Ugly Mackems 133 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 England top 6. Spain x 3 and Italy x 3 (so far) All agreed in principle to join. G Neville calling them out passionately on SKY just now. Will it happen? Statement at 21.00 this evening apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30616 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 They can fuck right off. There will be a huge backlash with players being prevented from playing for their countries and potentially a boycott of any broadcaster who shows their matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30616 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 How much is enough? The Premier League is the most successful league in the world commercially but still they want more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9778 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 With the likes of Man City, Bayern and PSG not being involved UEFA has got some good leverage to take a tough stance. I think there will be a huge backlash from fans as well. I hope they choke on their greed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 This isn’t a surprise. The “big 6” are doing to the PL what the PL did to the FA. Football lost its way as the people’s game a long time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It’s ironic that Masters was doing the big 6’s bidding by fillibustering the saudi purchase of NUFC, like a good little lap dog, whilst they were plotting a break away which massively undermines the PL and his role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Wheres the fun in seeing the same 12 teams play each other every season? The PL will go acka over this. If finishing in the top 4 doesn't get you champions league football then the Premier League becomes very boring all of a sudden. Especially when the last few title wins have been decided weeks before the end of the season.

Howay 12496 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good riddance to the bloated boring cunts. They can fuck right off and play in their shite “super” league while the rest of the country can get on with the normal league system. I hope they do realize that naturally some of them will become the whipping boys, and the lower income members of that league right? I just find it such an absurd concept, so fans of Liverpool and Manchester United won’t be able to brag about being champions of England anymore, they can try and brag about this pish but who will give a fuck? I’ll personally put way more stock in the PL without them than their stupid super duper league. What the rest of the league need to do is put in stipulations that if they leave and decide they want to be back they have to start at the bottom of the ladder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9778 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Looking at it I think there are too many legal hurdles and obstacles to overcome to get this through. It’s probably just an attempt to blackmail the leagues and associations to give more money to the clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30616 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) If they ban all the teams involved in these shenanigans from European football then we’re only ten points off CL qualification.

CL would be places 5-8 presumably, with Europa places 9-11 Everton and West Ham in the Champions League and Villa and Leeds in the Europa. Kiss goodbye to the TV money for that too.

Wouldn't replace the champions league. This is a privately funded league and nowt to do with UEFA. The champions league would just have to go ahead without the best 12 teams in Europe. Top 6 UK clubs are probably seeing it as a clever blackmail plot to get UEFA and the FA to pay them a bigger share of the pot in the CL and PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial thought was that we’d be rid of them from the PL but see from what you and ewerk have said that they’d remain in the English leagues. Total load of rubbish. Mind I don’t see how the same sides playing each other each season in a closed shop competition like that could hold people’s interest in the long term? I suppose I’m coming from the perspective that I barely care about the CL and dislike all 6 of these clubs tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1207 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Got to be sanctions for the way in which they're going about this. If it goes ahead, ban them from domestic competition. If it doesn't, put in some kind of transfer ban or all clubs involved to be docked 40 points. It'll give us some sport at least to see if we can finish above them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
