GENTLEMAN Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 6 minutes ago, Stevo985 said: It doesn't appear the Super League want to use Sky. They want to keep games in house on PPV streams. Sky will rightly be shitting themselves. They've paid billions and billions of pounds for the Premier League rights and now they're potentially going to be losing 6 of the biggest fanbases. This is why there's talk of leagues suing the clubs. Sky and BT will want rebates, and the PL will want that paid for by the clubs My cursory understanding is that the 'founding SL members' want to remain in their respective domestic leagues. Basically the SL replaces the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will it work though, fans that want to watch all the games will have to subscribe to 12-15 different services? I can't see how that is realistic.

Follyfoot Posted April 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2021 Not sure if this has been said already but does anyone think it’s some form of a ruse from them just to get more favourable terms on the restructure of the Champions League which just happens to be this week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be on Amazon IMO. The broadcasters have to worry about getting people to subscribe in a way that Amazon simply don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 31 minutes ago, villalad21 said: Why would these clubs care about being kicked out of Uefas competition when they would generate more income from the SL? These are global clubs with massive global fanbases. Whereever they go they will always fill the stadiums and generate a ridiculous amount of income. I meant more about what UEFA might do if the PL allow these clubs to continue playing. Obviously the SL clubs won't be playing but maybe they'll decree that no club from England plays in UEFA European competition while PL teams play in the SL.

If players and managers got united and spoke out against this the SL would not happen. Players and managers hold all the power. Instead they probably all be thinking with their own wallet and their own interests. It's sickening. Really hate society.

Almost certain that is exactly what it is. Without the need to qualify for the Super League it is nothing more than a glorified friendly tournament like the Audi Cup, the Emirates Cup or the glorious Peace Cup. Long term it would fizzle out and I think they know that, they're just desperate for CL reform and extra games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Also it seems a bit random to me... for example why should Tottenham be invited to join it and not Leicester? Yes, Spurs reached the CL final two years ago but what have they actually won in the last ten years? Whereas Leicester won the PL quite recently (and may be about to win the FA Cup). I guess it must be because Tottenham have more money, a huge amazing new stadium, a bigger fanbase... And Arsenal, yes they've won three FA Cups recently but if I remember rightly they've finished outside the top six several times in the last ten seasons or so. They risk finishing in the bottom half this season. So that seems a bit unfair in my view. As for no relegation, that's even more unfair! What if West Ham, for example, go from strength to strength in the next few years and continue to play better than one of the big six teams (e.g. Arsenal, Tottenham or Liverpool). Should they not then be in the ESL instead of that big six team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
