Mantis Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I don't believe the government should be getting too involved in this. It's something that primarily the footballing world needs to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, much worse - and those revised rules are awful. This is an order away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I presume that UEFA have checked their legal case for banning any player to play internationally if this super league occurs. The IAAF have had a lot of trouble stopping drug cheats from competing at events. If one of the main aims of this charade is for the 12 clubs to gradually lower wages, then what is it to stop a billionaire Arab or Indian businessman to set up a rival superleague and offer a 1 million a pound week wages in the future?

OutByEaster? Posted April 19, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) The last day of the season will be interesting. 10,000 Villa fans against Chelsea on the last day of football in the UK. That ought to be 10,000 opportunities to delay kick off, 10,000 opportunities to make a banner, 10,000 opportunities to sit on the pitch, 10,000 opportunities to get in front of a camera, 10,000 opportunities to disrupt, demonstrate and display fans unhappiness at what Chelsea are doing.

I'd quite enjoy just a mass booing. For all fans playing against one of the dirty dozen. It won't achieve anything. but it would be quite an epic display of displeasure. Just constant booing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 Shame there are no fans in stadiums now. Imagine the reaction of fans as the pooper 6 came out to play being jeered by both sets of fans. The away grounds would be so hostile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is probably something in the competition law if they were allowed to stay in the Premier League. Let football try to sort it out first though.

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I just don't think it's feasible for the PL not to kick them out. Each club invited are getting an additional £350 million a season. PL clubs just can't compete, and that's with the CURRENT tv deal. They have to get kicked or the rest of the PL and EFL might as well just start their own league.

VillaJ100 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 1 hour ago, MadridVilla said: Something to think about. What happens if a club is voted out of the Super League? It's not inconceivable that a permanent member who consistently underperforms (Spurs/Arsenal) would be removed, and replaced with the next big thing from the domestic game, especially seeing as this is all about money. Or maybe Florentino Perez decides he doesn't want Atletico Madrid in the Super League anymore, as he wants to avoid competition from his local rivals? What happens then? Presumably they will try to come back to the domestic leagues, but what league do they come back into? They aren't likely to be welcomed back into the top division straight away, if at all. I would argue that no league would welcome them back at all. You could be looking at a situation where if a club is removed from the Super League for whatever reason, the club has nothing to compete for, and simply ceases to exist. I want them to just go and make a massive failure out of it, leaving the way for the rest of football to actually play competitively. If these clubs want to become football's Harlem Globetrotters then they can go The premier league would bend over and have a 26 team league for one season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
