No it's not. The PL has been about money for years. They don't care what goes on, what their fans want. The idea of a super league has been banded about for the past decade or so.

Can't agree. Leicester City dared to upset the applecart back in 2016 and as I've said before this made, not just, football sit up and listen but irritated certain Clubs who not only thought it was impossible but have been unable to accept it.

 

This latest plan, I agree, has been in the making for years and probably the 'Big 6' see it as a natural progression from the EPL when that was formed back in 1992. Of course it's all about money, no-one is doubting that. Money, it is often said, is the root of all evil and this latest revelation just proves it. The EPL bubble will burst one day and these want-a-way Clubs see it as another cash cow to be milked for all it's worth.

If this does happen, we can probably sell JM10 to a super-league sh1t for about £300million.

 

Imagine how many Nicky Maynards we can buy? We could even probably finally get Jason Koumas.

 

Every cloud.

Their contribution is fed by their right to dream – a right we share a collective responsibility to protect.

 

:appl::appl::appl::appl::appl::appl:

 

 

 

I thought they would make reference to dreaming in some way and I am so glad that they did. Perhaps unwittingly I feel like that is now our role in football, to be the protectors of dreams. I almost feel like that is our moral obligation having had the football gods smile down upon us to make it happen in the first place. Whether it's us or another team, it doesn't matter. Football is about trying to live the dream to earn the glory of winning. That cannot be sold out for any price!

 

As Claudio once said, we must continue to dream! And that applies to ALL fans of EVERY club. Football belongs to everyone!

Tbh they're in the shit now. No other clubs want anything to do with it. Nows the time to really go after them. A 12 team 'super league' will be ****ing shit. Just boot em out. The glory boys will follow the players and trophies not the clubs.

Seriously, I think this is why there are six. I know I'm being a bit flippant and obviously I'm bloody witty as hell and but I'm preaching the truth here guys. I'm spitting facts. I'm not just reading between the lines... I LIVE between the lines. I've sniffed out an uncomfortable truth here. This is far more calculated than we ever know.

 

I reckon you've been sniffing some lines...

Just seen Dean Smith on SSN with a great take on it.

 

Great words from him, as covered here in the Birmingham mail:

 

Quote

"Where I stand on it: I am deeply, deeply saddened by it and disappointed in all honesty.

"There have been some strong statements that have come out already from some clubs within the Premier League and England itself.

"I think the one thing from where I look at it...I was born in 1971, 50 years ago, and at that time Villa were a third division club.

"Eleven years later I watched them lift the European Cup, which is the pinnacle - now the Champions League trophy.

"And that was the dream, they earned the right to do that by winning the League the previous season.

"While I understand that competitions evolve, I liked the European Cup being the winners of the Leagues and the UEFA Cup being the other four and then the Cup Winners's Cup.

"And it changed and I understand that and it needed to because of the finances that were coming into the game.

"The Champions League in its format probably needs to evolve now and change, but to then create your own Super League from where there is no relegation and promotion, it just totally baffles me.

"Because it actually takes away the competition for people to go and reach the Champions League final.

"I dreamt of becoming a Premier League manager and my next dream is to break into the Champions League places and challenge again with Villa.

"If this format goes ahead and the concept which, I have seen it stated already, is being made for the good of football.

"For me it is not for the good of football, it is totally a commercial venture.

"Football and sport in general is about competition and this is not competition when you ahve six clubs out of England joining a European Super League.

"When the Premier League was formed in 1992 it was the 'Big Five' and Everton were part of that.

"Everton are suddenly now not part of the 'Big Six' why? What defines the 'Big Six'?

"Is it the history and trophies you have won? Is it the size of your stadium or is it your turnover? It is a question that has gone on and on for years and years.

"And the one thing for me that has always stood out, in sport there has never been certainty.

"If there was you would never get what was a brilliant Liverpool team beaten by Wimbledon in the FA Cup final.

"You would never get Leicester, who get promoted, nearly get relegated and then win the Premier League the following year.

"You do not get that unless you have competition.

Chelsea fans next to protest

 

 

 

They should picket the players entrance. Make them go through the turnstiles and climb over the barriers to get to the changing rooms.

Not the players fault and they shouldn't be put in a position where they feel threatened. The players could make such a powerful statement here though in the way they react to those protesting fans.

No, it's not the players fault, but it would embarrass the club and make the news all around the world. these kinds of protests are the only weapons us fans have.
