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.
Haha. Yes, ban the best players. That will do it. Very smart.
"Yes, football got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
If those teams are banned, they will simply play ESL during weekend prime-time.
They obviously did. They just don’t give a feck about fans’ opinions.
Its more likely the absence of Sir Bobby that has enabled the glazers to do this.
Everyone mentioning that it's greed behind this idea but there is also a greed behind backlash. Greed from corupt UEFA and from clubs who are not involved in this new super leahue cuz they will lose income which is generated by playing against those clubs. I quite like the idea to be fair. Multiple big games through the season doesn't sound so bad.
Also in my opinion Ceferin knew about this idea for some time now cuz he is heavily involved in Slovenian politics in last few months and it seems he is preparing the stage to go candidate for prime minister which would be nice backup if this go through.

Gotta say, I'm loving all the meltdown. I'm ready to give it all up, I just want shit to burn down
I'm the same, in a very sadistic way, I want to see the off field drama last for a long time. Spite is very entertaining at the moment.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
He should calm the rhetoric, he literally has the weight of public opinion on his side, but calling for clubs and players to be banned is going to sway the fence sitters against him. he should just say he's disappointed and they will review the matter internally.
Well, if that's not what your post says, then what the feck is the point about going on about UEFA and FIFA? It's not they who have just announced the ESL. Also, if you haven't noticed anyone complaining about money ruining the game before now, which particularly large and dense sand dune have you spent the last two decades buried under?
Speak for yourself. Most of us don't want this at all.
Or get more teams involved and expand to have a bigger league and knockout system.
We don't know that which is why waiting is a good idea.
It might be what you want, but its very clear from the reaction here that it's not what we want.
He's going all in.
UEFA bent backward for their cash cows (former now?) because they're themselves corrupted, and money grabbing. Doesn't mean they lose their power to the players where their national FAs affiliated to UEFA. In other terms, UEFA has the agreement of the nations. A few rich clubs with the finance of global financial entities can make ESL, doesn't mean UEFA is a vulnerable homeless, that they're shite scared having to shut their own propaganda.
The point being, they may lose, but they are big enough that they can't shut up.
Oh dear. Bed sheet brigade are out.
He was speaking for himself .
Yeah lets completely feck over all the other teams apart from these 12. Who gives a shit. Football doesn't exist outside those 12.
Can't imagine any negatives for all the teams in the Championship, League 1 and 2 if the Premier League gets gutted of its biggest draws. Nope.
Correct. There’s no turning back.
18 years is a long time though. Without SAF we probably wouldn't be a top club like we are now.
At the moment they aren't talking about abandoning the domestic competitions. They're only talking about abandoning the CL and EL at this stage
Very fair point
My belief is that this is a transitional step into a completely closed Super League without participatory guests and a permanent secession from all domestic competitions. This is just the "let them get used to the idea" phase.
Maybe it will be tied up for years, but players will be banned in time for the Euros and they'll have to wait for all the legal stuff to move through before they can play for their country in Euros/WC again. That might be a long time.

same, the drama is incredible. Mind you to me football died awhile back when billionaires started to buy clubs. Probably why part of me don't even care. It's become money money moneyWe‘re constantly told that there are people who ‘know the club’ and have the ‘insert club’ DNA (applies to all clubs)...well this is the time to show it.
I would say for certain that is the end goal
I was talking about the owners, you seemingly didn't get what the post was about. The post I responded to said that Ceferin should target the owners which is a bad idea because these owners aren't smally fry, they have weight outside of football, they are part of the actual oligarchy. When you are a businessman it's not a good idea to target everyone without thinking of the consequences, he is elected at the UEFA, he isn't going to be there foreve and the UEFA won't help him outside of football.
Disagree, unleash the fury on these money grabbing selfish tw@ts. Get as many threats out there as possible, pressure the players, the clubs, the fans, because these 12 clubs have already initiated legal proceeding this morning.
CL v Super League - Wednesday Night Wars
Yeah it would be interesting to see how many people knew exactly about the timing of the announcement and made money off of it. Would be ironic even if FIFA or UEFA would launch an investigation into but then that would also mean that their members didn't profit of it either at the highest levels and that of course seems improbable given their own track record."Yes, football got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
Regarding the damage done to the smaller clubs when these top clubs leave their major leagues, the Super League has planned a Solidarity Fund of about €10m, which would be about €6m more than what UEFA is currently contributing.
I think we've clearly seen that just one ESL club in City could afford a legal team that dwarfs Uefa's and makes them look like bumbling idiots. Imagine what the 12 combined can do. Uefa aren't nearly as rich as half the clubs in the breakaway.
There is no problem with the idea of a super tournament between the best clubs. The problem is that there no relegation for Founder clubs.
It seems that they anticipated and don't care the slightest so far. The response will need to be extremely strong for them to reconsider.
