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) All German clubs are owned by fans 51% so probably a non starter for them!, 11 clubs in already, would be good if the Tim’s and huns got invited in, they could try and sell the “oldest” derby in Europe to appease the bigger clubs, while sticking the middle finger up at uefa/fifa for not stripping the huns of their titles, whatever happens.clubs will be punished for this if it doesn’t happen, might balance the top leagues out a bit Link to comment

Football is nothing without fans and they would do well to remember that! Link to comment

We should just allow their colts straight into the top league. That way their fans will still be able to watch top league football every week. The SPFL can schedule the home games to ensure the young team are at home, when the ‘big team’ have away fixtures in the EPL. job done and a great outcome for everyone involved... Link to comment

Spot on. The irony is thicker than my granny’s soup... role out the seemingly selfless reasons why this is bad for the game... Hope it does happen and it brings the whole house of cards down with it... Link to comment

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. That's how I read it too. Threaten to do something ridiculous with the aim of settling for something slightly less. Link to comment

donswin1983 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 have about poor refs, VAR etc, we shouldn't subscribe to a footballing project that isolates the rich and the powerful in to a closed-shop money making cabal. Liverpool Football Club is a societal entity that despite foreign ownership still knows its roots. We are figureheads of the English league and are European legends, we should fight for improvement in the grass-roots of the game and the basics of the national sport, not divorce ourselves from what is flawed yet still great as a competition. What happens 10 years after the the ESL? A world SL? What if were not invited in to that? from one of the Liverpool forums..they are quite split on this. They don’t recognise they are already part of the closed shop and this would just be the next iteration..agree that the world league would be the next iteration for these ‘franchises’, pending the arrival of football on other planets..

Kincardine_Mearns_Red Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Dont these clubs play each other just about every season in the chumpions league and have done for like the last 20 years? Boring boring....... Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Aye if they manage to make this work, the game will indeed be fucked. Money has ruined it of course, and the level of greed in it now is disgusting. More money is all that ever matters. Fans should pull the plug for a bit, to bring it back down to earth.

1983 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The hunter gets captured by the game. This is just an evolution of the disgusting, corruption and greed that has been created by UEFA, FIFA, EPL et.al. Fuck them. Let them create a model based on 12 clubs’ fans paying yet another subscription charge. Amazing. Stupid cunts. The soul of football has long gone. The quicker they eat themselves the better. 1 Link to comment

The games fucked. If watching massively wealthy clubs, with whom they've zero affiliation, is something people to do want then there's no reason for us to give a fuck. I've watched countless Champion's League games, and not a single goal in any of them made me punch the air or scream YAAAAAAAS, but Kamberi's goal against Livi had me just about spunking my wad up the walls. Personally couldn't give a single fuck about any league Aberdeen Football Club isn't directly involved in. Let them have their meaningless flash. 1 Link to comment

Dons79 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 They mentioned three more teams to join to make the founding 15 if France and Germany have excluded themselves then it must be 3 of ajax Porto shahktar Donetsk zenit Napoli Seville benfica lazio etc out of the top 5 euro leagues 2 are exempt english top 6 have joined, Spanish top 3 have joined and Italian top 3 have joined Barring PSG and Bayern there’s no other big hitters left that hasn’t joined up. wonder who the three are?

Sonoftherock Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Don't think things will really change for us... we've already been left out in the cold, since the establishment of SKY, the EPL, etc. Karma for a load of these diddy english clubs who're locked out of this one - the same ones who've been lording it up, during the SKY/EPL years, while laughing at Scottish football! I can't wait for this super league! Hopefully this destroys the EPL! Will be absolutely hilarious if it does! Link to comment

This. ^^^ We exist on the unfashionable margins of football already... below us there's only part-timers playing at fitba. 6 Billion quid to the super-rich clubs isn't going to shift our ability to win stuff in the SPFL up or down one single percentage point. And as far as European success is concerned we might realistically be the last Scottish team to ever win a Euro trophy. We're pretty much European Super League-proof... we've so little money in the scheme of things, we're such a third rate shithole of a league already, that there's practically nothing they can do to make us poorer. Go ahead and try. It would be funny to think the big money might shift away from the EPL, though, because they would be fucked ? 1 Link to comment
