- The fucking IRONY of Gary Neville kicking off about another turn in the game dividing the rich clubs from the rest, while holding a Sky Sports mic...Luda
- That was weird, but I thought he nailed it. Really got to the heart of why football exists in the first place.Ianbolton
- Not a fan of Sky but being a pundit on Sky Sports isn’t comparable to this ESL crap.NBQ00
- It is comparable as, when Sky took TV coverage of the PL, they had power to change kick-off times and funnel more £££ into the big clubs. This is the next step.Luda
- Neville benefitted massively from being at Man Utd during Sky's reign. I know it's not his fault and he didn't cause it...Luda
- ...but a rant on SKY SPORTS about more money driving a wedge between certain clubs is highly ironic.Luda
- 'BT Sport'? So that's why my phone bill keeps going up, when I barely use eeh fucking thing?Nairn
- On the plus side, could this be the kick up the arse plebs in the UK need to finally get off their overweight backsides and revolt?
No, of course not.Nairn - What is a Bottle Merchant?Chimp

On the plus side, I today learnt the wonderful phrase "bottle merchant".

Also, the people who make Charmin don’t really care about your ass.futurefood - Apples & Oranges. This would destroy the football system (domestic leagues, championships, etc) in Europe as we know it.NBQ00

Here’s the full video. So these owners really don’t give a shit and apparently secretly wish that their clubs get banned from their domestic leagues as well as their players banned from World Cup.

Klopp, what a great guy.

- That would make the German national team very happy.Continuity
- ^yes they want himrenderedred
- I love how the German teams have all said 'nah, we're good' to this whole thingIanbolton
- @renderedred Well, until now, it's been widely assumed Hansi Flick would take over, now that he's fucked FC Bayern off.Continuity
- But now, with this shitty super league and Klopp not being a fan, who knows.Continuity
- @Ianbolton Honestly, I'm actually a bit surprised. I would have imagined RB Leipzig would have been first in line to join, but apparently not.Continuity
- i have nothing but respect for german clubs for saying no.renderedred
- Would I be wrong in assuming that German clubs might still be more 'locally-owned'? Or is it simply a matter certain clubs being popular in Asia/America?Nairn
- Yeah the reason Germans not in is mostly because of the 51% rule that can’t allow Billionaire investors being majority shareholders.NBQ00
- All the 12 clubs taking part in the ESL are either owned by Billionaire investors or deeply indebted.NBQ00
- AFAIK the ESL clubs are promised $350 million per year regardless of performance. WTF. Easy to see why they want this.NBQ00
- @Nairn, for the most part yes. Notable exception is RB Leipzig, which is 99% owned by Red Bull, and was a stink all on its own.Continuity
- Also, Bayer Leverkusen and VfL Wolfsburg, but they're ancient clubs, and RB Leipzig was especially egregious.Continuity
- Thanks, both. Well, there's the problem right there. This country's like fucking USA-lite, but without any of the punching weight.Nairn
- Unfortunately it was just a rumor. He doesn't seem as critical about it as few years ago.NBQ00

- Zero faith in the umpiring contributed to the shocker of a review IMO.BusterBoy
- I was a bit disappointed as he should have been out, soured the victory a bit but still what an innings. All to play for now.fadein11
- Was an amazing innings. Just should have been an amazing innings in a losing side! :(BusterBoy

A player revolt would be awesome, all the best players join smaller sides and leave the big 12 clubs holding their dicks, or each others dicks, greedy clueless fucks.

