Re: European football clubs agree to create a Super League

Definitely not right . . in a sporting sense, however the line between sport and business started to become blurred many years ago.

The list of clubs pushing for this are not necessarily the most successful, but are in the list of top 20 richest in the world (and quite possibly the top 20 of most debt).

Nice list here of the top 20 richest (scroll to nearly bottom)

https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/whic...j1m5mc753tv1us

Have a look, and try to guess the 3 clubs still waiting to be announced as 'founder members' with no relegation

Re: European football clubs agree to create a Super League

I wonder what Mourinho thinks about the new league? he's just been sacked from Tottenham.

Apparently he refused to take the team out to the training ground.


This could cost him the £30m sacking payout.

Re: European football clubs agree to create a Super League

I think it might mean we see less football on TV or online.

One thing is for sure, if this venture does get onto the runway the legal vultures will be rubbing their hands.

If it goes ahead I think football on TV may drop slightly, depending on the deals thrashed out by the broadcasting companies. But 'online' & 'pay per view' will probably go through the roof. There are millions of people out there willing to throw £20 (or more) per game at clubs/services to watch their team, and other teams, no matter how unexciting the football is

. . . and iadom is spot on with the vultures waiting to pounce, not just the legal ones, football agents with an interest in the best price for their 'clients' will be clamoring for more in an 'elite' competition*

May as well have a rota as to who's turn it is to win.

Re: European football clubs agree to create a Super League

To link it in with a running thread along the forum it gets round the problem of a global media company getting pan-European (or worldwide) rights to a major league in one go.

One for either of those two global power houses DAZN or Eleven Sports to snap up.

As much as I've referred to the death throes of DAZN elsewhere on the forum they are being linked to this. JP Morgan Chase are supposed to be financing this to the tune of $6bn. Doesn't take much more to prop up DAZN for a while longer - the league could take a stake in DAZN in the process vertically integrating the thing from top to bottom removing broadcasters from the process at all.

That rumor seems to have come from a random twitter account though

Re: European football clubs agree to create a Super League

Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid could be banned from next weeks Champions Leagues semi-finals.


It's on the sky app, but not the site

They should be kicked out of their domestic leagues, and not allowed to compete in any other competition.

Then the whole thing will just collapse in on itself.

They are trying to replace the champions league. The Premier league is still their bread and butter and like any greedy get, they still want their bread and butter. But they don’t want the winners of the bread and butter to have any cake. They have the cake guaranteed.

Kick them out of the premier league, and see how their fans, home and away fans, enjoy travelling to either the North West of England or Italy or Spain every other week to watch your team.

Kick them out of the premier league it’s the only way.

At the very least, the authorities could not allow income from this new league or whatever other arrangements, to be included in the Financial fair play rules.
