They've actually made UEFA/FIFA look like the good guys which is some achievement.
I really hope they call their bluff and tell the clubs to piss off
What a load of shite (the idea of it).Yes I’m certain the compromise to squash the idea is to play premier games around the world especially the Far East
Theres a subtle but important difference. The past occurrences have basically just been revamps of existing competitions. Yes, they have diverted more money to the teams at the top but essentially they still have sporting integrity. You can get promoted and relegated from the PL and you qualify for the Champions League by finishing in the higher league positions.But the same arguments have been made before every comparable shake-up (the Premier League, the Champions League etc) and we keep flocking back with our BT Sport and Sky subscriptions every time.
He started on the offensive and kept going, calling the people responsible for the Super League plans 'liars' and 'snakes'.
Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward was blasted, Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli was accused of walking away from his member clubs.
Ceferin said he will be talking to lawyers tomorrow to see if there is any potential for clubs being thrown out of European competition - five of them are due to play in Champions League or Europa League semi-finals next week - and players being barred from Euro 2020.
I think we need to give it a day or two, but they do really need to be coming out and at least be saying somethingThe silence from managers and players involved in these teams is deafening. Obviously it's their employers but still. Fuck the lot of them.
Actually that's probably harsh, but there's got to be something said by someone soon surely?

To ask fans to have boycott games etc just wouldn’t have worked pre lockdown, now post lockdown much more likely too
Relegate the 6. And the bottom three, and promote the top 9 in the last 6 played form table from the championship.
This has legs
It’ll be unwatchable crap to real fans. Every team stuffed full of diving, whining cheats. VAR extended to analyse every tackle, effectively a no contact ‘sport’. The PL on steroids.
Give me the Championship any day.
Was thinking this myself. It won't really affect me. I'll be up the ricoh watching city and not giving a second thought to the epl.
It’s pointless anyway as the bigger clubs can easily cope without fans in the ground
Me either really, but look at the bigger picture. That’s exactly what these “big six” wankers are being vilified for not doing.
Yeah , but theres not a lot I can do.
If they get bombed out of the EPL I'll feel sorry for their supporters but there's not much I can do to help them.
Yes, this. No loss to me personally at all as I havent' followed the PL since City were relegated. I think I've only watched the Champ League final once. No affinity or interest in football other than England or the Sky Blues.Was thinking this myself. It won't really affect me.

Unfortunately seems they are more interested in selling subscriptions to far eastern "fans". The viewing figures for the Champions League must presumably out strip the PL overseas for them to want to go down this route.
It's ok they can play it on the weekend once they're kicked out of the PLJust heard somebody say the Chinese may not be so interested as the kick times midweek will make it early hours of the morning.
