And it can’t exist without the smaller clubs also, that’s generally how life and society works the people at the top can’t survive without the people at the bottom.

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't change my point. UEFA's threats are empty.

Good ol jp Morgan, I’m sure they have just as much blood on their hands as these murderous states people like to go on about.

I imagine the players wages will go up significantly in the ESL. Would you turn down a pay rise for the good of the game?

scouseman · « **Reply #245 on:** April 18, 2021, 04:34:11 pm »

So this means that players would not be allowed to play in the European championships or world cup etc?

This seems like the football version of basketball's Euroleague competition? Always thought it was a bit odd.

The Premier League board sh1tting it that they will lose there own cash cow and huge wages.

SKY and BT and Worldwide TV companies won't be paying billions for rights without those clubs.

Should have thought of that before not properly implementating financial fair play. Cheerio

You think the premier league does. Does the premier league give a sh1t that the murderous Manchester City owners use their brand to sport wash their crimes?

How would it affect the fans?

The ones who travel to away games, certainly. The clubs should subsidise travel at least otherwise the atmosphere will be shit, and they wouldn't want that for a new product.

But other than that, I don't see any negative effects.

Lose respect in any Liverpool fan who thinks this is a good idea (which counts for a lot I know)

The Premier League was never a good idea. It killed English league football as we knew it. Still, it happened, and it was a huge financial success ...

Exactly, if only we could change the PL, UEFA and FIFA and actually put in people who are interested in making the game transparent overall that would at least be a start, in the right direction.

you don’t see a negative playing in a competition of the same 12 every year, including 5 teams we play constantly anyway?

It’d be crap. Any closed shop competition is.

Isn't there going to be a promotion/relegation of 5 teams each season?

Is it really THAT different to how the Champions League is now? Basically the same 25 or so teams qualify each year

How long has it taken to get the 20's plenty campaign over the line? The policing is like you are cattle, the piss poor and over priced refreshments, the whole start to finish feel of being a second class citizen versus - a European away, the bar owners virtually drag you in, they don't mind sing songs, they want you to eat, be merry and be yourself, policing granted can be like over here, but its far better in Europe than over here, in my experiences as a fan.

This country is shit and treats its fans like shit.

Completely finished with the club if this happens, genuinely... don’t think i’ll be the only one

Nice of them to ask the fans for an opinion wasn’t it... complete piss take to match going fans IMO

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #275 on:** April 18, 2021, 04:51:22 pm »

So basically this replaces the champions league/europa league for us and we would still compete in the Premier League? Don’t mind that to be honest as the new CL format looks stupid.

Same here. I'll be looking for a lower league club to support.

Lads football died a death many years ago. Anyone getting all high and moral about leaving a league that allows oligarchs and dodgy state owned companies to own clubs is delusional. Spend 5 minutes googling Manchester Citys owners and then read the premier leagues laughable statement about the integrity of the game.

ScouserAtHeart · « **Reply #278 on:** April 18, 2021, 04:52:04 pm »

There will be no premier league if we join the super league also.

Why not? We can play in the Premier League, but decide not to play in the Champions League, and play in the ESL instead ...
