It’s kind of funny watching BT Sports and Sky Sports act high and mighty when they are the one that took the game away from the fans. I remember when the ucl was free to watch for English clubs on ITV until these companies paid obscene money to buy the rights.

Yes this was the european cup when champions entered the league like celtic rangers, benfica, porto, ajax, dynamo kiev who have been in europe cosistantly as champions and have to go through 2/3 qualifiers before entry with limited money but english teams have top 6 teams who are just richer and the super league teams have auto entry and are seeded which means they have played easy teams at the start.now there will be a willy wonka league

Also clubs can now "hopefully" *IF NOT IS WRONG* reduce ticket costs growing exponetially. Also Uefa steal investment of funds to grass roots worth 3.3 billion. - Another reason being supply is increased to meet demand. No longer will people pay near a grand to watch real madrid. It brings supply up to help meet demand. - Does it take away from excitement yeah but realistically those top 6 premier league clubs and other european clubs on average consistently enter CL or EL anyways. - The top clubs are bleeding money. 500 million lost last year for Man U for example.

Sorry guys, but whatever the backlash is, this is going to go ahead. The clubs involved in this are rich enough to have employed the best lawyers to analyse the legal implications of this. The Premier League, UEFA, FIFA, etc would not have come out and condemned it publicly if they didn't already know there is no legal means to prevent this from happening. $6,000,000,000 has already been committed by JP Morgan for this project to go ahead. It doesn't mean that this money has been invested, but this amount of money would not have been accrued if there was a significant chance of this project not going ahead. Everybody can speak up against it, but at the end of the day, BT Sport and Sky, as well as all the other broadcasters around the world, will invest in broadcasting this Super League. The fans of the clubs, no matter how much they hate this idea, will end up watching the games. Neutral fans will watch this as much as they watch the Champions League. Because, if you wanted to watch neutral continental football, would you rather watch Real Madrid vs Man City every week, or Porto v Dortmund? People will call for a boycott, but how often do boycotts work? FIFA and UEFA have stated that any players involved will not be allowed into the Euros or World Cup, but this is an empty threat. The idea of hosting such prestigious tournaments without the best players will just devalue the competition. And would the players rather play for their clubs on a permanent basis, earning tonnes of money, or would they sacrifice that for the sake of a maximum of 7 games every two years? PSG, Dortmund and Bayern have so far refrained from joining the agreement, but eventually they'll succumb to the huge loss of revenue and will have to decide whether they wish to wither away like the rest of football, or remain afloat by joining the Super League. We can cry and moan about it all we want, but the initial backlash will die down. People react to things, but eventually they'll learn to live with it, and eventually embrace it. The older generation (this includes the younger generation of today), will eventually grow old and die off, and the new generation will only know this format. Face it, it's happening.

I like Jordan's insight on this, because of his past experience and knowledge on these types of dealings. However, we will have to see if this really is more of a power play or not, but I do think Jordan is on to something here.

I said this from the start, it is a power struggle.

[@kaushikvedanarayanan177]

The problem you have with american owners is the mindset. In american sporting leagues, the league is controlled by the owners and the chairman/commisoner of the leaugue is essentially there employee. They want to have the same model in football... hence the ESL. They will never be able to get that kind of control with the current arrangement

[@johnmckeeman1794]

If the European Super league goes a head all those Teams won't have one Fan between them. And if players turn their backs on it as well. Its a Dead Duck.

[@wir154]

Oh, but Florentino Perez said that 4 billion would have watched it! _ _ _ Only, 4 billion happens to be more than half the population of the entire Earth! Only a delusional fool would think that anywhere close to that sort of number will ever watch football in total, never mind that just a fraction of the real total of football fans would have watched the European Shite League, or whatever it was going to be called! Loads of fans of included clubs were threatening to boycott it, virtually no fans of excluded clubs would have watched it and many neutrals would have soon tired of the dull, repetitive nature of it! Also, many of the sad, plastic, glory hunters, who have latched onto most of the ESL clubs (sometimes to the displeasure of their long term fans!), would have drifted off to pastures new, as their chosen club's supply of silverware dried up!

Same thing happened in 1992 when all the big clubs left to form the PL. Disgraceful, the game has never been the same since.

[@Ajs_1988]

It wasn't the same thing though was it? Yes 22 teams signed up to big TV deals and more money, no one can deny that. But there has always been jeopardy, the super league had no Relegation or promotions. Look at those 22 clubs in 1992, how many of those are still in the Premier league? And how many more have had the opportunity to play in it?

The term "big 6" is hysterical. Pretty sure Leicester City are easily better than at least 2 or 3 of them.

The financial 'big 6'..

[@tomben6180]

FIFA, UEFA, the FA, PL, all these organisations have bent over for the likes of United and Liverpool, as well as other so called “elite clubs” in Europe, for years and years. The current format is bent, never mind this new one. I’ve been a season ticket holder at City since the 1990s and never have been so disillusioned with the game. The sad thing is when UEFA and the cartel of elite clubs tried to illegally throw us out of the competition, I thought we would retain the moral high ground, now we’ve jumped into bed with the same clubs that have ruined football for everyone.

It started in the early 90s lets not kid ourselves. From 1960-65 you had 6 different title winners and like 14 different to finish in the top 5 teams. From 2015-2021 you have had basically only 5 teams PLUS Leacisters the Miracles in the top 5. They destroyed the game years ago.

absolute farcical idea, hopefully the premier league , uefa and fifa stand strong, ban them from playing in domestic leagues, all domestic cups and stop any player from playing for their national sides, the idea will die in seconds as players will not want it then,

If its about players wages, as the biggest clubs with all the power, why don't they try and force a wage which would allow them to profit more?. That would help everybody else. I don't think it can just be about players wages because surely they are one of the main reasons wages are so high.

[@justsendmelocation5068]

THEY'VE SMELT THE MONEY, it's going to happen period. These clubs owners knew this was in the pipeline that's the very reason they purchased the clubs Liverpool Manchester United Manchester City PSG Arsenal And furthermore the Italian clubs have been pushing this. Italian clubs have been embroiled in corruption for years. And need we say more about FIFA and UEFA. If corporate sponsors plow in the billions, then the " true fans" will be forgotten about All this stinks, they are going to Americanise the game of football.
