[Football] Liverpool and Manchester United lead ‘European League’ breakout league idea

[The Fits]

Sherwood, who is a bit of a mug, is spot on on SSN. Saying that the European clubs involved have been mismanaged and are piggybacking on the success of the English clubs/Premier League.

 

[Hampster Gull]

These owners and ceos are not very streetwise, unbelievable

 

[Farehamseagull]

I can’t stand their clubs but massive, massive credit to the fans of the big 6. Without their backlash and intervention, this abomination would be going ahead still.

I didn't even know that Reading were in it.

European Super Tinpot League.

At least Woodward still has a job as vice chairman of ESL

 

[studio150]

Expect the boards of the 6 clubs are probably pleased that the grounds won't be full for some time in the hope that the backlash against them will be muted despite the ESL collapsing

 

[Uter]

I disagree. The idea is now toxic and will require unilateral resignation from the current set ups, and players banned from international teams. The amount of money needed to make that a safe bet for the psycho six and their EU counrerparts is beyond imagining, and the amputation of these clubs from the body of football will kill global interest, kill viewer numbers and kill income in the new venture, rendering it doomed.

It's over. Only a fool will try again.

I'm inclined to agree.

They have used the threat of a breakaway to leverage ever more favourable distribution of the CL broadcasting money for years.

This is the first time it's actually been acted on.

And it has crumbled within 24 hours. In the most embarrassing and damaging fashion imaginable.

This is a spectacular own goal that will haunt them for years. Their "trump card" has been shown to be founded on hubris and nothing to be feared.

The credibility of a breakaway threat has evaporated.

They had it so good but could not see it.

Fans United [emoji106].

 

[Poojah]

All 12 of these teams should at the very least be immediately kicked out of the currrent champions league and replaced by teams knocked out in previous rounds and then excluded from next years competition.

This and 30 point domestic deductions all round. West Ham win the title, Spurs and Arsenal get relegated while everyone involved is automatically out of next season’s CL.

I’m not even joking - a serious shot across the bows needed here. As I tell my wife as she’s bollocking the kids one moment then giving them an ice cream the next - THEY WON’T FÚCKING LEARN!!!11

FSG have put Liverpool up for sale, Juventus President had gone.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Souness just been told in his earpiece to stop talking about ESL

 

[1066familyman]

Brilliant news - the big six have demolished much of their own power, influence and respect within the space of about 40 hours - couldn't have been planned any better.

Bye bye chinless Ed Woodward - never to be seen again with luck.

Oh goodie, when do we get the German model of club ownership then?


Oh.

 

[Swansman]

The chaos. Love it.

 

[dazzer6666]

Juve chairman now resigned

Even after all these years, Fans United is still very much a thing.

 

[Hugo Rune]

I hope UEFA now crush the 12.

 

[vagabond]

Man this is some gangster shit.

 

[Swansman]

Juve chairman now resigned

Remarkable stuff. The Agnellis have owned Juve for 98 years.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Man this is some gangster shit.

Brings to mind the end of the film Casino where debts get paid and things get sorted out.
