Re: European Super League imminent?

The 12 clubs supporting the European Super League, as it stands, are: Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus.

No Bayern Munich, no PSG, no Rangers.... :sherlock:

Well, it's fun watching top flight football implode this evening! Wasn't expecting that.

I imagine there's a fair few clubs higher up the list than them

So what happens when those consistently at the top of the Super League need a greater share of the money again?

There will be a breakaway league. In the end it will be Man U. versus Real Madrid , best of 21.

This only serves to satisfy the plastic supporters of those clubs overseas who have never stepped foot into a stadium.

The European Super Duper League

It's a cartel, not a league.

Re: European Super League imminent?

Man United haven't been a "super" club since Fergie left, Barcelona are in massive debt and creditors are calling, Spurs are failing to get into Champions League but needing to repay their stadium....

Football is increasingly about money but big clubs have always been able to fall and be replaced by others. This stops that from happening while also damaging international football and whatever remains of club football.

If football needs to become more like US sport then there are a lot better options to take first.

There's a good article in the Guardian about it

At which point, it is worth pointing out an uncomfortable truth: this is what a lot of people actually want. Maybe not you or the stalwart season-ticket holders or the ultras in the Curva Sud, but certainly millions around the world with no particular historical attachment to the game, and for whom the idea of keeping the elite teams apart for the sake of tradition seems as perverse as shelving the Godzilla vs Kong movie on the basis that they still need to face all the smaller monsters first.

Re: European Super League imminent?

So six Premier League clubs are off to join a super league?

Does that mean the top eight teams in the Championship get automatic promotion and those in places 9-12 go into the play offs?

Sounds OK to me.
