European super League

Reports are breaking that the top 6 English clubs have signed a deal to join along with clubs across Europe. Lets see how this pans out , money and greed that is all this is

[Copps is Magic]

Simple. Kick out any club who's agreed to join from the English system. If they want to rejoin let them start from the bottom.

[southwestexile]

Rumours abound that Sheff Weds were one of the signatories by virtue of being a massive club

What not LEEDS,champions of europe?

[Janso]

Rumour has it this would already have happened if not for PSG and Bayern not signing up.

Nothing to do with PSG's owners having the rights to show Champions League football, I'm sure.

Agreed.

My wishes too,but sadly that will never happen,money talks,even Man City Ladies did'nt have to start at the bottom,just ask the Belles.

Group stages of the Champions league are so compelling aren't they, it's just a natural step...

Except it's so boring nobody bothers with it until the knock out stages.

[DonnyOsmond]

There would need to be more promotion through the league's so I'm all for it. We're going up.

The Premier League is run by the clubs in it. That's why it was set up. I somehow doubt Man U and the rest are going to vote to kick themselves out of it.

Plus the worldwide tv deals the PL have which rakes the money in for them, I would doubt they would be too happy having extra games of Fulham v West Brom or Burnley v Saints to fill their schedules.

Money and greed is right.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

The fans of the clubs involved won't stand for it. If anything the clubs will become clubs in name only and phoenix clubs will be set up by the fans and start again wherever possible in the pyramid.

[bedale rover]

The chief exec of the premier League has condemned this already

And warned them against signing any deals

[Filo]

They should be forfeiting any PL money and thrown out of of the league, its a disgrace

[River Don]

JP Morgan are backing the project to the tune of $4.6billion.

It looks very serious then.

I wonder if the prospect of being kicked out of domestic competition and having all their players banned from international competition will deter them?

I wonder how the voting rights are set up.
If it was one vote per club and a simple majority was all that is required then perhaps clubs like Villa would welcome the top six gone and give themselves a better chance of winning the league.

[Padge_DRFC]

At least a plane ticket to Barcelona will be cheaper than Man utd and Liverpool fans train tickets to london

[Filo]

Every player playing in such a league should be blackballed from playing in any other league, make them unemployable outside of the European Super League

[Chris the Rover]

The sooner they go the better as far as I’m concerned. Kick them out and (never going to happen) restructure the leagues. Money grabbing scroats.

[rich1471]

Gary Neville had a right rant about it , the clubs are making a statement at 9.30 tonight

[elmsallrover]

Don't worry it won't affect us with our board

Or they might vote against it,thinking they should be included in it?

[essexrover]

Arsenal & Spurs are no longer part of the "big 6 " really are they ? Tossers.
And Juventus are struggling to get into next season's Champions League. It's all about their beloved revenue streams isn't it ?
Clubs from only three countries doth not a European Super League make
 

[southwestexile]

Won’t be a super league without the German clubs. Spain, Italy and England

The rest of the Premier League surely would be all for kicking out those greedy enough to sign up for it, they'd then have more chance of winning stuff for themselves. Enlightened self-interest etc.

[RoverinLincs]

It’s only been a matter of time, this idea has been floated for ages

[BillyStubbsTears]

Simple. Kick out any club who's agreed to join from the English system. If they want to rejoin let them start from the bottom.

Picture the Premier League sitting down to negotiate broadcasting contracts and saying, "Yes! On Super Sunday we will have head to head clashes between our leading 8 sides.
Leicester v Everton
West Ham v Aston Villa
Southampton v Wolves
Leeds v Palace"

I'm struggling to see the broadcasters' response being "Where do we sign?"

[Campsall rover]

Good riddance to them. Nothing but greed. No thought whatsoever to the people that matter, the supporters. They are now surplus to requirements it would seem to the biggest clubs. What a total disgrace if this actually happens.

On a plus point the leagues would have to be re structured. That would give us much more opportunity of establishing ourselves as a 2nd tier club.

[BillyStubbsTears]

At least a plane ticket to Barcelona will be cheaper than Man utd and Liverpool fans train tickets to london

Surely you mean Man Utd fans' tickets FROM London?

[Campsall rover]

Just heard Gary Neville rant.

Well said Gary. I could not have put it better.

[River Don]

The key to this will be the reaction of the supporters of those clubs and the players of those clubs.

For instance, how will someone like Harry Kane react to being banned from playing for England?
