OK, let's put it like this, isn't it the case that the vast majority of the fans support "big" clubs? So who is actually watching Steaua, Dundlak, or Lokomotiv? That's why the CL is crap for 95% of the time, and the greedy clubs want to fix that and earn some great money with that.

I wouldn't mind watch Real - Juventus game in the middle of the week, but I won't pretend like you that I have any ****ing interest in Steaua even if they reach semi finals, and that goes for 95% of the fans out there

Speak for yourself. Not trying to be rude with that comment but I like seeing the underdog take out the big dog once in a while. Plus, fans support local teams all the time because it is their home team so I don't think "95% of fans" don't care about "little or lesser known teams"

Didnt they say the exact same thing yesterday?

German clubs are always difficult and not surprised by bayern they not owned by Americans or country so they'll think about the fans first

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Kroenke to be kicked out inshallah

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

Bayern just released a Statement ruling out joining the ESL. Dortmund surely next.

 

[Riou]

Bayern doing a Fabian Delph I see, they will join.

Though hope they don't, as I would love to see them get ****ed over by not joining tbh

Yes it was thier chairman i guess

Auba and Willian. Spend the next two years making 500k a week without even having to play.

Didn't Nketiah repost Bamford's comments on his Insta? Also, I believe Laca and Auba liked comments made by Pep about the Super League.

that’s best case scenario that this forces kroenke out

Wrong approach. Need to go zero tolerance.

Local fans account for <1% of potential fans of a team with an international presence.

Execution? I dunno...

The fact that the PR for this has been so bad and incompetent suggests to me they know no one can stop them. If they thought this depended on convincing people of their arguments, of winning them over, they'd have hired the best PR firms in the world and paid them millions. Instead they announced a tacky website on a Sunday night, none of the clubs have said a singe thing, and Perez has gone on a chintzy talk show. They're not bothering to win hearts and minds, they've dropped the bomb, it's done, they're not backing out, it's been in planning for years. It's happening.

I actually believe the opposite. They did not think the project thoroughly and didn't expect the massive backlash either. From a legal standpoint, they will have to fight 2 leagues, the UEFA and other clubs not to mention fans associations. Politically it is toxic to a point that a clown like Boris is leading the charge since he can score cheap political points from it. Big clubs like Bayern, PSG, Porto, Benfica, OL, BVB are taking their distances. Infantino came out strongLY against it. Hard to see this getting serious tractions.
I was listening to a Manchester University lecturer of Sports law commenting on the project on the BBC and she said in conclusion it will be hard for this venture to survive with all the legal and political challenges it will be facing.

After such a Statement they cannot do a 180. Will get killed by Fans.

"Stan, sorry, but you can't come back to this county...Brighton and Wolves are waiting outside your house."

Bring out the guillotines!

I tell ya Abra will use this to strike a deal with the gov.

Not too late for AFC to do the right thing......

Nah, it is City, specially since PSG and Qatar may get the upper hands on this.
