The gloabl audience won't be interested in Burnley v Brighton, the big 6 know this and know that this could be the death knell for many clubs in a post pandemic world. Utter scum, good to see supporters clubs doing this.

The finances of it only seem to work if all the participants are also allowed to continue participating in their domestic leagues. If they aren't then the whole thing falls apart. The various footballing bodies are plenty rich enough to outlast the clubs involved and it won't take many founding clubs withdrawing to make the whole thing entirely unworkable.

Yes I don't think people understand what is happening here. These clubs will be so rich that they will have squads of about 40 to compete on all fronts. Players from the European clubs who are not included will join the super league clubs. We really need them to go if they are going. I have zero interest in seeing their reserves battle for the Premier League while their best players play about twenty games a season in the super league. The money in the Prem is going to drain away. Many seem to think the Prem will still generate the money it does now. They're in for a shock. A reset is fine if we don't allow their reserves in the league and we have a level playing field. It's not fine if they remain and use their vast wealth from the super league to dominate every competition. | |

The big 6 have all of us by the short and curleys on 15:48 - Apr 19 with 2541 views | Pinewoodblue | It is a form of Blackmail. The rest of the EPL will agree to any changes the big six want to save their biggest source of revenue. The EFL will also give into them and agree to any demands concerning the cup competitions and possible even allowing them to have B teams in the EFL. How the fanbases feel is of no consequence to them. | |

One of these things is not like the other. Kids in Real Madrid shirts and coloured boots are fine, Sky Sports isn't. Not everything about modern football is terrible. Kids getting to understand the world through football is a wonderful thing. People liking a splash of colour, a zany haircut or a funny dance as a goal celebration is people enjoying life. The big broadcasters, investment banks and sports conglomerates colonising and commodifying our game until it's something utterly unrecognisable is different. | |

Maybe for you, not for me. My kids wear Town shirts or they don't wear football shirts at all. The don't support Real Madrid and are not Spanish, so why would you encourage that? Maybe its just me. As for zany haircuts and yellow boots, no thanks. Unless you are Messi, you ain't getting away with that on my watch. | | | |

The world's a big place, there's space for people enjoy different colours, haircuts and even things from other countries. Can't begin to imagine why it would bother me? | |

My boys wear Town shirts, but they also have a Barca shirt as they adore Messi. Pretty sure that's ok. | | | |

Let them play in their ESL. They are not allowed to join a competition not sanctioned by the Premier League. They can't play in the English pyramid, or the FA Cup or the Champions League / Europa League. Their players cannot represent their countries either. Does Harry Kane really want to do that??? As for one of the 6 clubs involved, what do Ipswich, Derby, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Everton, Leeds, Blackburn & Leicester have in common? | | | |

Oliver Dowden just pressed the nuclear button by saying Visa's could be stripped. That's one sure fire way of killing this idea. | |

I think the opposite. They knew full well, and have already tooled up the necessary legal applications to protect themselves. | | | |

Well, they must be totally bonkers. The only way to persuade clubs that this was a good idea was to have offered a huge lump of money to the EFL & other PL clubs | | | |

Yep, they would have factored the anger into the equation, the problem they have is that the anger is fierce, and what they thought would be a few days of ire, then it would all die down. Clearly that won't be the case. | |

Imagine fan pressure forces Liverpool and Man City out. At that point you're looking at a league with just 4 clubs with a significant global following (Man U, Barca, Juve, Real Madrid), then 6 clubs who few outside their own country care about (Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Atleti, Inter and Milan), then fully 10 makeweights. That's not a licence to print money, that's nothing. | |

Ultimately, they're outnumbered and outgunned, especially with govt getting involved. I think they've underestimated how much they need the lower clubs to make 'their product' interesting too. | |
