suggest English, Italian & Spanish FA’s would consider the cancellation of current seasons or not awarding trophies to winners involved in the Super League. Mind-blowing.

Where are they going? There's going to have to be some serious negotiations in adjusting pay given that drop in club income, but that'll be across the board and will effect the entire game. Unless those break away clubs come into buy them (something they can do previously anyway) then where will they go? I could see that in the first window the power will be on the player (and their agent) if one of the break away clubs are interested in them. But it'll soon readjust. 

 

This fear of loss of money is kind of what they want. They want people to fear, to see this as some natural state being taken away from them. It's part of their power. But there's nothing to fear. Football in the past did fine without the crazy money that circulates now.

Fofana retweeting some of the condemnation tweets 

[FoxCal]

Fofana retweeting these;

 

 

I’m assuming retweets to be endorsements of their sentiments, so in a week where he’s been linked with a ‘Super League founder’, it’s good to see he seems uninterested in the entire notion.

 

Hoping to see a lot of players suggest similar tomorrow.

Imagine all these clubs being so shit scared of Leicester City taking their Champions League spot they are ****ing off to make a new league. HAHAHA

Hope UEFA and the Prem don't bottle it and actually tell them to get fvcked.

Again I ask what about ticket prices?You can’t devalue a competition by kicking out the main draw and expect to still charge top wack.This would have serious ramifications for the lower leagues who let’s face it are already fecked.

I've started watching the show "24" recently.  There's an often referred to policy of not negotiating with terrorists.  There's a reason for that policy.  Extreme semantics aside, this isn't that far off from what's happening.  They are counting on people thinking the PL needs these 6 clubs.  They don't.  Things may be different without them both short term and long term.  But to admit that 6 clubs control the sport and organization of that sport is something that cannot happen.  There are going to be negative consequences to what's happening regardless at this point.   #snowflakesix

Wasn't it created by Old Etonians?

I don't think it would. There will be a lot of football fans going to watch lower league clubs. The timing of this is very deliberate. They have exploited covid. But soon that will be gone and people will want to get back to watching real football matches. The lower leagues (and less fashionable clubs) could benefit massively in terms of crowds. And I can't see that many people paying to watch this shit show (I won't). The market they have identified (china) is very fickle. I can't tell you how much I want them to fail.

Interested to see if any of the managers walk away. Klopp especially given he condemned the idea publicly in the past.

 

Doubt it though. They'll be on top dollar

They were in and around it though I won’t pretend to have an in depth knowledge of football’s inception. They certainly tried to gatekeep in the early days of the FA, at the very least.

 

Depends how literally you want to take the message. I’d take it more as the game has ultimately been built on the backs of the working class, even if the reality was - and very much still is - the rich being the beneficiaries.

I agree.However we have posters who seem to think that kicking the six out will have little to no negative consequences.I’m more worried about the non league clubs I follow tbh.

[urban.spaceman]

Can't believe he left out Gunnersaurus.

 

 

 

[Manwell Pablo]

Absolute disgrace.

 

I feel sorry for the true supporters of all the clubs involved who will feel left behind.

 

Will do whatever I can on a personal level to stop it getting off the ground.

We already lose our best players to those clubs anyway. 
 

What happens is a massive correction in income, but that means a massive correction in outgoings. Wages plummet, but so do transfer fees. You go back to the days of players being in a few grand rather than 100,000 and championship players got a million or two rather than 30 million.

I hope this is the case.I’m fearing that after a lot of threats,hot air and bluster, this will go through with a few tweaks and promises of drip down cash,and that in a decade the mid week super league will be part of the furniture.

Spot on. And it would be no bad thing.
