Good.
Let them go and play to the International masses, give the domestic game back to us.

Clubs involved are breaking rules of Premier league, points deduction and financial penalties

Looks far more like a bargaining chip to get more money out of UEFA. Won't happen imo.

looks early on move has back fired spectacularly, clubs involved should have points deducted and fines. How many points are Arsenal above us?

I would be 100% against as it stops ambition for 'smaller' clubs to work their way upwards. Like an American league type closed shop with no promotion/relegation. Hope boycotts are organised if it takes off.

Worst case scenario, future TV monies drop through the floor and the EPL becomes another SPL with the better supported/commercially attractive teams such as Newcastle and the Pile of down the road ruling the roost.
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.

Just reading the BBC Comments board, it looks a complete non-starter with fans, but almost as bad, is EUFA's proposal to reserve 4 places for clubs which fail to qualify for Champions League, but have a good co-efficient based on historical pedigree. Just makes sure Man U. Liverpool etc always qualify. Scandalous!

Don’t see how a Super League can go ahead without French or German clubs, and it seems these have refused point blank !

This gets wheeled out every year or two when the big clubs want a bigger share of the pie. Will never happen in a million years.

Would love to to see them sod off though.

You would worry more if the people involved in this were remotely competent. Not having PSG or Bayern Munich on board means it's still born. It is posturing ahead of the UEFA meeting to thrash out the details of the new Champions League commercial settlement.

The pity is football across Europe is in desperate need of reform yet the people lobbying hardest for change are those that want to perpetuate the worst excesses of the current structures not only at the level of European wide football but the domestic leagues.

The Premier League has already ruined football as we knew it everything is geared for the top sides to get bigger while the rest fight over the scraps ie basically avoiding relegation.

Players joining the breakaway, if it ever happens, can kiss goodbye to representing their countries ever again. Most of them are only interested in huge pay packets so they probably couldn’t care a toss anyway.

Lots of talk of it being a bargaining chip but of they announce the super league tonight as expected, it feels like it's gone further than that. UEFA surely won't bow to further concessions for the big sides as they are already backed into a corner. The rest of European football needs to come out swinging now.

I've just heard of this, what does it mean exactly?

I'm all for the top 6 leaving and doing their own thing with other European clubs, the rest of the country is better off without them. Unless, it's not that and it just means they'll get more money...which would make things even worse.

Isn’t it a rival to the champions league? They’ll still be planning on playing in the normal 3 domestic comps

Who has given permission for this? If uefa and the PL are against it then surely it can only be FIFA who approve? Hate football politics

Nobody. The 12 clubs have merely signed an intention. They want more money from UEFA. They also aren't football people and years of US franchise leagues are ingrained. Doomed to fail with virtually no support from any quarter.

Is not this the very same bunch who decided that a premier league in English football would be advantageous? The Advantages have only been to the greedy and their mates who in the old days of divisions 1, 2, 3 & 4 might have also found themselves fighting relegation the same as the rest  of us? Everything that was/is wrong with the pl is down to these same clubs. Good riddance for me

Thanks so they are essentially trying to throw their weight around? I'm disgusted by all the club's involved in this.

UEFA will sue the rubbish out of anyone who joins and look at banning players from Internationals as well as domestic games


@NimaTavRood
UEFA just released a statement
- clubs & players playing in #SuperLeague OUT from ALL UEFA & FIFA competitions
- UEFA will sue EVERY club participating in this #europeansuperleague €50/60 Billion

So their plan is to play in the ESL alongside their domestic leagues. The authorities have immediately said that's not going to happen. Expel them all. Call their bluff.
