European Super League

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Meh, don't expect anything controversial from them. At the end of the day, they'll go where the money and prestige is (rightly so by the way, I'd do the same for my wallet)..

nothing to do with players or managers. They shouldn’t be pushed to comment to be honest.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Are we tracking flights yet?

Yeah, the feckers have nested on my neighbour's roof.

 

[Samid]

What's going on?
What is it we are waiting for?

Confirmation of the game dying

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

If it is American owned i would expect some kind of salary cap and a NFL style league perhaps mini divisions of 4 then a knockout stage to their Superbowl final

That sounds awful.

 

[ChaddyP]

nothing on Chilevision

 

[Sir Matt]

Piss off.

[Park's Petrified Pooch]

Ban.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Sooo nearly got me

 

[altodevil]

ban/demote him for being stupid/arse

 

[Berbaclass]

Yeah, all those memorable Arsenal 5-1 losses to Bayern.

How many people watch the competition to watch Arsenal? The same as teams like Porto?

 

[Bulldog United]

Sky Sports News understands that an official announcement is still imminent. Please continue watching for another hour.

 

[diarm]

You absolute gobshite. I'm sat on the sofa next to my wife and her mother.

 

[cyberman]

united decided themselves to sell and list on the stock exchange. Let’s not pretend this is all the Glazers fault. United have been looking at ways to maximise revenues and profits for 30 years.

United as a club, arent a sentient being though?

 

[Hansa]

I understand the logic. It's not a terrible idea.

The clubs mentioned built the competition into what it is and are the main draw of the competition. Teams like Arsenal and United probably rightly think, we helped establish the current iteration of the competition and aren't reaping the rewards.

How many times have Arsenal won the European Cup?

 

[padr81]

Any comments from managers, players ?

Ole and Arteta said they know nothing about it, Sir Alex said its wrong and Hassenhuttl hates it.

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

The announcement has been delayed due to nobody being sure how Tottenham were invited.

only English team with a cheese room. Who is more successful Leicester or Spurs? Or even Notts Forest or Spurs..?

 

[::sonny::]

What are Dortmund saying? They've always got something to say.

Bellingham, Sancho, Reyna, Haaland not for sale

 

[Spoony]

Looks like it's at 11.30 then.

 

[Bertie Wooster]

As far as I am aware it would be a breakaway league, so all teams involved would leave their current league and not participate anymore.
There would be 12 founding members who cannot be removed from the league in the form of relegation.
5 clubs would be invited each season to participate (the winners of the remaining teams in the top 5 leagues england, france, germany, spain, italy)

What I don't understand about that is why would clubs join this (and therefore be expelled from their own leagues?) if they weren't guaranteed not to be removed from the league? Where would they go when relegated? Or would they, as each set of teams join each year, have to expand the leagues and have a 2nd division, 3rd division, etc?

 

[Castia]

Nothing is getting announced now is it, I think the backlash has them holding off on any announcement.

Question, from a purely sporting perspective.

How do you generate motivation from teams playing other teams that are languishing near the bottom half of this Super League, given that relegation or exit isn't a thing?

Money

Didn't sound like avian porn tbf.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Just wondering, could this Super League sign players to then be put in a draft system for the teams in the league? Can see shite like this down the line.

 

[Berbaclass]

How many times have Arsenal won the European Cup?

Arsenal are historically one of England's biggest teams and have been a huge draw in the UCL down the years.

Probably worth asking fans of American sports? I’ve asked before and they say it’s just going through the motions once play offs aren’t a question.

Don't tell us what to do. I can't ban folk anyway
