European Super League (again)

What a disgusting bunch of shit cunts. I'd love it if Millwall got one of them in the cup next season and a full den let them know what they think.

yes, I would have thought so too. You don't win court cases just by turning up with expensive lawyers. Just ask Donald Trump. You need to have an actual case.

If they've signed a letter of intent to take part in an unsanctioned competition then it's case closed surely? Clubs can't just go round setting up tournaments left right and centre, they're bound by the rules of their leagues, national associations and UEFA
 
West London Blues are playing Brighton tomorrow. Should be an easy win for the Super League side but let's not forget what happened the last time they played a side called Albion in Blue and White stripes.

That was in the smaller clubs league though where they had crazy things like relegation/promotion going on.

an interesting point was made somewhere today, may have been Talksport, tat teams like Liverpool and the Manchester clubs are allowed to use there names only as they received consent from the city councils when they were established (i know from Cardiff City history that its definitely a thing) and it would be interesting if that permission was withdrawn. Would rather fuck up the brands. Merseyside Reds against Lancashire reds doesn't quite have the same appeal somehow.

It was on the beeb but it’s bollocks, I think. It’s the local FA’s that have that right (Liverpool & Merseyside FA) in Liverpool’s case

Tbf it's making me laugh how angry Sullivan will be right now. He's been sat there waiting for the 5 years or whatever it is to expire and now he might be selling a club in the equivalent of the championship. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

They got the Premier League set up by convincing all the smaller clubs in the top flight that there was something in it for them and then taking the FA with them by selling them some shit about benefiting the national team and also crucial leverage over the Football League. This time they're abandoning the others and pulling the ladder up behind them - no way are Sullivan or anybody else letting them get away without a scrap

Fine words from Bielsa.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa to Sky Sports: "This doesn't surprise me. The most superior teams have managed their superiority through competition. When they no longer need them to win money they discard what they no longer need. This is a very common thing, not only in football. It shouldn't surprise us.

"The fundamental problem is the rich always aspire to be more rich without considering the consequences for the rest. As they gain more power they start demanding more privilege over the rest.

"The most powerful are powerful because of what they bring but the rest are dispensable. What makes competition great is the possibility for one of those weak teams to develop, not the big teams playing each other. But the logic of the world at the moment and in football is not outside this - that the powerful become more rich as a consequence of the weak becoming more poor. If this was is what guides the world at the moment why is there such astonishment. This shouldn't surprise us. It was something that was coming."

Fucking hell. I really like him.

Anyway. Anyone give me a lift to Spain next season? I'm looking forward to cutting the cost of getting over the pond. I'll see you after the 'game'.
 
Gary 'Man of the People' Neville speaks for us being the payroll of Sky which excludes millions of fans from the sport.

Well said Klopp

Sky are playing a dangerous game and their stance in this won’t have endeared them to the breakaway clubs. Reason being I can’t see Sky being in the running for tv rights. I think Netflix, Amazon or Disney will emerge as the broadcast partner with many games being broadcast on clubs own tv channels. Sky will have to jump one way of another soon, and if giving support to a new reduced EPL is the way they go, and it may be the only route open to them, they better show their hand sooner rather than later, as having sky on board would give a clearer picture to life after this season.
 
Football has been eating itself for years and it needs to die in its current form. If this hastens that death, I’m all for it. If you run a sport on the basis of making as much profit out of it as possible — to the exclusion of all other considerations — you can’t complain when people that have come in to do exactly that make some decisions you don’t like. You brought them in to do exactly this. Oh, has the scorpion stung you, frog? The moment they started moving games to Tuesday evenings for telly purposes and fuck the fans that had season tickets but couldn’t give three hours to see a game on a Tuesday night, they started down this route.

BTW all the jokes about spurs not deserving to be in it... quick recap of last 4 seasons: no top 4 finsihes for arsenal, a couple of cracking 8th places, and spurs finishing above them every time :thumbs: oh and currently in #worldbeating 9th place
19/20

I think the jokes are applicable to either, and I'm an Arsenal fan (at least the moment - season ticket may not be renewed)

It’s about cities as much as teams. London, Manchester, Liverpool, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan. Er, and Turin.

It's about global fanbase, with Spurs possibly sneaking in for to make a 2/3 vote to expel them from the EPL impossible
