earth wants to loose the opportunity to play in the world cup.
Any player who decides to shun to world cup for this super league ehh, his people will swear for him

Imagine world cup without Aguero,messi,Rinaldo,debruyne,hazard,neymar,pogba,mpape,Rasford and the best players in the world, will you watch that world cup?that one is not even world cup because many people won't watch. So all this FIFA you people are hailing did nothing. It's the fans the forced the clubs to pull out,which nonsense FIFA?

Y can't 19m euros buy a descent player? How much was used to buy hazard? Is he a "descent player"?

What do u mean by "distributed justly"? Which club playing in d UCL doesn't bring in d money?

BarrElChapo:


You're crazy ! If he does any of the following then it concerns him.

1. Supports any European Club
2. Subscribe either his Dstv/Gotv or pays his local viewing center agent to watch them, this generates TV revenue for the club.
3.Follows them on social media and regularly discusses about them, this engagement helps in making the club a global brand and the more the reach, the more in income for the club as potential investors want their brands to be seen worldwide.
4. So you see among others why it concerns him right ?

nonsense, which of these will stop with the introduction of Esl

are you from Europe? Wetin consign u with European problem? Have u ever pray for Nigerian league to be improve? Nigeria league can't do a proper player unveiling is it not a big problem we have at hand? What benefit will u gain from their withdrawal? Oga wetin consign u?