European Super League: Uefa furious at 12 major clubs signing up to breakaway plans
- Yeah I just saw it all over twitter. It’s such a disgrace as Gary Neville said:NBQ00
- https://twitter.com/…NBQ00
- Fucking greedy cunts. It seems there’s no more back? At least they will be banned from all other competitions if they proceedNBQ00
- i think so too, fucked up!renderedred
- But it would also mean end of European football as we know it. Such greedy cunts.NBQ00
- i can just imagine hardcore fans fuming over this...renderedred
- roy keane was great too: "it's greed, pure greed."renderedred
- yup, greedy cuntsrenderedred
- and what will this do to the whole league system? premier league would stop existing actually.renderedred
- also heard that all german clubs refused to take part. respect!renderedred
- Most of these clubs are owned by billionaires. They don’t care much about fans or tradition & history. Just $$NBQ00
- JP Morgan is financing it: https://www.skysport…NBQ00
- and most of the owners are not locals which explains their logic...renderedred
- Let them do it. It won't work.
People won't watch it. Fans are leaving already. I reckon it's a bargaining tool. Support your local team.Fax_Benson - Your really local team.Fax_Benson
- All this outrage from famous Liverpool and man utd etc fans is a decade too late. The devil bought their souls long ago. What did they expect.Fax_Benson
- Euroleague basketball has been using this model for over a decade and its thriving. Champions league is only contested by 12 major clubs anyway_niko
- It’s been a farce since they opened it up to 4-5 clubs from the 5 biggest leagues. The days of steua Bucharest or red star Belgrade winning it are long gone_niko
- the romanticism of a local side winning it all also died and it became nothing but a business with the Bosman rule. This is just the next logical shitty step_niko
- It's not about the champions League, which is already in the process of being ruined, but more about all the domestic leagues and 100+ years of history thatFax_Benson
- will be ruined too.Fax_Benson
- Or what you said while I was typing slowlyFax_Benson
- I’ve read different things fax, do you get a sense that they will still compete in domestic leagues but this will be an extra competition, or will these teams_niko

- Super League is a farce. Destroying football. All these clubs now banned from domestic leagues and players banned from world cup. Greedy cunts.NBQ00

The thing these dumb fucks don't get is, and they keep dangling this as the main "reason" for this league, is that fans want to see big matches like Man United play Real Madrid which is true, they are great and special, but only because they are rare. If we see them every single week, it loses its lustre.
I want to see the underdogs, I want to see Leicester win it, I want to see a club that was in the 2nd or third division a few years ago battle their way up and compete with the big boys, and have a run at a European title.
That's what it should be all about.
- They don’t care about you, peasant. They want to market this to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, etc. Streamed on Disney+NBQ00
- ^, and thrice ^^^Nairn
- I don't give much of a shit about football. Not a football guy. Followed Toon a bit in the 90s, but then that whole Man U buy out thing poisoned everything.Nairn
- It's got nothing to do with jumpers for goalposts, it's KUWTK or Pop Idol for blokes and all of it is detestable.Nairn
- It's not Pop Idol. That at least gives an underdog a chance. That was a poor comparison. I meant the pageantry.Nairn
- i'm with you niko, i was living in bg when red star took the cup. it was amazing!renderedred
- Yeah Rendered, I could imagine. Speaking of which, Red star has more champions league titles than Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, PSG and Athletico combined! lol_niko
- one club most forget about is ajax. they ruled european football at one point.renderedred
- that's the thing, even if these clubs wanted to break away, You still have Ajax, Bayern, PSG, Marsaille, Celtic, Rangers, Borusia, PSV, Galatasaray, Fener,_niko
- Sevilla, Napoli, Roma, Lazio, Benfica, Porto, Lyon, Leverkusen, Leicester, West Ham, villa, newcastle, Leeds. So many great clubs to choose from._niko

WHAT A CUNT.
Florentino Perez: "We are thinking about making the football matches shorter. That was a point in our meeting room, 90 minutes might be too long for some football fans."
Florentino Perez: "If young people say football matches are too long, maybe it's because that match isn't too interesting or maybe we have to shorten the length of matches... We will see."
“There will be many European Super League games scheduled in the Middle East, Asia and North America to help generate more revenue for all the clubs involved in the competition. Dubai, New York and Shanghai are the current hotspots.”

Love this...
The 50+1 rule guards against this. In short, it means that clubs – and, by extension, the fans - hold a majority of their own voting rights. Under German Football League [DFL] rules, football clubs will not be allowed to play in the Bundesliga if commercial investors have more than a 49 percent stake.
