[Kaka Tim]

its falling apart isnt it? Man City also rumoured to be getting cold feet -

lol - story moving too fast.

 

[Kaka Tim]

the North London super league anyone?

 

[cupid_stunt]

I am no football fan, TBH I find it weird that the big clubs have been ripping off their fans & treating them as complete mugs, for fucking years, and the fans have just sucked it up.

Anyway, Sky News is reporting 2 out of the 6 English clubs are now looking to pull out of this latest plan to rip off fans even more.

European Super League: Chelsea and Manchester City set to pull out of competition

Chelsea and Manchester City are set to pull out of the European Super League, Sky News understands.

Looks like Chelsea might be the first to break ranks

FFS. So close.

 

[strung out]

FFS. So close.

Might be a spot open for West Ham now?

Has Chuka Umunna got a position at one of these clubs or something?

 

[Wilf]

So, Chelsea were in the superleague about as long as Sur Kieth was in that pub.

What happens now with the positions at UEFA and the European clubs thing that all these club chairmen and CEOs resigned yesterday?

 

[Smokeandsteam]

I’ve been on longer drinking benders than the entire history of the ESL

 

[1927]

the North London super league anyone?

Bookies are taking odds, Arsenal and Spurs are joint 3rd favourites.

 

[tommers]

Oh well. At least they looked fucking stupid.

 

[1927]

Oh well. At least they looked fucking stupid.

Not often that West Ham stand out for being a club of integrity!

Steady on.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

This is hilarious to watch

 

[Thaw]

Oh well. At least they looked fucking stupid.

Maybe we can still deduct points from them for bringing the game into disrepute?

I’d relegate the lot of them

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Rats pouring from the ship....

 

[Lord Camomile]

They're the Change UK of football!

 

[cybershot]

Who will be the last shower of cunts to throw in the towel?

If we play our cards right in could be us (Liverpool) vs spurs in the esl final in Tokyo.

 

[Smokeandsteam]

I reckon Arsenal will be the last team to quit so they can claim they won the ESL...

 

[waxoyl]

City have withdrawn. They really care for there fans.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Be interesting to see what happens next. massive backlash against the monetarisation of the game has created a push for wholesale reform - and with the unsustainable financial model that looks unavoidable. The seeming remorseless march of market forces has just been stopped in its tracks and thrown into reverse. Will these scum bags now sell up? Be interesting what happens to their precious share prices now.

 

[Badgers]

Some of the podcast pundits are suggesting that Man City and Chelsea have cold feet. That is based on rumour but from a couple of different sources.

Both those teams were invited into this rather than forming it. Also Porto claim to have been invited but refused.

Boom

[tommers]

Gutted. The shitshow continues.

They surely have to face consequences!

Oh well. At least they looked fucking stupid.

And everyone's hatred of Real Madrid grew that little bit more.

Real Madrid’s Florentino Pérez claims Super League is here to ‘save football’

Florentino Pérez has painted a dramatic, dark portrait of football’s future and presented himself and the 12 breakaway clubs as its saviour

[two sheds]

I wonder whether they signed contracts?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Think someone said they had been the most hesitant, but wonder if the Champions League SFs factored into Chelsea and City's withdrawal.
