Hope all the authorities go through with their sanctions if it happens. Any players that decide to stay at those clubs over the opportunity to play in world cups can piss off too.
Good news would be, it could be easier to stay in the PL if we ever made it back!

Will this mean participating clubs not taking part in their domestic cups the league cup and FA cup or could it be they operate with basically two squads one for home competitions the other for super league. Big test for out FA this might depend how well their palms are greased as to what they do about it.
As a ccfc fan I don’t see what difference it really makes survival in the Premier League is about as good as it gets for any club below the “big” six

They have to be thrown out of domestic competitions its assembled as that. Anything less is capitulation and won't be the end of it.

Gary Lineker saying this is just a power play with relating t the up and coming CL expansion. I'm not so sure

Looks like FIFA are going nuclear, saying any player that takes part won’t be able to play for their country.

England are fucked

Unsurprising that the biggest representation in this venture comes from the league that has embraced greedy owners and spending ridiculous amounts of money the most. Also unsurprising that as yet there is no Bundesliga representation with the clubs there still fan owned.

That we’re now dishing praise on the Thai bankrolled Lesta as relatively better than full on piss takers like Man City says it all.

They got caught plotting behind the other PL clubs backs last year so this shouldn't come as a surprise. Glazer and Henry motivating forces based on their US franchise sport backgrounds.
Hope Uefa and FIFA stick to their guns but the financial power of this new League could see top players choose money over country. England to be most effected.
Blatant power grab.

Marty · Apr 19, 2021

Let them go, but kick them out of the league's, non of this relegation to league 2 crap, completely remove them and don't allow them back.

Barnsley · Apr 19, 2021

I’d be glad to see the back of them. Use the opportunity to restructure the leagues to 20 teams and fuck the league cup off, to eliminate mid week games.

clint van damme · Apr 19, 2021

Just reading up on this. There is qualification from domesticl eagues, 5 places per season but qualifiers get crumbs compared to the clubs already involved but that's the bait they'll use to try and get support.
Hopefully they get given resounding fuck off

Deleted member 5849 · Apr 19, 2021

Just got to hope they can't tempt other clubs with the money because otherwise it just becomes a glorified exhibition and will die in five years.

Not that long ago we were more successful than Man City and Chelsea... but football's about allowing clubs like that to rise, not cut off the threat.

I bet clubs can't wait to qualify for a competition where they get to compete against Tottenham. Such a privilege. Greedy fucking bastards.

Wonder how the fans of the clubs feel about this.

Disgusting and I hope people don't allow this to happen

More than 50% of Chelsea fans think it’s a good idea

Torquay Sky Blue · Apr 19, 2021

Armchair fans won't notice the difference. Proper fans however will notice a closer parity between the Premier League and the Championship. Win win

Good to see the likes of Bayern and PSG decline the offer.

PSG are only holding out because their owner also happens to own BeIn Sports, who have spent a huge wedge on Champions League rights. Not exactly the most principled stance.

“By bringing together the world's greatest clubs and players to play each other throughout the season, the Super League will open a new chapter for European football, ensuring world-class competition and facilities, and increased financial support for the wider football pyramid."

How is a closed league going to bring financial support to CCFC?!

Fucking loads of bollox

Good luck with the English club games many of the "big" games this season been dull as dishwater.

Deleted member 2477 · Apr 19, 2021

It appears to be the American owners of Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal who have pushed this through.
A league with bo promotion orreligations. I wonder in what country that happens now ?

glad to see the majority of fNs of these clubs against it as well. Its all about money and nothing else

Covstu · Apr 19, 2021

Weirdly could be an opportunity to bring the English game back to a more working class level, the premier league is at its peak in respect to money so that will implode at some time or shift the capital to this farce. Cups like the FA cup devalued for years, U23 sides playing in the lower league cups just because the big clubs ‘can’. This league will show they don’t need fans but the rest of the teams will. What might hurt is that this probably guarantees Leicester the league! The bubble will burst and i hope none of their fans support this

skybluesam66 · Apr 19, 2021

12 team league. Same fixtures each week. Minimum away crowds. Probably interest for only 3 or 4 after the first few games of the season. Tv audiences will quickly dwindle.

Nick · Apr 19, 2021

The thing is, who decides on who is the big 6 anyway?

the rumpo kid · Apr 19, 2021

If they expelled those six today, would it make festa potential double winners ? That must not be allowed to happen under any circumstances.

TomRad85 · Apr 19, 2021

Let them go, boot them out of everything and never ever let them back.

I’ve only briefly read up on it but it looks like they want to still play in the domestic competition(s). The “Super Leage” will consist of 20 league games plus a knockout competition. So if (and I don’t think they will) they get their way is that potentially another 30 games on top of a 38 game league season plus FA cup and League Cup? And the manager already moan about fixture pile up.

Looks a non-starter to me and as has been said, a ploy to get favourable financial terms and protections in the new CL format.

Wankers of the highest order. Bluff should be called and the teams booted from their domestic leagues. Can’t see it happening though. UEFA will probably bend over and give them automatic qualification for the CL and a bigger slice of the financial pie. Twats.

covhead1 · Apr 19, 2021

I am truly shocked that greed has reared its ugly head in football!!
My god what is the world coming to??

As soon as we had American's owning British clubs the writing was on the wall.

Fuck the lot of them!!!

Even if that were the case, it devalues the domestic competition without qualification for Europe, as you play your U23s and settle for midtable if you start badly.

The domestic league then becomes nothing but a secondary training and experience league.

It’s done on finances rather than on-field achievement

Terry_dactyl · Apr 19, 2021

What a bunch of fuckers the owners of these clubs are.
I guess something like this was inevitable. Domestically They’ll most likely get away with it. The league would probably see itself as being massively undervalued without them in it.

Skybluefaz · Apr 19, 2021

They need to stop paying silly money to players. They could all agree that rather than creating an even bigger financial bubble.

Philosoraptor · Apr 19, 2021

If I've brought rights to any Premier League fixtures over the next few years I would be very concerned. Any peep out of Sky etc about what they have said about this?
