Surely then the ESL can just create their own World Cup format, making it all inclusive of course but away from Fifa regulation.

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.
There's an ignore button above my name, be a doll and hit it would you.
Ole is never getting out of a semi final. We get to one in flying form and world football comes crashing down
On the one hand I love the fact they just stick it to the UEFA and FIFA but on the other hand it makes them the exact same corrupt bastards. The Glazers are the most despicable, arrogant, self-centered, heartless cnuts in football for me. True businessmen, have to give 'em that.
UEFA brought it on themselves. They killed European competition with the UCL being so bloated. They then just added a third competition even though no one gives a feck about the secondary competition.
They tampered with something that wasn’t broken long ago

Pogba apparently gets a 1.85million bonus for qualifying for the CL. Bet he's been on he phone to Raiola all night
Wanna put money on it?
Curious to see how the players and managers react. Surely players won't be happy is their club is eliminated from europa or CL. Or if they can't represent their country.
Expecting more twists and turns.

Fans pundits and media should start piling pressure on players, and especially managers, to boycott this shit.
And on team sponsors obviously.
Lets finally do some good with cancel culture.

I really hope our stars put in transfer requests. Lets see how well we do when bruno decides he wants to play in the euros for portugal and will leave utd.
There's no relegation. It's exactly the same situation as the National league right now and I can tell you the games below the promotion chasers are currently completely pointless.
So the PL will mean nothing then, unless you win it. Man how boring.
The people overreacting about this need not to worry.. because of the massive backlash against the Super League it will never see the light of day.
Stick to your same old stale boring champions league and don't moan about it in future!

Agreed
More like it will kill the international competitions.
No one is sponsoring or watching a world cup without the best players in it. The players/clubs have the upper hand here.
Francesco Porzio: No confirmation that Champions and Europa games are temporarily suspended. Decision will be taken in the next hours - anything can happen.
What’s the chances that our game against Burnley was the final one this season?
I honestly think any club joining this super club should be demoted by default to the lowest national ranking league. These club owners have gone way to far in their self interest and its hugely damaging to the national leagues as owners that are only in it for the money will force the clubs to prioritize the Super League regardless of what being said in the public. These clubs need to be taught a serious lesson and any ownership of these clubs should be annulled and the ownership structure that have allowed this need to be restructured in a way than fans have more power rather than the owners on certain matters like joining and leaving current football leagues.
Bayern declined the invitation.
If all games you play in the competition are against other big teams and only that, then how will you ever learn to appreciate a big game when it happens?!
They're like, "F*ck yeah! More big games, eat it bro!", but what makes a game versus a big team feel special is that the moment is irregularly occurring.
More is not better from an experiential perspective. You want to feel the prestige of the encounter but it's going to be the law of diminishing returns.

Surely players were aware of this?
Give us the good then?
What about the Hungarian Clubs that basically bought their way to CL using funds handed down by the government? Are they much better?
This whole holier than thou stance is frankly ridiculous. There are so many crooks in football these days. Just look at teams like Istanbul Basaksehir etc.
Poch has won the CL then I guess.
I haven't had chance! I'm getting about 15 replies a second at the moment. I'll read up on everything tomorrow when the dust settled. Don't really care right now as the sentiment around it is 95% negative so there's a total imbalance of rational thinking
Isn't that how it should be for the big teams anyway? What the hell is finishing 4th about.
The sheer brazenness behind this is something else.
No, you're okay.
I can't see them waiting until next season to ban clubs. Shit is about to hit the fan.
Much and all as I hate it and Glaston will likely have a novel about why the belong, Spurs are one of the 10 biggest clubs and most valuable in Europe atm. They make financial sense.
MLS has two expanded conferences, and they've never considered introducing a second tier with promotion or relegation. They're going to introduce 3-4 more clubs over the next few years into the existing two conferences.
Let's see if the SL can actually contemplate introducing a second tier. I think they might given that they grew up in more traditional football structures, and I think football will get shaped around this SL instead of central confederations such as UEFA.
Players want to play in World Cups and represent their country... I definitely don't think that threat is nothing
You were 152 years old to be fair, they probably did you a favour.
I guarantee you they will not have been informed.
If for no other reason than because players would obviously leak this news. They all found out today. Probably the same story with managers.
