European Super League

[Makingtrax]

We wasn't invited, KSE were central to making it a thing

That’s because they’re sh!t at running a football club and can see us losing revenue hand over fist unless they rig a league to stop us competing against better run clubs with less money.

Dortmund will NOT join this abomination.

Lol, they will

Arsenal have been advocating for this super league since the early 1990's. (I'm surprised not many people know this.) David Dein pushed for this back then and later headed up the G14 clubs where they discussed doing this for years but they needed the right moment. With the effects of the pandemic and the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid in serious financial trouble they HAD to do something. Now, that moment has come people are sounding surprised....

I doubt David Dein advocated for a closed league where your only means of entry was by buying a seat at the table.

I’m gonna wait and see how this unfolds before I make sweeping statements. I’ll be honest before it was confirmed I didn’t care.

Doesn’t feel good though. I think people thinking we will invest to match the teams we will get humped by every week will be bitterly disappointed.

This whole season feels like a waste and I was upset over our league position for nothing.

I'm actually surprised that anyone knows this

David Dein and the G14 wanted precisely this

Looking at the numbers this would actually make us more competitive with the likes of City. You want Grealish or another CM this summer? Well you have enough for both now.

What incentive is their for Kroenke to spend money on the likes of Grealish when he's pocketing cash for finishing bottom of this thing? This is a dream come true for the likes of him. He doesn't have to spend to try and get top 4 for the CL money anymore.

This really feels like footballs jumping the shark moment.

Hairspray and Eduardo Hagn is the ideal fans for these billionares.

No one’s pretending that UEFA is whiter than white. Far from it. But at least all the competitions we have now are based on meritocracy. And yes Man City make it highly unlikely that just any team can rise to win the Prem but the dream is still there and Leicester did it against all odds. Chorley FC can dream of winning the FA Cup and San Marino can dream of winning the World Cup.

But a league by invitation only, based on your ability to pa, and where no one gets demoted or promoted is wrong in principle. By and large these teams already play each other in the CL, so why exclude a team like Leicester or West Ham who can forge ahead of a club like Arsenal when it’s badly run and managed.

Its wrong in principle. Why should poorly run clubs be given a permanent seat at the big table while well run more innovative clubs be denied the opportunity to compete. Its so wrong and just the traditional elite trying to avoid having to compete to maintain their position.

People need to remember all these pundits will be up in arms about this, but for the right reasons? They'll all be out of jobs with this.

Embrace it or don't, it's the way the world is now.

He didn't 'advocate' for that, as he knew at that time it wouldn't go through

Secretly though that was 'exactly' the plan

it's only here to keep humans of the real important topics going on right now.
are you not entertained, robots?

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Let's also not forget that things will evolve. A second super league could easily be formed, more teams can be invited etc etc. Its not just narrow minded 15 teams done.

Sp**s don't want Jose in ESL

 

[Vicki]

It's true though, the average finsbury park arsenal fan cannot afford to go to the Emirates every two weeks.

On one hand you want global support on the other hand you want the club to be rooted in the community. Which one is it? All this stuff about English football tradition is a load of old cobblers, it's fundamentally a class issue.

Well done Sir
Spot on

A sad day. I was #JoseIn.
