But they are nowhere near as big as Arsenal, Man City or certainly not Tottenham  |

maybe it's a big sham to try and get their hands on their own TV rights in exchange for dropping it

Yep. Float something fucking ridiculous, then make it look like a "win" when you just get a bigger slice of the existing pie. Hope bluffs are called all round but it won't happen. |

the Premier league is an open league and anyone can earn the right to be in it. money also filters throughout the league systems and into grassroots.
this super league will never happen. fan power will win.
Prem would love to pull up drawbridge if they could and although they're mildly benevolent, the terms get worse as time passes. Sky & Gary Neville's moral high ground is even more nauseating when they kicked off PPV and the greed league, fuck 'em. |

Premier League shot with their own gun! Didnt give two fucks about the league in the 90s when they set it up..took all the money and gave the league a whiff of their piss now and again.
Everton, villa and Newcastle and the like, all flicking the Vs as they put on their new shiny kits.....they ain't fucking laughing now!

With 6 teams dropping out of the prem to take part, I see this as our great escape. Fill the leagues by having promotions and no relegations. We are staying up!

Indeed. It means they can drop the proposal and then just quietly shoe-horn in the expanded Champions League that achieves much the same but with more meaningless games which no-one wants as "responding to public opinion". Cunts. Cut them adrift and let them die in irrelevance with Arsenal and Spurs doomed to a permanent Sisyphean doom of spending the next 50 years getting their arses kicked as the Fulham of Europe, without even the prospect of a redemptive post-relegation promotion. Just season after season of being whipping boys for the big lads. Will be a big seller on the streaming channels for the S&M enthusiasts |

It’s ironic,though, when we could have fans but no club while the ‘elite’ will have a club but dwindling fans.
I’m 100% sure fans of those clubs are dreading the prospect. If it goes ahead I hope that FIFA/EUFA/PL make good on their threat to expel them from their competitions and banning players from representing their countries.
It’s all very Kerry Packer ish x 100.

So this will work like the EUFA Nations League as in it's an additional competiton rather than a breakaway league? The clubs will still participate in their domestic leagues but are adding more fixtures to their already busy season. Ridiculous idea fuelled by greed.
