Would love to see Bayern or PSG stand up for what's right, but unfortunately I can see both joining the league if it goes ahead.
Prompt, definitive action is demanded from UEFA, FIFA, PL and the FA!
Simply can't let this happen even though they have tried it before although they appear to have pushed it a bit more this time. It's a way to hive off more money for them & try to preserve what they believe is their god given right to be at the top table every season. What chance have the likes of Leicester or Atalanta for example got of going into Europe if they get their wish of a closed shop.
Perez saying we are responding to the wishes of four billion fans!!!
I think you are right. These has all been crafted with the US sporting model at its heart. The NFL is a closed shop for a sport no-one else in the world plays.
This is basically a zero relegation franchise system except that the franchisees are already known owners.
The message is, if you want to be a “fan” of a club at the highest level, these are your choices - go ahead and pick one.
I'd be surprised if they didn't, to be honest, but hopefully they'll do the decent thing and stay away.
He seems like a guy with integrity, too. Would love him and Klopp and other managers to walk away in protest...
Really pleased to see that. Hopefully they stick to it.
You don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs just because it doesn't want to stay on the farm
Just like all the previous attempts to form a Super League this won't happen unless UEFA and FIFA want it to happen
Players must be registered at the start of a season for the league they are going to be playing in.
5 point automatic deduction for any team in which a player plays for their non-registered team.
Plus the England team would only be made up of players playing solely within English Football leagues.
So just letting them do this is the same as kicking them out, which is why the PL needs to show some backbone.
You cannot have these clubs dictating to world football like this. And when I say clubs, I mean six owners.
That's correct, but I think the issue is that it intrinsically damages the values of the local leagues (where Champions League qualification is no longer relevant) and obviously the Champions League itself.
It will force a huge % of the money in football into the pockets of a select group of clubs, to the harm of all smaller clubs who rely on PL/Champions League money filtering through the leagues.
Am certainly not trying to defend it!!
😂
They know that future TV money will be drastically reduced without the top six and to continue the farmyard analogies turkeys don't vote for Christmas.
As Mrs Grey said its not a breakaway league, its an alternative to the Champions League where the clubs would still play in their own domestic leagues which UEFA and the national FAs are never going to agree to. Owners might welcome players banned from internationals but would the players?
From everything I've read this is proposed by Real Madrid's chairman rather than an American thing
