A super league in Europe isn’t about football, it’s about greed and maximising profit, they can sod off and disappear up their own bank balances for me, and that does include Chelsea yes. :D

It has always been on the cards since they changed the format from the European cup to the Champions League.

The article is not the main focus of my post, it is the comments (at the bottom) and passion for our domestic football from over 1800 fans. Most of them, like Freez above put affection for the English game
before the support of their own team.

Once these greedy clubs start playing all over the world, spare a thought for the supporters of these parasites who have followed and paid out good money and made the history to get right shafted by the likes of greedy owners .Get rid of the premiership and lets have the 72 EFL clubs plus the conference getting our own deal with a tv company
Yes it will be hard for some clubs, but lets get our own rules/regs and have the fans on the board with elections to a new Efl board.
Lets get back to fans football, even get the anglo italion cup back.

I'd like to see a cup involving Scottish teams and L1&L2. Every time a Scottish club has come to play us in a friendly, their fans have been brilliant.

There used to be something called the Scottish Challenge Cup that was similar to this, a few teams from the other home nations were invited to play in it.

It's all kicking off with UEFA and European Leagues after 12 teams sign up to a Super League.

Hope we get a statement from the club soon saying we won't join it, leave that for the likes of Salford and Forest Green to join

Yep, all German clubs must be 49% fan owned. Good for them.

Incredibly disappointing news.

I know a lot of Arsenal fans are quite disgusted with the club (owners) and looking to boycott. Not sure how many will follow through, but hopefully enough to send a message.

A lot of people are saying this is just a bargaining chip the already greedy bigger clubs are using to get even more power and money for themselves. I hope it fails. I personally wish we had the same model in this country that they do in Germany. People like the Russian gentlemen at Chelsea and the Americans at Manchester United are a bad thing for the game. Good thing for their own pockets, no doubt. But bad for the rest of us - and the game in general in my view.

The six clubs are owned by four Americans (Liverpool, Man Utd, Spurs, Arsenal), one Russian (Chelsea) and a Gulf state (Man City). I have no doubt that they have the best interests of English football at heart :lol: I’m sure that Arsenal and Spurs fans will be happy that they are now classed as big clubs

Spurs are owned by Joe Lewis who is British although he lives in the Bahamas. If you go by support then Spurs are certainly bigger than Man City , Liverpool , Arsenal and Chelsea. Trophies aren't the be all and end all of club size.

As a Spurs fan I am appalled by the new "Super League" and hope they are all banned from our competitions.

What you just said about spurs being the bigger club than all the others makes no sense, but when you said you are a spurs fan now it makes sense.

How many clubs other than Spurs could get record crowds of 85,000 for league games when using Wembley as a home ground ?

A couple of years ago there was a vote in Bundesliga to get rid of the 49% fan owned structure as 2 or 3 clubs are not owned this way and I think it was seen that if extra money came into the league teams could be more competitive compared to their european competitors. However all the clubs voted to keep the current structure even the clubs that weren't fan owned :shock:

I think Klopp will walk away from Liverpool in the summer and go back to Germany.

Every other club you mentioned bar city. And that would be excluding day tripping fans of Son.

So Spurs have this morning sacked their manager. Could it be for speaking out AGAINST the wishes of the owners regarding a so called Super league.... :?: :?: :?: :?:

Could be but it could also be something to do with Harry Kane wanting out?

If Mourinho was sacked for opposing the super league and speaking out against the board, then good on him. This proposition is the embodiment of everything that's wrong with modern day football.

Big if, but if that is the case then I would hate to actually agree and be proud of Jose on something.

Seems unlikely though. Unfortunately it's more likely all the money from the ESL allows Levy to pay out his contract without worrying so much.

This whole proposal stinks BUT assuming that it does go ahead what is left of the Premiership (or whatever it would be called) could result in a more competitive league (assuming that the greedy 6 are expelled from the Premiership) and could see the likes of Wolves get involved in a title chasing season alongside other clubs who as it stands have no chance of becoming Champions.

Interestingly on BBC1 Midday News a Wolves fan is all in favour of the new league for the reasons I've posted above so not everybody is against.... :o
