Very much not the case. Commonly known now the main drivers behind the super league were Juventus, Real, Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal.

It's in the Premier league rule book under L9 these clubs can't enter this competition without Premier League approval. Either they give approval for them playing in the ESL or they force these clubs to resign Premier league status. I think this is going to be a case of who blinks first. The clubs have the most leverage here, so the FA will blink first to protect their league. UEFA will be the biggest losers in all this. teckers1994 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,843 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Can you imagine if UEFA kick Arsenal from Europa and replace with Slavia? That would be some kick in the baws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants to watch a Premier League without those six clubs in it and the Premier League will know it too. People will watch it, just not same numbers and not the same price as they currently do. Wages will come down along with everything else money related. A new set of big clubs will come out and life will continue without them. With the money being banded about, the 6 can easily forget about both the league and champions league for a short while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if there's a Dynamo Zagreb fan somewhere thinking his team shouldn't have had to bother playing Spurs. bluenoz, RS4_wul and Inigo 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Madrid will start off with 13 Super League titles. That's got to be a fucking joke right? 😂 Can only carry them over if the previous competition no longer exists ie First Division to SPL, European Cup to Champions League. They can make up whatever they want though really. How prestigious is "13 super league titles"? Not as prestigious as the West of Scotland Junior Cup right now. rangersross 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Its a bit shit to consider we will most likely never play any of these clubs again. Man Utd, Barca, Real Madrid and the Milan teams. The others I dont really give a shit about. Basically now these teams play a different sport to us and we are thought to be not worthy of playing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,357 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I haven’t read all the ins and outs of their proposals but English clubs, the PL, UEFA, etc. have all contributed to this over several years by pandering to a money talks approach. The money went daft and most of us all hoped it would implode at some point, then countries like ours, with big CLUBS in them - not clubs who could buy expensive players and kid on they’re big clubs, but real old school big clubs - would be able to compete again. You have these breakaway teams massively in debt and needing cash but Manure (no title in 8y), Liverpool (1 in 30y), Arsenal (not won in 18), Tottenham (not won in 60), Man C (not even in that league until bought by the you know who), Real and Barca (financial Armageddon), replicated by teams like AC and Inter in their own domestic leagues.....Champions Lge or Super League my arse....rich boys club end of. It’s going to take some brave actions by some to get out of this mess but it will never ever be the same after this. I hope the governing bodies are strong and tell them to do one, let them go and play on their own and see who cares inside 5years. In many of the other sports, the breakaways have stayed in place but their sports needed reinvigorating, football doesn’t, it needed reset from the financial behemoth it had become. A breakaway shouldn’t work but a team like Tottenham for example are so much in debt for their stadium, their board cannot afford to let the team collapse or be sold to fund their debt so it is pure greed to not have a gone concern on their hands. Financial mismanagement recovered by fucking over the rest of football. Sorry for late night rant troops. Paisley Blue Loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,357 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 If the PL clubs kick the rest out, their product won’t be the same sell so their income goes down when they’re all mostly running in losses so they’re all fucked too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hear what Klopp said though. He was saying that people should calm down and wait a bit with comments until the whole picture is clear. Apparently Leeds supporters have been shouting trash at Klopp and Liverpool players in the city earlier today. Also he was upset with pundits(Martin Samuel and Neville) talking about Liverpool as a whole, instead of realising that its the owners who took a decision and players and staff has nothing to do with it. He doesnt think Super league is a great idea and warns that players and staff are human beings and they dont deserve such treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
