Or those clubs beaten in the quarter finals come back in. Still a schedule that the tv companies want filled.

Slavia reinstated to the Europa 

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

UEFA will get a tanking over this, they are unfit to govern football and their time has come.good luck trying to expel 6 clubs in the EPL.......

[Inigo 32,526]

I'd take to the streets over this. Genuinely would. Over what football is becoming generally. It's at the core of our culture and it's being raped by businessmen that often have little connection to that culture, although enabled alot of the time by local collaborators.

SPFL STATEMENT

REACTION TO EUROPEAN SUPER LEAGUE PROPOSALS

Neil Doncaster, chief executive of the SPFL, commented: “The SPFL stands alongside UEFA, the European Leagues, the English Premier League and the overwhelming majority of the game’s stakeholders in vehemently opposing the proposed European Super League.

“These proposals, or any like them, would have an enormously damaging impact on the very fabric of our sport at all levels. It is no surprise they have been so swiftly and overwhelmingly condemned by fans the world over. 

“We believe that any such ‘competition’ would dramatically undermine the global appeal of football and would be financially catastrophic for all but a very tiny minority. 

“The proposals we have seen, assembled by a small, self-selected group of very wealthy clubs, appear to be a cynical and very worrying attempt to thwart the core principle of sporting merit which rightly underpins European football.  They represent a clear and present danger to the sport we all love.

“Now, more than ever, given what we have all been through over the past year, governments, together with the game’s governing bodies and leagues, need to work together to do what is right and protect the very essence of the game.  

“The SPFL stands ready to support all efforts to fight for the principles of solidarity, sporting competition and fairness which lie at the very heart of the game.”

 

Pot fucking kettle with the stunts they've pulled lately.

I can see the plug getting pulled now that Neil Doncaster from the SPFL is siding with UEFA.

Not a great answer but better than letting clubs who are purposefully trying to rip apart the fabric of the game continue on.

[esquire8 42,465]

Pretty obvious. These owners give zero fucks about the players international careers.

Same as when Sturgeon attacked Trump:

 

"Who?"

This is what happens when folk who have no interest in football have power In football, I’m sure one of the man United mob said it took them two years to understand the offside rule and they still don’t really get it.

[Monkey Butler 23,020]

I hope the ESL introduce new exciting features like any man save, next goal winner and playing in the dark.

[Dennis Reynolds 1,329]

It's a bastard of time to float this. 

There would be an absolute shit kicked up if lines like "legacy fans" were getting kicked about when Liverpool and Man U fans were in grounds, it's a fucking honking statement to have linked to this

 

[Arrowtown Pie 133]

In a way I hope it happens tbh.

I'd quite like the idea that some of these ' big' clubs could suffer points penalties, have relegation from the EPL and that their fans would desert them in droves.

Find the idea of Man United playing in the Championship in front of 15k at Old Trafford quite appealing.

There's no fucking way they'd float this if fans were about. Cowardly cunts.

Clearly all these 'legacy fans' are holding these teams back from being able to be little NFL-like franchises. Liverpool Shanghai FC v LA Man Utd in the soccer superbowl final live from New York, here we come.

Good God it makes the skin crawl reading that.
