I can't believe this is actually happening this is the end of football. Unbelievable

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.
Every club involved in this shite is an embarrassment, They are killing football.
An exclusive club and no relegation. It's an utter disgrace.
British government is not going to do anything. It's all posturing.
Champions league as we know it is dead. This is horrible.
By the way who are the other 3 founding member?

Why would they do that? Surely they just crown PSG in the CL and then play Roma vs Villareal in the Europa final?
You're just mad Porto are getting in before you.
Not Varane because he'll play for a Super League club. But the other players' team will find it impossible to compete financially.
The wealth gap between United and Villa (for example) has been shrinking for the last 20 years. If the ESL comes to fruition, it'll be back to 90s levels.
What do you think people said when the Premier League was about to be launched? Do you not think people kicked off then? Greed, fleecing the fans etc? I wasn't around for it but I've heard plenty of people talk about how those were feelings at the time. I've been in conversations where people have poked fun at themselves for saying it at the time but they now love the league.
I think Neville and Co have just got to so many people. Talk it through, it may be the worst idea ever but let's at least talk it though.
This is exactly what they are aiming for.
feck I hadn't thought of that! God this whole thing is so shit.
The year you were winning the league as well. I feel for you truly.
So that’s it confirmed now 
I honestly can't imagine people not thinking this will end up happening. Few years later from now when you see a United - Liverpool game in Premier League with both playing their reserve to save players for this fecking competition people will start to realize that the PL has lost most if not all of its value.
Top 4 and CL kept something for the clubs who couldn't compete to fight for.
Why won't we still compete and win domestic leagues?
If the money isn't reinvested I'll set myself on fire outside Old Trafford like that monk.
So United don't deserve to be there? Would they have offered more than Midjyitland did this CL? Do Midjyitland deserve to be in Europe's elite competition?
I'm sure that in time, the SL will evolve to have an entry and exit requirement, but obviously not in its inception
Most of them have formally announced it on their web pages/social media.
Haven't seen United one?
To say I'm devastated at the moment would be an understatement. Desperately hoping something kills this
European Union will block this super league for sure, meanwhile
How exciting! Can’t wait to play Madrid Barca Bayern 4 times every year - that really makes these kinds of fixtures really special.
Is Harry Kane staying at Spurs now then?
To be fair, without most of the clubs that are joining the Super League, these trophies become pretty much worthless. This is crisis time for UEFA
Can people stop posting bollocks from accounts called things like UnitedStuff and BarcaMania as fact, please.
If there's any news, just have a quick check to see if there's a better source than 'some bell-end on twitter' before everyone gets their knickers knotted.

When trophies don't mean anything, Levy is the real winner.
The operative word being "could"
Squawka: Most recent league title of The Super League founding clubs - all in 2000s bar Spurs who last won in 1961
Feck this, feck this in the fecking arse. What a horrible idea this is. There has been a lot of talk on here recently about 'plastic' teams. Is there anything more plastic than a 'Super League' with no relegation and the same teams playing each other year in, year out?
I am a bloody Tory but I am down for any movement between fans of all these clubs to come together and boycott our clubs. An absolute disgraceful decision where the owners have decided not not only completely change the experience of fandom for our clubs but also try and to completely financially eviscerate all the clubs outside of their closed shop. Feck these fecking d*psh*ts.

Not true
Why even have team names at all? Why even have teams base themselves in countries and cities?
Each team can just be assigned a random collection of numbers and letters, and to save on all that pesky air travel, they'll all be based on an island, let's call it Football Island, and players are cloned and fed on the embryos of failed clones until the reach maturity and can kick a ball about for all our pleasure.

who the feck cares honestly. They have absolutely nothing to aspire to as a club now. Nor do we.Can't believe we've got to play Madrid again this week, but I'm pumped about Newcastle away next week. It's been a while since we played them.
- Said no one ever.
Cancelling this years CL and Europa must make the players act surely. There must 100s of players with European club clauses in contracts if they win or score in the competitions. Gonna be a legal nightmare.
The ‘United way’ and all that...
Getting the popcorn out now.
I really hope this is some massive windup.
Even if not kicked out of the prem it completely kills the league. No incentive to win as soon as you're out of the title race and not going to get relegated, making it a farce for every club involved. Same with the Super League as soon as you can't make the "playoffs".
RIP football.

Porto will lose 5-0 every game if they go inWhy were you going to walk away in '09?
