We would be a lot better as we would have more revenue. Unless Stan pockets it all.
The New European Super (borefest) League
- Thread starter Azza
- Start date
To be honest, I need more info on exactly how this super league will work before I can make a judgement. In my lifetime I've seen leagues change, cups change, entire competitions disappear and new ones appear, so I'm not inherently against the idea of a new competition but I need more info on it, what you get for winning it, how you "qualify" to enter it, how/if you can be knocked out of it etc before I make a full decision on it.
I was just joking about AFTV profiting off of the demise of Arsenal rob.
by the sounds of it it's just a closed shop league for the super rich.
edit: Who basically want all of the TV money.
Yeah but thats my point, I cant form a decision based upon "by the sounds of it", so I am going to reserve my decision until they release the full details then I will decide whether I am ok with it or whether I should be brandishing a torch and pitchfork

Put it this way, it's not a sanctioned league and not recognized by any footballing body - so that's the huge red flag here.
To me, it seems like it's literally a bunch of "big clubs" who want to play themselves and sell the TV rights to the highest bidder.
As a toon fan the best I get to look forward to most seasons is a thrilling relegation slog, so this won;t massively impact me - as NUFC don't get anywhere near Europe
Well as I say, I will wait until I hear official details from an official source before I cast an opinion, I think thats just a sensible approach.

While I don’t think this will come to pass, it’s so depressing that the clubs knew how badly this would go down and still made the announcement as a negotiation ploy. It’s pretty obvious these clubs don’t care about match going fans anymore but I never expected them to be this clear about it. The damage has been done regardless of the outcome now.
How would the qualifying work, if FIFA / UEFA don't recognize it in it's current form and would most likely exclude teams from re-joining their previous leagues? Relegation would be the death of a club assuming that if they were to top up the league, they'd need to give someone the heave-ho.
I've noticed you later post and I agree, it probably won't happen - just mulling thoughts around my head.
PFFFT release the signed letter please.
Seems like a complete PR disaster.
Well if it never happens then I never need to form an opinion on it and the whole subject is an irrelevancy which doesnt require any thought from me, and on the flipside if it does happen then there will be official details, so either way, waiting before sharpening my pitchfork seems the most sensible approach
I assume the plan is that they would recognise it and this League would just replace the CL, just with far fewer qualification spots up for grabs. As I keep saying, there's zero prospect of clubs being banished from Leagues. Leagues and governing bodies will make threats and try their hardest to block the League but if push came to shove they'd accept it because the alternative is far worse for them.
Terrible idea in my view and think it's vastly unfair to other clubs, essentially makes it even harder for a current small club ever reach similar heights as the too current clubs.
Could all be a a tactic as Baz has pointed out due to TV rights etc, however if its not its just Terrible in my view

Gary Neville didn’t mince his words about it.

No thanks. I'd agree with kicking the team's out of the Premier League and next season's Champions League if this goes ahead. All of football should stand together against these clubs.
Commissario
So would this run along side their current leagues, or would the clubs leave the leagues they play in currently?
The FA are threatening to kick the teams out but as Has has pointed out it won't happen. It would replace the CL.
