The Super League

[kiwiturk]

What an U-turn from the club's.

Football belongs to people not to Cooperations, Business Moguls or money crazed a few individuals.

Any news on the rest of them? Madrid etc 

Just goes to show how full of crap they were, if they genuinely believed it was for the good of the game and financial improvements all across the pyramid they would not have sacked it off after less than 48 hours

Fans need to lobby for ticket prices, silly kick off times and the state of the beer selection in grounds

I have been entertained by some top performers over the years... Berkamp wowed me, Tierry Henry mesmerized me. Some amazing wingers, Ronaldo on another lvl and the thought of never having seen the top of the top play my Leicester City again was leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth.

 

How can you be proud at winning the Premier league if you haven’t even beaten the ‘big six’ teams of the country?

Totally agree. 

 

These teams have brought superstars to play Leicester over the years, to compete, on a level.

 

Dalglish. Hoddle. Beckham and Giggs  Klinsmann. Henry and Bergkamp. De Bruyne. Vialli and Zola. I could go on.

And balti pies

Personally I’m going to boycott any game that features 2 of these clubs. I’m not adding to their stats. They are done for me.

 

I can live without all the 0-0’s

Fine them all 50m, distribute that down the football pyramid.

Double it and then I could get behind it. They can all afford it!

Chairman Daniel Levy said: “We regret the anxiety and upset caused by the ESL proposal. We felt it was important that our club participated in the development of a possible new structure that sought to better ensure financial fair play and financial sustainability whilst delivering significantly increased support for the wider football pyramid.

 

“We believe that we should never stand still and that the sport should constantly review competitions and governance to ensure the game we all love continues to evolve and excite fans around the world.

“We should like to thank all those supporters who presented their considered opinions.”

 

 

 

Twat!

Perez is due to be back on tv tonight, should be fun 🤣

[Fox in the North]

Glad that they’ve backtracked, but repercussions need to be followed through now.

[CosbehFox]

The amount of media figures now all of sudden saying it’s all okay is fcuking sickening. These six clubs are going to get total shit when fans are back. They are a total and utter disgrace. Part of me thinks even more so that they were just shitbags

[Mike Oxlong]

Maybe this ESL will end up with Real Madrid playing Real Madrid reserves 30 or so times a season 

 

Sign me up !

I'm not sure I can see the Spanish sides backing down. They are all on the verge of bankruptcy and can't afford not to have the super league. I reckon they'll be going on a sleazy tour of the world to find teams they see as worthy to join them. 

[urban.spaceman]

Just imagine the amount of money they spend just joining this thing. 

[Fightforever]

The inner conspircay theorist within me thinks this was planned out to be this way.

 

Why only cancel after 48 hours?

 

Why would the American owners back down so quickly?

 

Why would Sky pundits come out against the super league when Sky has been screwing fans for ages and they would stand to benefit from the super league?

 

Why not annouce it once the season has finished?

 

Looking at the stock prices of the clubs after the ESL announcement I can only begin to think that some sort of fraud has gone on something possibly deeper than football.

 

Could it be they just wanted to force through the UCL reforms but even then they were announced prior to the ESL without much protest so I doubt that.

 

This seems very off. I doubt the official reasoning heavily.

Problem is they all have to pay a 200 million fine to the Real Madrid president which bails Real Madrid out of their debts
