    In the time between you last won the title, Leeds have won it three times in three decades and been relegated all the way to League 1 and promoted back to the Premier League <laugh>

    The idea is 2 decades old, the timing isn’t a coincidence.

    I'm just wondering what the financial model is for all this, especially after Spurs spent a Billion quid buidling a new ground, that's a massive investment that will take time to recover back.

    The only way I can see the European Super League going is to Pay Per View TV, much the same as the boxing, American style, which it has been for decades in the states.

    That model has never worked in the UK for the Premier League, because we've always been a subscription service, albeit the EFL did adopt Ifollow and charge fans such as myself during the pandemic matches at £10 a throw - I was willing to pay that, but it's already been shown, EPL supporters are not.

    So it's all well and good the financial backers offering billion dollar incentives, but where's the money coming from, against a ground that is in affect already owned by the NFL not Tottnham Hotpur, just saying bruv. <whistle>

    And? Hull have played in the top-flight since we won the title. It's been a long ****ing time! <laugh>

    The simple way to show this is true is just to reverse the question: If they're right, then why invite Spurs?

    Not at all. I'm hoping it all falls through. Like Sunderland.

    Yeah, but I'm under no illusion that Hull are anything but a small-to-medium sized yo-yo club. I don't pretend anything different.

    We've still won as many European Cups as Supa Spurs :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    You've never won anything. Royal Engineers have won more than you and they're a part of the army.
