I don’t see it happening. Too many against the idea. I can see fans and maybe even players boycott the idea so it is dead in the water

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
If this goes through, at least there will be no chemistry problem in FIFA from next year

.The irony.
Sky go to the usual adverts at half time. Talk about how the super league is a cash grab for for about 1 minute. Then go to adverts again.

Money talks. And with this Virus causing financial losses clubs have become desperate
Are we saying PL clubs will not play in EPL but only in Super league? In that case, its bad. But if we are talking about two competitions then I don't understand why people are complaining. If anyone is greed, it's the PL and Uefa because they are losing the monopoly.
Do we know who’s actually organising this? Who’s instigating it?
Just saying on sky sports that as the premier league would not sanction it, the only option would be to leave the premier league to partake.
You exist.
A revamped champions League is definitely needed and so I can see some merit to something like this . Obviously not as a completely separate league but some sort of a middle ground between the two . It's funny to see likes of UEFA and PL acting as some sort of moral stands against the clubs when in reality it's money Vs money . PL allowed this to happen by letting all these clubs to be sold to the current owners
I’d rather not personally. I hate the idea of it and it completely devalues the Premier League. I’m not surprised FSG have gone for it though.
I don't think the other clubs sign up for it unless its an equal revenue sharing pie. Maybe United and Real come ahead because of merchandise revenue and such.
I hate the idea of this new Super League. I hope, it never happens.
Hope they hire some incompetent officials, the refs ruin the spectacle in 90% of Premier League games.
The leading members of the ECA.
Really hope this is just a (really bad) bargaining position to help get the clubs to the table to discuss the project big picture reforms from last year. A super league would need to be a break away, so say goodbye to FFP and then we’d never compete with the state backed teams anyway. It’ll become some tacky over-sponsored mess.
And 20% of their leagues trying to lose for draft positioning.
If you ever need an indication that we need rid of the Glazers, this is it.
Surely this is just a power play? The PL can block this and clubs will need their permission to compete in it. The clubs involved will never leave thier domestic league. Clubs want greater control over the distribution over their games, and ultimately a bigger cut.
Micah Richards talking about money ruining football with a straight face
This grave was dug in England when city circumvented ffp, bought the league. To turn around and say sporting merit is paramount sadly just doesn't ring true.
Being called bitter for saying City and Psg would ruin the sport was always a cheap lie. Any moral argument for sporting merit carries no wait now unfortunately

I know that I'm just saying how pathetic are we that we are spearheading something we have no ability to compete in.
Like they wouldn’t be all over the bidding rights for it.
we both play in red and we both have greedy American owners. We aren’t that different when it comes down to it.
All clubs big or small are part of the football ecosystem. You can’t trample over the ‘smaller’ clubs, their fans, traditions and history to service the greed of the few.
It’s an extremely selfish viewpoint of football in general.
Someone make a poll for who in here is for or against. It will be as one sided as they come surely. I’ve only seen one eejit who appears to be in favour
Yes please.
Looks like football Armageddon to me.
Don’t know if I’m missing something. Roy Keane mentioned Bayern Munich have turned down this proposal. I thought clubs in Germany weren’t invited in the first place therefore how can you turn down a proposal when you haven’t even been asked?
I absolutely hate this idea but UEFA's 'fairness' statement is hilarious. How is letting the likes of PSG and City be owned by countries 'fair'. How is not letting Newcastle do the same then 'fair' either? At the end of the day if UEFA want this shit to stop then they need to create something that doesn't allow these 'nation' state clubs to cook their books and dominate football via money only. Go talk to the likes of Lyon and the rest of French clubs about fair play.
The fecking PL allowed us to be bought by a leveraged buyout that crippled our club and are now crying about what is fair. Give me a break.
This is simply an argument between two bunch of cnuts nothing more.
Edit: if they wanted fairness then they would bring in a wage and transfer cap full stop.

The big clubs are basically upset by having no say in the leagues/cups so they are looking to start their own one.
And UEFA did their part by an awfully FFP implementation. It was just a question of time over when the big clubs threw a stink.
Sadly so. Yet more grist to the glazers out mill. The cynical, avaricious shysters.
Football really is broken. UEFA and FIFA can cry about greed but let’s not think either of those entities are much better. We’ve been heading towards this for a long time,.
This can get to feck. Just endless friendlies. Sounds fecking wank
Bojan, I think
Well see you later football. Absolutely no fecking way.
Since 2010 there has been 10 different winners of the Superbowl and 5 winners of the NBA Championships.
In that time there has been;
5 different PL winners.
2 different Serie A winners.
2 different Bundesliga winners.
4 Ligue 1 winners.
3 La Liga winners.
European football is far more status quo-y than Yanks sports.
Why the feck are people saying death knell of football? It’s been about money for decades. Who the feck made UEFA the moral guardians of football? They make billions themselves. The only reason them and FIFA are against it is because it threatens their power and position in the game - a position they’ve abused through incredible corruption for decades. I said once FFP collapsed there was going to be a huge power struggle - the same people that bang on about fairness and allowing City spend whatever they want when funded by an entire state seem to think big traditional clubs should share the TV money equally. That’s a contradiction. You either enforce FFP or you give the clubs who are the main reason for the billions being made the ability to make their own tv deals. I’d prefer the former personally but UEFA have shown they’re incapable of managing it.
I completely disagree, I think it devalues those kinds of ties that are traditionally highlights of a season. It's not a highlight when it's on every week. Variety is very important to me, I like seeing us play a range of teams and the excitement of seeing who we might play in Europe. Those ties feel important precisely because it is the culmination of a seasons work.
Aside from destroying regional clubs and the communities associated with them I just don't think it sounds that appealing even if all that bad stuff could be overcome.
Silver lining?
Oh man, hope football doesn't end with us one league title behind Utd. This is shit timing.
