European Super League (merged)

There is a delicious irony here. The PL and FIFA and UEFA have treated the genuine fans and the smaller clubs like something on the bottom of their posh shoes. They have run the game for the past 2 decades to suit themselves and imposed stupid competitions and things like VAR.

Now that domination is threatened. Their monopoly is challenged by a bigger wallet. So what do they do? They cry shame and accuse that wallet of killing the game they were already well on the way to throttling. Then they have to cheek to try and enlist the support of the genuine (mainly EFL) fans in their hypocritical righteous anger when all it really means is one big business taking over a slightly smaller big business.

The fact is that unless you happen to be unfortunate and a true long term supporter of one of those clubs, it will make bu99er all difference. They have been playing their own game for so long now it is just a part of life, wave them bye bye if they want to go. Leave it to FIFA to sort out, it means nothing to us playing our local derby with Kings Lynn next year.

If it was me I would simply isolate them from the rest of football, let them set their own rules and make sure the words “soccer” and “association football” are patented so their organisation can’t use them, invite the rump of the PL to disband the PL and join the EFL. Then forget them.

James Corden having a rant on the Late Late Show. Well worth a look and he puts his point over superbly. Apologies if this link has already been posted elsewhere but there’s 16 pages on the Super League and I didn’t have time to wade through the lot to check.

According to a yougov poll quoted on the BBC website 79% of football fans surveyed are against the super league.

[b][/b]ONLY 79% ???!!!

That poll shows once and for all that there’s a significant cuntish minority on the terraces who deserve everything that comes from this shitfest.

They won't ever have been on the terraces though to be fair. executive box, executive seats yes, but not terraces...

The problem is the true fans of these may turn their backs on the clubs, but the market is much bigger in Asia than Europe.
These are people who will be happy subscribe to the European Super League.
Thats why we English clubs have had no pre-season friendies from top Premiership teams, to busy playing pre-season friendies in Asia.

Oh dear. The last person I would want to see saying anything about football. Another dollar grubber too. I haven’t looked but what does Beckham say about it?

I'm slightly nonplussed by the outpouring about this on The Fishy.

This is so far away from us. I personally feel it has nothing to do with me. We are already the impoverished relations in football and we're not going to be worse off as a result of this because we can't get worse off (in football terms). We won't lose money because we don't get any money from the current set up as it is.

My gut feeling is that Real can play Chelsea every other week for gazillions but we (and many clubs like us) will continue to plough our little backwater furrow in an alternative football universe.

Have we had 'The Hope' taken away from us? Not really, we're not going to win the EPL and want to play in the Super League. Hope for us is mid table in The Championship one day, right now it's that Southend and us win tonight.

Do I care that Liverpool or Arsenal are owned by Americans (or whatever)? Not really, that ship has sailed. Football at that level has been about money for years and if the 'big clubs' are run by money obsessed billionaires milking every cent then so what?

And what of 'the fans'? The working class heroes on the terraces? Please find me one Liverpool supporter who took a step back when they won the Champions League last time and said "we really need to think about how our win can benefit Grimsby Town". I'll be here waiting......

Have you listened to it though? He talks a lot of sense and he spoke from the heart. Another dollar grubber? Maybe but the way he’s earning money does not effect the lives of others in a way that this Super League does. So to bracket him as the same as the Super League clubs is a little unfair I feel. #UTM

Totally agree. While the greed galls me as a person, I am sure the Glazers have no interest at all in stumping up a subsidy for Town’s travelling army.

In an alternative universe with GTFC top of the premier league we just know King Fenty would be bashing his member all over the shop right now 😂

Who would you prefer? Macca?
