Neville bang on the money. I was having a rant in the house saying all the same things. Get them out, and if they want back in, join the pyramid. No doubt there will be some weasel worded , excremental missive from these robber barons later on. They should be punished with maximum force, even for signing any letter.
I can imagine half the players wouldn't want to be banned from premier league and for national teams therefore it wouldn't be all best players anyway. As Rowley said, ban the greedy idiots for signing the letter.
**** them. Wave them goodbye, kick them out of respective leagues and ban players from internationals. See how long it lasts.
The players need to speak out. Imagine the state of the England team in the Euro’s as it stands. Can think of a few decent forward players but you’d be scraping the barrel with defenders - no Maguire, Stones, Trippier, Shaw, Alexander-Arnold, Saka, Walker, James, Chilwell ....
Let them **** off and when the league folds if the clubs want to come back they come back as newco's in the lowest tier possible. As to England losing it's "stars" i don't think they'd lose many as i could see no need for home grown quotas in the prospective new competition. How many of the current England squad would be first choice if 12 clubs had their pick of every player in the world? If the players were banned from internationals it would balance itself out anyway
Clubs' final divorce from fans and from reality. Driven by American-looking money men who don't care a damn for the game. When you close your competition off from relegation then you lose half the competition. These clubs would need to be expelled from all national and international football associations and leagues and their entire record within each competition should be expunged. Their players should then be released from their club contracts because the clubs are no longer Uefa or Fifa affiliated and their academies should be closed because they no longer fit the purpose for which they were intended. All TV rights holders should bring a case against each of the clubs for devaluing the competitions.
thanks for that RTB, proud of Neville strong words which i fully support, now if the FA ever needed a leader by design its this guy perfect for the role, we need an FA with backbone perhaps he can lend them one
Reet, without wanting to get too technical but..how do person's/clubs set up a new league competition without FIFA backing it? I know FIFA are a cluster **** as well but surely people (no matter their wealth) can't just invent new competitions and invite whoever they want into it. I know Man Utd dropped out of the FA cup a few year ago to play in the club cup but that is a lot different to this ****e that has been suggested.
Try telling that to Kane and Rashford. Players like that need to speak out or they’ll be frozen out of the Euro’s because of their clubs’ actions.
Looks like they might have bottled it, no announcement yet. Can’t be arsed with the UEFA cup or Champions League these days until the very final stages because of how diluted they’ve become, watching a meaningless Super League has no chance
interesting point mate, i would love to see them frozen out, that will make the PL about ordinary clubs with good chairmen, not who is the richest
i can remember when half of England was gathered around tvs for the european cup and FA cup finals and were watched around the world
