The New European Super (borefest) League

[Calpol]

Fair competition. Ie allowing clubs to be promoted and relegated, which the super league would largely not. How is he wrong?

"ethos of fair competition"



The mans a complete hypocrite.



Absolute waffle.

Take the points off them. Let them all spend next season in the championship.

I can see this super League being on Amazon prime.....if it does actually happen.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Correct me if am wrong but diddnt Arsene Wenger push for this idea back in the day?

The EPL should suspend all 6 clubs with immediate effect, if this gets announced before the end of the season.

They can all do a Rangers and start from the bottom.

Why? Rangers were liquidated....you are literally punishing the rest of the league lmao.

On what basis are you suspending these clubs or docking them points?

Gary Neville said so.

I'd be interested in knowing whether there's a non compete clause in the PL agreement

Reality check for those 6 clubs, see them getting kicked about for a few season's

If this goes ahead, what happens if all the England players at these clubs issue a joint statement where they refuse to join this league as it means they'll no longer be able to play for their country?

They'll be replaced by said clubs by cheaper foreign players?

Do you seriously think the likes of Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling will give up mega wages to play for England though?

 

[Bigpig]

FFs have to head to bed where's this announcement. They better not back track.

There's not been any suggestion that they've joined or formed this new League though, simply a letter of intent that they will.

edit: and this new League wouldn't be a competing League with the PL either.

For what reason?

I love this from Neville:

Seriously, in the midst of a pandemic, an economic crisis

Says the fella who posted a video of himself popping a bottle of champagne when he thought the league was going to be voided.

As soon as they announce, let's not wait for it to happen, they can all do one now.

 

[adam cool dude]

I actually think the idea itself isn't that bad but the idea that you cannot get relegated is just a joke.

Say for example the champions League itself became a mini league then the top 4 clubs in that mini league would end up in a play off to become champions of Europe. It would give a more realistic representation of who is the best in Europe as knockout is always a bit of a lottery.

Relegation would be bottom 3-4 teams and qualification to the super League would come from a lower tier league similar to the Europa League now.

 

[mysticsniper]

I wonder what all the footballers think of this all. I'm sure not everyone is onside.

From a legal perspective, you can obtain relief including an injunction for a threatened breach of contract. I don't know how it works from a sports governance perspective but I wouldn't be surprised if similar remedies were available.

How would this not be competing with the PL? It'll compete for time and finance even if the clubs playing in the super league remain in the PL as well
