Wow, 3 years planning and it was dismantled within 24 hours
I'd imagine this isn't the end of it though and they'll be back with a more prepared proposal in future
So Perez finally admits they've been working on this Super League for 3 years. They've sat there in PL meetings etc. and said nothing. Deceitful SOBs.
There needs to be some form of punishment for breaking the rules to stop this happening again but there wont be as the FA and Uefa dont have the balls to upset the big six or the cash cowsWow, 3 years planning and it was dismantled within 24 hours

I'd love there to be a points deduction by PL but can't see PL or UEFA doing anything. Maybe BT/Sky can reduce times they are live next season but can't think they will agree with their vocal presenters and do anything about it. They could cut their PL prize money and distribute it through the football pyramid after all they only joined to help benefit football.There needs to be some form of punishment for breaking the rules to stop this happening again but there wont be as the FA and Uefa dont have the balls to upset the big six or the cash cows
Can't remember who it was but someone said on TV that this could remove a lot of power from the 'big 6' as their leverage has always been they will walk away and form their own league and thats now gone.Following this debacle by the treasonous 6. I think UEFA will be emboldened as they've faced the ESL concept down I don't see this being resurrected for at least a decade and by then the business framework will have been changed.
maybe Heads of agreement but find it impossible to believe they'd sign anything binding without at least details of the media deals/sponsorship being in place etcSpeaking on the El Larguero show on Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Super League chairman Perez claimed all 12 clubs "have not left yet".
"You cannot get out of the contract like this - they are binding contracts," he added.
When asked what the penalty was for leaving the project, Perez did not answer.
Wonder what was actually signed?
Isn't he staying on until the end of the year when he was due to leave anyway?Interesting twist...

There’s talk on radio that clubs involved could be be banned from European and domestic competitions for a period so no Champion league or Euro competitions and banned from domestic cups too so no FA Cup or League cup that would seriously hurt their pockets and would mean their avaricious owners
Makes no sense. Be the fastest way to resurrect the Super League and some of their fans would then back itThere’s talk on radio that clubs involved could be be banned from European and domestic competitions for a period so no Champion league or Euro competitions and banned from domestic cups too so no FA Cup or League cup that would seriously hurt their pockets and would mean their avaricious owners
That article is nuts. And the anonymous source at one club makes me think its make up rubbish or just one persons wishful thinking. The 'big 6' have just tried to get out of a Champions League with games against the likes of Rangers and Celtic as they claim nobody is interested in those games, why would they then invite them to the PL? Are they even PL standard?New twist rumours of a premier league revamp with Celtic & Rangers but down to 18 teams.
Even with super league dead there are going to be big changes coming. Can see smaller Prem, EFL cup gone but possibly more payments down the pyramid to compensate.Old Firm are wanted in British League as part of fall-out of failed ESL plot

What will happen when they are independant and no longer in Britain, they'll be questions asked why we have allowed 2 "foreign" teams in our league (unlike Welsh teams who will be still in Britain).*********WARNING*********
This link is to the sun so not only is it bullshit you'll be giving that hateful rag clicks
*********WARNING OVER*********
Tracey Crouch is leading the review and she was previously an excellent Sports Minister, so have some confidence that she has a good depth of knowledge of the issues.The government is saying the review into football will be fan led and will include looking into a 50+1 ownership model and an independent regulator. Of course with this government its up for debate if what we end up with will be anything like what is promised.
Sturgeon will be annoyed ...they don't want independence from England then?New twist rumours of a premier league revamp with Celtic & Rangers but down to 18 teams.

During the last referendum they interviewed someone who didn't want to vote for independence if it meant he could no longer watch the PL!!Sturgeon will be annoyed ...they don't want independence from England then?
The thing is, how do you get current owners to agree that they need to give up, up to 49% of their stake...I just can't see it happening.
I'm not sure how it happened in Germany either.
If you make a sports club forcibly change their ownership strategy, surely the owners would sue along the lines of being unfairly treated. Successive governments love privatisation so why should they promote a more public ownership stance with sports clubs?
I'd love it to happen but just can't see how it works...
I guess in theory now we're not tied to the EU we can make any laws we like and just tell them to hand it over but obviously that can't happen in practice. The taxpayer isn't going to stand for handing money over to super rich football club owners to allow them to be bought out as we all know a lot of the debt isn't real. Imagine Sepalla getting a £60m payout or Glazer getting the best part of £800m.The thing is, how do you get current owners to agree that they need to give up, up to 49% of their stake...I just can't see it happening.

But what would happen to the debt. If Man Utd are nearly £800m in debt and the fans are taking on a majority share in ownership are they expected to pay that off?Just make it a condition of entering the league like any other rule change. Legally it’s not an issue, FA’s house, FA’s rules Id imagine. Politically you aren’t going to get a better time than now.
