A lot of opposition to this, let's see how "hard nosed" these businessmen are.

They genuinely wont give a fuck.

They would rather have a bunch of Indian and Chinese viewers tuning in to this if it makes more money than bothering to keep a few locals happy.

League associations and UEFA need to stick to their guns here. If they want to breakaway, follow through with kicking clubs out of their league's and banning players from national tournaments.

Let them have their closed off league and the rest of football can carry on without them. 

Unfortunately I still fully expect these associations and Uefa will find a middle ground.

It'll probably end up being like that pre-season competition, Man United v Man City in America, El Classico in China, Milan derby in Australia. Spitting in the face of every real supporter of these clubs.

Apparently they have changed their fixtures schedule to show thigs like "Leeds v Merseyside reds" and "London blues".

So most on here against it? 

Cant really see any grounds for being for it, its horrendous.

Think either the amercan and arab owners who understand fuck all about football have made a massive miscalculation on the response to this or are only doing it to hold a gun to uefa's head to get concessions.

[GA1972 9,551]

I hope they do breakaway and are banned football will be much better 

Half of these clubs haven’t been relevant over the course of European football history 

Let the truly great clubs like Rangers, Ajax, Benfica, Red Star, Steaua, Malmö etc go back to being the biggest clubs and we’ll have a far more interesting competition. I hope we’re already on the front foot pushing for more influence in the ECA on the back of the resignations and departures from these clubs  

[stuart1994 4,302]

Maybe if they ran their clubs correctly and never spent £100M on one player or giving players £300K a week they wouldn't need to break away for more money bunch of cunts.

The more I'm seeing all these diddy Premier League clubs coming out raging the more I want it to go ahead

Clubs like Brighton, Wolves etc with absolutely zero history all spending ridiculous transfer fees because of the SKY money they got, are now raging that clubs bigger than them want to breakaway and make more money

The FA going tonto about owners not caring about the fans...the same FA that welcomed all the oil rich owners into the clubs like Chelsea/City when it suited their agenda to raise the English game

UEFA going crazy about clubs being greedy...the same UEFA that ignored their own FFP rules and handed paltry fines out to clubs breaking the rules instead of banning them..again because it wouldn't suit their agenda

List of irony impaired cunts goes on & on, the Premier League will collapse on itself if these clubs get booted (which they should) & they'll all come tumbling back down.

The world is one greedy planet. Most of the billionaire owners never grew up around football. They are destroying the beautiful game. UEFA will try and come across as the good guys but they are equally to blame. They have ruined the Champions League. It has become a predictable borefest. The set up means only a handful can realistically lift that trophy.

Teams like the Old Firm, Ajax, Benfica etc are steeped in history but it matters fuck all to the rich.

Alex Ferguson said it correctly when he mentioned playing in Europe with Dunfermline then winning it coaching Aberdeen and four times in the final with Man U. Those dreams are gone.

Andy Wanker been reading too much Phil McGobbleshite these days.

"Rangers perilous financial situation"

Fucking laughable.

[esquire8 42,438]

Wonder what the alternative is? Probably bring back the knocked out teams?

Definitely looking like the UEFA have done their homework today and can kick them out.

Down to the EPL now to follow suit.

Fucking hell  what a season indeed....

The likes of Leicester or Everton can win the EPL as many times as they like to become the 'top team', they're never going to be viewed at the same level as the teams in the ESL.

It’s in my lifetime when Everton were the top team in merseyside and they have won 4 titles since Spurs won the last one. They are a bigger club than Spurs who are a nothing club

I hope they all get kicked out and start the super league. Then I hope the smaller clubs prosper while those clubs all rot in some boring fantasy set up that nobody really cares for

Someone will need to remind me what business a government has in football?

Someone needs to remind you that if this shit show drains away all the money from European competition then it will seriously harm our club because you are dreaming if you think we will benefit in any way

Aww fuck, there it is. Mourinho. 🤣Wrong thread.

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.

Last time they went down they average over 48000 in the lower league. They may have a lot of glory hunters but they also have a very large core support

[.Williamson. 82,114]

We could benefit from this with international players wanting to remain playing international football. Get them all kicked out and we can win the champions league
