23 years of the same teams playing each other and no relegation, I can’t imagine that league lasting long. There’s a reason the American sports haven’t been adopted so much in Europe and part of it is because there model isn’t competitive enough. Obviously they’re not arsed about the UK or European market so maybe it will thrive. I just feel like the novelty will wear off personally.
there is promotion though? five new teams a year?
 
but the short term challenge is..the clubs that stay would have to still pay the huge salaries to contracted players now..and they wont have that cash now..so they go bust?
Tbh we’ve already seen over the last 12 months that clubs outside the premier league can’t survive without solidarity payments from premier league clubs

We’ll be down to a max of 20-30 professional clubs within 3 years
 
Let them all fuck off, replace them with some of the bigger Scottish clubs, they’ll be able to compete within a couple of years with the additional TV money. Can’t see the man on the street f***ing his sky subscription off because then he’d pretty much be agreeing with the reasoning behind the super league, so the sky money should still be there. Then don’t let them back in ever ever again when what is effectively a closed shop pre-season friendly tournament flops.
 
Yes it was class! Some of the best football I've seen under Reidy and the best side we've put out in generations in the 105 point season.

I'd argue one of the greatest sides ever in the Man Utd team that went on to win an historic treble.

You don't half talk some shite mind.

Edit I'd add Euro 96 & France 98 to two of the best international tournaments we've had aswell!
 
It will absolutely destroy the English game. It will destroy all club football outside of the Super League

There’ll be no money in the game any more, top players won’t play here and the standard will regress massively.

Sunderland might end up rising up the league because of it but it’ll be a shit league devoid of any quality.

If this goes ahead, football is dead
I don't know, UEFA and FIFA are incredibly powerful entities. They've already issued a threat of banning players of the Super League from international football.

Plus there's still the likes of Bayern, Dortmund, Atletico, Porto, Benfica, PSG, Ajax who will be part of UEFA competition. The prestige will still be there, and thus so will the money which will trickle down into the English game.

We'd likely see a new elite group emerge in place of the previous 'big 6'.
 
By the sounds of it, any players making an appearance in the Super League will not be allowed to play for their country. So the WC, Euros etc wouldn't be a problem.
This is where its bullshit.
FIFA saying that you can't play football unless its in a game that they control now? That's disgraceful, FIFA don't own football.

I'm against this league, but the reasons FIFA are coming out with are all, "But WE OWN Football, fuck off".

So out of literally more than a century of football, you managed to pick out 2 examples :lol:
 
Aye mate. JP Morgan have invested billions into it without thinking about who’ll be watching it in the ling term :lol:

why don’t you write them a letter and let them know where the flaw in their plan is

Who is tuning into a league with no relegations mate? No one from here and across europe will be. You think the yanks and chinese are going to cover the viewership for 3.5 billion each a year?

They are banking on being allowed to continue playing domestically aswell. Pull that n they are fucked.

Surely US sports are more competitive in terms of winners (8 Superbowl winners in last 10 years etc)
 
Do you remember what football was like
Here in the 90s?

it was awful kick and rush stuff devoid of any quality all.

The quality in the Championship isn’t even that good now. If that’s as good as we get post-super league then you might as well wind it up now.

Imagine how bad it will be when the clubs at the top level have lees money than the championship gets now? Rank
Depends on what you value I suppose, I prefer a more competitive competition. I'd rather see two similar but poorer teams have a go than watch a team of superstars try to break through a "low block".

The option will be there to watch the super league if that's your preference. It will definitely be successful in places with no footballers culture of it's own, USA, Asia, middle east.
 
It will be renewed, but for less money. Players are going to have to get used to earning less and they'll have the ESL "colleagues" to thank.
it would have been renewed for less money (circa 5 per cent less) was the estimate I saw..now it will be for a LOT less money..
this is my point..football as a business has peaked..liverpool owner, chelsea owner and palace co owner all rying to sell sahres in last year or two coldnt get the sum they wanted...
 
President of UEFA saying Ed woodwood and juventus both lied to him on Friday and said we’re happy with plans
 
Where does this leave players of the founding clubs who don't want anything to do with it but are contracted to their club for another 2 3 4 or 5 years?
