Time to see if theose press releases earlier were all hot air or if the football authorities will grow some bollocks Shots fired and civil war well and truly underway
No Spurly You could always try supporting proper local clubs For Ponky that would be Plymouth or Yeovil I think Chelsea fans could support Brentford or QPR Liverpool supporters could support Tranmere or Marine The options are endless
But I only love my team...I won’t get that same feeling pretending to care about another team...will have to pack it in and take up sewing or pottery in my spare time.
Nope. It's a cartel not a sport. If they are so scared of other clubs that they have to lock them out of the league then I wouldn't want to scare them with any attention.
All 12 founding clubs have resigned from the ECA. Amazon and DAZN will be showing the games apparently, wondered why Sky and BT were slagging it off so much before
Now that they have publicly and officially signed up to the league, their should be an extraordinary meeting of the remaining 14 clubs of the PL where the expulsion of these clubs from the PL is discussed. It won't happen, but it should.
Just need to make sure if I do choose a new team it’s one of the ones who will be winning the new domestic league on a regular basis
It would **** over the rest of the league financially if they kicked them out. The owners of the other clubs are probably no better than the 6 who signed up, they just didn’t get the invite
They’ve just seen the profit based on numbers. Not realising that the whole point of football is its soul. The passion for the clubs comes from each city and town. This is unforgivable.
Totally agree that many of the other owners (including my own team's) would have signed up given the chance, but I would genuinely feel the same if they did. And yes, there would be financial pain and lots of it. But the alternative is to roll over and let it happen, and once they do that then there will be another change where they keep even more of the money, and repeat and repeat. The domestic game would eventually recover without them if they stand up to them, though maybe not awash with so much money. It might even be fairer and more enjoyable. The alternative will kill off the rest anyway in time, leaving us with a franchise system of a handful of clubs across Europe.
I’m not gonna lie if it happens I might have to pretend I don’t watch Spurs to you guise but carry on doing it anyway...maybe for a while at least
They’ve basically said that the millions of fans globally are more important than the 100k (from each club) or whatever fans who go to games regularly. Im sure that fans in the Far East and India are buzzing at the idea of seeing Barca v Man City every week. It’s just whether or not their are more ramifications than this just effectively replacing the Champs League. Fixture congestion being the obvious one, the group stage will be 18 midweek games. That is going to **** up the domestic schedule completely
It doesn't matter how super the league is, somebody still has to be bottom (and that's not a dig at Spurs). Eventually one European team would become the Cleveland Browns of this European franchise. How much fun will that be for whichever set of fans it is?
Oh agree that they should do it, just that they won’t. It’s essentially getting business owners to vote to completely **** themselves financially. It won’t happen
