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.
One word. Posturizing.
Have Fifa said anything officially?
It would be a bloody earthquake of monumental proportions if they come out in support of this behind Uefas back.

What does Chuck Norris say?
I said it earlier in the thread that whilst I don't like a breakaway league but I can understand clubs wanting reforms in the way cl works . Fact is that from a purely business point of view the owners can see that the clubs are missing out on potentially a lot of money because the big clubs don't play each other often enough . I understand that United have been in & out of Europe this decade but the fact is that United have played Real Madrid ( Arguably the two biggest clubs ) what twice (4 games ) in the last 20 years . Liverpool have also hardly played Barca or Real much . I don't know how but that needs to change somehow
Clubs would have to increase their pay substantially otherwise many would take a pay cut to still play in other competitions.
Nothing's going to happen is it
The clubs will get what they want. It’s all about who gets what in the end. UEFA will give in soon enough imo.
Give it to fecking Ham till the end of the season.
The UEFA statement says players COULD be banned. It's the clubs that would be banned, but I'm not sure they will really care.
I'll have you know I had a hair cut this week*
*for the first time in a year... And it was more of a trim.
I'm not a local fan, I watch the CL final to see the 2 best teams in europe play a match. I dont care what they're called. Would a final between Arsenal and Milan be more attractive?
This feels like the Berbatov thread but with no "cock in hand" posts this time.
Ok, thats from UEFA. This is old news. ESL has the backing of FIFA - the biggest football governing body- now. A good case for court.
The dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. You know what happened to them.
Watch out 'elite' clubs.
Glaston to log in the next few days proposing a fecking cheese room in some cubby hole in Paris. cnut.
I wonder what Ja Rule thinks of this...
Total joke of a threat. Not only are there a million legal impediments to this happening, but every sponsor of the World Cup and every other competition would cry bloody murder and/or pull out.
Brain, remind us how the clubs made the decision. fecking points finger at green screen.
WHERE IS JA!!!
He's saying what everyone else is saying and thinks is right as well. And that includes plenty of other politicians and non-footballers. Why, as PM, should he be denied a voice? Or be criticised for holding the 'right' opinion in most peoples eyes?
If he'd said he was in favour of it, he'd be slated. If he refused to comment, when everyone else is criticising it, he'd be accused of cowardice and not wanting to upset the wealthy and powerful. If he condemns it the same as everyone else, he's 'saying the easy and popular thing'. In short, he was going to be slated by some whatever he said, or refused to say.
No they wouldnt
Imagine the PL without the top 6 and La Liga without Barce, Madrid and Ath Madrid, they haven’t got the power to ban them it would be financial suicide for the PL and La Liga
Suck it up boys the big clubs are off.

Fair point but I won't. If those teams are banned, I'm not subscribing to CL tv .
They just make this bloke say rattled in Scottish cause it sounds dangerous. Rattled.
Yeah, in a weird way, part of me hopes this will become a reality, not because I think the Super league is a great idea, but knowing that European football supporters in general are quite conscious of the bigger picture, I could see a future where the "big guns" play in half-empty stadiums (before eventually relocating to Asia/North America), while the rest of Europe gets on with it and creates classic European nights in stadiums we've barely seen for the past 20 years.
Nah its more of an industrial dispute so of course he's siding with the institution with all the power over the people doing the work
Spurs could have dominated the reinstated English First Division, but Levy decided it would be more profitable to finish bottom of this new Tri-Nations League.
What's happening!?!? 
So they havent even met?
He'll do a rap at the opening of the competition. But you'll soon realise that is not even his song.
I would back the ESL if they stop using VAR!
Dear ESL founders,
Do not create that league. Otherwise, you can send the checks with the provided stamped envelopes.
Thank you FIFA
The real winner in all of this will be Fabrizio Romano, who'll have to answer the question "what does this mean for Sancho?" 14,000 times a day.
Labour leader Keir Starmer said the clubs involved should "rethink immediately" or "face the consequences of their actions".
"This proposal risks shutting the door on fans for good, reducing them to mere spectators and consumers," he said.
Genuine question. What else are fans other than spectators and consumers?

Bournemouth European Champions.What's happening!?!?

Honestly the fecking hypocrisy is utterly incredulous.
