More room for corporate thenLiverpool fans kicking right off. Removing all flags from The Kop.
I guess we will.find out whether these clubs really do value their loyal fans or not. Should be interesting to see
That was FIFA. UEFA are squeaky clean by comparison.
Sorry I was referring to FIFA, got my acronyms confusedWhat did that have to do with UEFA?
Rightly or wrongly, I don't really see what the government have to do with it.
The sports governing bodies are the controlling authorities here.
Wont belong ling till Liverpool franchise soccer club are playing in Boston or somewhere.
We all got pissed with our players when Tranmere got promoted. Its just them greedy bastards who have lost touch.

It's effectively a cartel though, which contravenes European competition law ?
I did the same and I thought it was Man City who was the most pro.Flicking through the various forums, it seems to get more support, albeit limited, on the Liverpool forum.
If every one felt the way I do it wouldn’t matter. This whole super league thing is because they’ve decided that someone in the Far East or in the USA is more important than me or you. Fine. If that’s how it is, then fine. Go. Take your money. Take your overpaid prima donnas. We’ll watch the second rate footballers that are left, or even the ones that have a conscience and won’t play in it. We’ll watch a wide open competition with integrity. We’ll dream of being champions of England again. It might be devalued a little bit. But that will wear off because the super league will become stale and boring quickly. They’ll be playing in front of empty stadiums. I know the money men won’t care. It’ll have no appeal in England. Then hopefully they go the whole hog and fuck off somewhere else as a franchise.It would to me as well, but it wouldn't be internationally and that's where a lot of the money comes from. Does that matter? I don't know - a lot of that money does filter down in one way or another.
From what I've seen, the greatest support for it are from people who have never even set foot in the UK never mind the home ground.Flicking through the various forums, it seems to get more support, albeit limited, on the Liverpool forum.

Liverpool supporters' group Spirit of Shankly (SOS) said it was "appalled" by the decision of Fenway Sports Group, the club's US-based owner.
In a social media post, SOS said: "FSG have ignored fans in their relentless and greedy pursuit of money. Football is ours, not theirs. Our football club is ours not theirs."
Chelsea Supporters' Trust called the move "unforgivable" and said its members and "football supporters across the world have experienced the ultimate betrayal".
The Arsenal Supporters' Trust called the club's agreement to join "the death of Arsenal as a sporting institution".
Manchester City's Official Supporters Club said the move showed "those involved have zero regard for the game's traditions", adding it was "determined to fight against this proposed Super League".
The Manchester United Supporters' Trust had earlier said the proposals were "completely unacceptable" and the ESL "goes against everything football, and Manchester United, should stand for".
Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust said the ESL was a "concept driven by avarice and self-interest at the expense of the intrinsic values of the game we hold so dear".
Its a fact, went to Anfield and Old Trafford a few years ago, masses of tourists. The local airports are full of fans flying in to watch games. Wouldnt be surprised if its 70/30 split in favour of local fans.
I think I’m in a minority but I think Liverpool fans are brilliant.
Supporters groups have been fairly unanimous although they obviously won't have canvassed all of their members:
