European Super League

[Joe pike]

The top 6 teams in England have agreed to join a new European Super League backed by yanks to the tune of 6 billion.

The games fucked.

How long before sevco and Celtic try to replace them down south?

Very quickly hopefully

Yep.. might be one last push to get the Colts into League 2 for next season as a safety net. 

[Zeus]

Hopefully the respective leagues boot all these cunts out and the idea falls through. 

[Hoofball]

What is this super league setup going to be. Is it an actual league with no relegation and fans have to fly to Germany, France and Spain etc every second week for away games or is it like the champions league setup but with only those teams in it?

[ericblack4boss]

Perfect timing with a pandemic to be travelling 

[Ten Caat]

So apparently the clubs in England aren't resigning from the PL. They want to play it in tandem but the English FA/Premier League would have have to grant permission which supposedly they are not likely to do. That would then force the 6 clubs to resign from the set up.

Can see this ending up in the courts and being a long drawn out process.

It's a forlorn hope but it would make my decade to see them all go bust

[Hoofball]

Talk about having your cake and eating it. Constantly complain they play to much game but the second the chance to make more money comes along they jump straight on that band wagon. 
 

Only reason I’d be happy to see it go ahead is if it means the arse cheeks fuck off to England and don’t leave two colt teams behind

[aberdeen1970]

Sounds like shite. 

No way the Spanish clubs will sign up for a set up that has 6 English clubs to their 3.

The likes of Valencia, Sevilla and Villareal aren't operating on budgets close to their top 3 clubs. Sure I read recently that Valencia are close to going bust. Even Barcelona are on a dodgy wicket finances wise. 

Same applies to the Italian clubs below the level of Juve and the Milan clubs. Even Roma and Napoli aren't close.

Note that PSG and Bayern aren't in (yet anyway)

[aberdeen1970]

It won't happen. 

UEFA will throw them more places and cash and the circus will roll on and the rich will get richer. 

Meanwhile the rest of us will need a spreadsheet to work out if we'll be seeded for the 4th round of 6 qualifiers to get into the group stages of the Europa Paupers Cup. 

 

[aberdeen1970]

Guaranteed group spots for clubs based on all time historical coefficient points is the latest demand apparently.

Barca practically insolvent as well are they nae?  I'm sure I read the were hundreds of millions in debt.

 

Madrid were £200 million in debt at one point but the cooncil bailed them out

It's bonkers isn't it?  Give them more cash to chase and they all get more in debt to chase it than the prize is worth in the first place.

Royal Madrid are the “establishment” club in Spain. Higher powers than the cooncil looked after them. 

[North_Andy_Dandy]

Strong statements from UEFA and the Leagues about the consequences for the clubs and players if they do leave. It is just pure greed at the end of the day with no consideration for the fans. 

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

The EPL and the laughingly titled Champions League are affront to the game. This will be exactly the same.

Aye the huns of Spain. Franco's favourites.

[muttonhumper]

LOL. What a lot of shite.

[DelMonte]

Quite funny UEFA, Premier League and Sky getting annoyed as if they haven’t been ruining the game with money for years.

Exactly. Hypocritical cunts:

Premier league condemned the proposal as it "attacks the principles of open competition and sporting merit which are at the heart" of domestic and European football

In other words “it’s going to fuck our disgusting sky deal”

[ericblack4boss]

This I is obviously an arm up the back to UEFA, the whole game is corrupt and lacking integrity, Scottish football is just a small part of the whole stinking, rotten to the core sespit, that is the so called beautiful game 

[G31DON]

Arsenal in a super league? I suppose someone has to finish last. 

[Ernie McCracken]

UEFA is already so far removed from us up here, I don't really share their disgust. This is just the next phase of what the likes of Sky and UEFA have created. 

If there was some sort of Celtic and Rangers breakaway, I would actively encourage/welcome it, subject to there being no colts or B teams left behind. 

[ericblack4boss]

Did it not occur to UEFA when they at the behest of the bigger clubs, created the champions league. Then made the qualification skewed towards bigger clubs, 

And abolished the Cup winners Cup,   

That they were setting a precedent for the shithouse clubs to call the shots 

You reap what you sow. 

[Fridge]

Probably be games played in Asia and all sorts of shit.

Fucking shame for the normal fans who the Clubs don’t seem give a fuck about.
