    If you want a banner printing very quickly, Liverpool seems to be your best option...

    It really needs the fans of these big clubs to stand strong .
    That would be the only way to kill it .

    They must think that they will get alot of money from tv rights but if fans don't subscribe will be a flop within a few years imo. I wouldn't pay extra to watch.

    Probably made up by a Newcastle fan with thoughts of Ashley...

    Let them join it. Then hope it's a successful as the other super league, of which they have copied. Closed shop, hand picked teams, and playing each other three and four times a season. Like RL. They'll be begging to come back in a few months. Good riddance.

    I propose compulsory helmets, shoulder pads and face paint. Breaks in the game to allow tv advertising every 5 minutes and even more MOTD punditry.

    Ngl, I can see a few fans vandalising club shops and stuff, especially at Anfield and Old Trafford.

    Porto president Pinto da Costa has just confirmed they've rejected an invitation to join the European Super League.

    Clubs who join should be forced to give up their name. So Arsenal become KSE UK Utd, Liverpool FSG Inc, Man U Glazers Int (24 hour service available), and so on. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Good for them. Probably thought it more 'Make a Wish' than 'super' since they're including CL runners-up who can't even qualify for Europe on merit.

    Play in this proposed competition and you become ineligible to play for your national team...apparently this is also being mooted.

    What makes me seethe is that Bury could've been saved with 1% of what each of these clubs will get in one year for signing up to the Super League.

    Pressure should be put on broadcasters such as Sky/BT not to cover this elite league. Deals are probably on the table, if not already finalised, but let them know there'll be a price to pay if they support this mutiny. This also applies to the money grabbers running the show.

    Vote with your wallet, the fightback starts now - and well said Gary Neville.

    According to Wikipedia, there are 40,000 football clubs in England. The vast majority will be owned and operated by and for the community they represent, and the game is played for joy of the sport. Businessmen may have worked out how to turn a reliable, comfortable profit from what, the top 10? 15? The next 80-odd manage to hold their heads above water, by hook or by crook (no comment on the crooks). The rest are doing it for love.

    For the professional game, the concept of an owner being a custodian of the club for the benefit of this and future generations are given lip service, at best. There simply aren't enough people like Les Hare or Dale Vince around with very very deep pockets - in the old days, "normal" levels of rich like Delia Smith or Elton John could make you a fan-owner. Nowadays you need to be someone like the Srivaddhanaprabha family, who are a (welcome) anomaly in the PL, but I still don't understand why they want to own a club.

    So, for what it's worth, for me the so called "Top 6" can **** right off, and I look forward to the day when their phoenix clubs apply again to the league and we make them sweat for re-admission. I hope the entire greedy bastard ownership of the ESL lose everything and go bankrupt. If they want to create a closed Franchise FC league then they can create their own code and concentrate on the corporate, sanitised, televised experience and get out of our game. The rest of us can get on with the joy and despair, hope and dread, freezing feet and sunburnt necks, experience of live local football up and down the country.

    According to what I've heard (no idea if it's true) Morgan Stanley are paying £500 billion to set up this ****e.

    Shame Accrington didn't get an invite!

    UEFA President Ceferin threatens players from Super League clubs with being banned from Euros...

    “My opinion is that as soon as possible they have to be banned from all our competitions, and the players from all our competitions."

    "I cannot stress more strongly how everyone is united against these disgraceful, self-serving proposals, fuelled by greed above all else."

    “These are so-called big clubs, it is clear that the big clubs of today were not always big clubs. Juventus were in Serie B, Man United before Sir Alex Ferguson was I don't know where”.

    "How can you see all your fans protesting and not care? I have had enough that football clubs are assets. They (clubs) want more and more and more."

    "I got a letter signed by I don't know who because there wasn't a name on it. Probably it was a 'Super Person' <laugh>

    And that's another thing I resent. Forcing us to work with the corrupt and self-serving bastards at UEFA and FIFA against this thing. They're only agin it because it threatens their own incomes, but I suppose the enemy of your enemy is your friend and all of that.
