European Super League imminent?

[jon1959]

To be fair to Perez he did have some great ideas to make the game more attractive to prospective younger fans.

Shorter games for one!

I think he was about to suggest bigger goals, more goals, cheerleaders, four quarters and US television personalities acting as celebrity refs, but the interviewer ran out of time.

Good to see the Grauniad spellchecker is still in the box, Jon! Caveat Copier as they say!

The ESL is a house of cards ... built on sand...on an earthquake fault...on the slopes of an active volcano

It really is the year for shambolic coup attempts.

[life on mars]

When you consider the recent effects of Covid for fans and smaller clubs and jobs lost within those clubs , this move is so callous and disgusting

Roy Race walks away from Melchester Rovers, Blackie Grey to follow.....the world’s caving in.

I've been surprised at the level of reaction and I imagine the clubs didn't expect such a reaction either. You've had governments condemning the plans for goodness sake

You don't want them to be punished for trying to rip up domestic football, are you that naïve to think they won't try again? Oh that's alright lads, try and rip up domestic football, show a complete lack of regard for fans, clubs and competition none of that matters now you've written an apology

No. Of course they shouldn’t be punished. The fans of the clubs were against it, as were the players. It’s not their fault they have power hungry greedy ****ers running their clubs.
I’d have been all for throwing the book at them if they’d gone ahead, but they’ve not.
Pressures on the other 4 now.

They can be punished, fine the owners, punish them, not the players or, indirectly, the fans. Put the money in a ‘help the lower league clubs’ pot to be distributed in genuine hardship cases.

Fans and players aren't responsible for clubs going into admin yet get punished. There are fans of these teams calling for their own clubs to be punished.

Did the Wigan fans deserve relegation for the owner's stitch up?

Best protest banner so far - "We want our cold nights in Stoke"

Are we talking about punishing the clubs or the owners? I’m all for the latter.

One thing that still annoys me is that Portsmouth won an FA Cup thanks to dodgy dealings which the league caught up with eventually and punished them. If that was the Olympics the unfortunate silver medalists would have retrospectively been awarded gold

Ironically I caught Harry Redknapp on the radio today waffling on about big money, wealthy owners with no connection to clubs etc etc

So nothing to do with ‘Arry splashing the cash when he was at Pompey then .....

Didn't he try to claim his dog signed all the deals? Crooked character.

I'm personally gutted that it looks like this will all be wrapped up this evening. I was quite enjoying watching it unfold. Could they not have kept it going until the end of the week? I'd have loved the tension and the possibility of clubs being eliminated from the champions League. Part of me hopes the hardcore nutters in charge of utd, arsenal, Liverpool and the Italian clubs actually try to stick it out. This is prime time entertainment

[Monster munch]

There will be loads to come out this week.
I wonder where Levy from Tottenham is at the moment. I bet he’s kicking and screaming!!

Probably wondering how the **** he's going to pay Mourinho off now.

Your post is a political comment based presumably on your own beliefs and has nothing whatsoever to do with the theme of this thread.

Well said sir!
