European Super League

[WMUG]

Yeah, that too. The vultures have shown their hand. Now let the champion of the people, Boris, put his money where his mouth is. Or will he just slink away and forget all about his rehearsed outrage?

I don't expect anything from government. All talk when the people are talking, and then drop it when the interest wanes. But FIFA and UEFA (who have somehow come out of this as victims) could pass that rule regarding residency.

No reason you couldn't put pressure on both ways. Lobby the govt and FIFA/UEFA simultaneously and see who caves first.

Tbh we should just tell ALL the billionaires to fuck off out of the game.

You can't tell me what to do.

[WMUG]

It would be nice, but it's a pipedream now

This is the moment to make it happen though.

As NQ said, the parasites have shown their hand. Nobody's under any illusion about the damage these pricks would do to the game given the chance.

We won't get an opportunity like this for decades.

Strike while the iron's hot, get 50+1 implemented and reclaim our sport.

So there are reports today taht UEFA offered huge sums of money to the English clubs to withdraw from the Super League which sounds suspiciously like a bribe but never mind.

The new champions league format agreed by UEFA also means that clubs who fail to qualify but have high enough coefficient points will automatically qualify for the Champios League. We are 11th in the points apparently and given the teams ahead of us would qualify automatically via the league for the Champions League, would see us qualify next season if the rule was in place.

How is that new rule any different to the super league? It’s the big clubs looking after their own interests to ensure they all play in the big competition. The only difference is that UEFA get the money rather then super league which therefore seems to make it acceptable

that's all as disappointing as it is believable

if it's true about the bribery then absolutely UEFA have killed off the insurgents to keep control of the cash - not that any of us wanted that type of insurgency as it was the opposite of the fans getting their game back

The Kroenkes must be confused AF this morning! This is probably the closest thing to a slam dunk that you'll ever get by American sporting standards - drastic increase in income, instant security after the pandemic, cemented status as one to the world's top sides, forever, nothing but big matches against the best teams every other week... they were probably sitting there by their iPads, waiting for the kudos to start rolling in!

That’s all UEFA gave a shit about along with the premier league & sky etc. They claimed they were trying to protect the fans but as long as they got their money, they couldn’t give a shit about the fans

UEFA are geniuses! They have countered this move by creating a 'European Super League'

It's a brilliant idea!

Does make you wonder if this was actually the real play from the 'founding 12'?

could be, if so they really pressed the nuclear button though
