European Super League

This idea is disgraceful & something has to happen. It makes us look worse considering we can't even beat Fulham anymore. What, are our board against us & want to see us getting done 4/5-0 week by week now?

In one way it makes Liverpool look stupid aswell tbf, they've got that theme going "You'll never walk alone" they might lose 75% of their fans now & they'll be alone with only a few other clubs then.

It’s guaranteed money and you can’t be relegated. When was the last time we played CL? At this rate we won’t for years.

Premier League without top 6? There goes at least 50% of your viewership

Thats what I see it as aswell partly, money. We currently don't have the funds to get as many big players anymore hence why we've gone down & this is probably an idea by the board to get us back up there so we have the funds again.

It does not really matter that much anymore for fans, fans as us and the thing that football had over all the other sports overseas is dead with it.

The ultimate final future is best 22 players against one another anyways.
It's all a matter of another 10-15 years.

Let me be clear hear, Super League vs. katar wc, UEFA, FIFA?
Absolutely totally fine, nothing is better really, but that's not the point in the argument, it is not about what hierarchy does it, it's what concept is being followed, what it means to our diversity of clubs and the magic of small clubs earning their place among the best.

Diversity, small clubs are killed here.

Pretty good chat on AFTV by Robbie and a couple of others on this by the way. It is what happens when ownership of clubs are foreign oligarchs and/or American. Many of these owners do not understand the roots of the domestic game and clubs that are deeply entrenched in the psyche of fans. The Kroenkes for example are far away, never even attending any matches. Their motivations have zero connections with any sports passion.

The irony of the pretty unanimous sentiment in this thread is this would be a shortcut for Arsensl to leapfrog back over Leicester, etc.. It would be artificial, but then again what knocked back Wenger quite a bit was the artificiality of City and Chelsea sugar daddies, now joined to a lesser extent by new ownership of Everton. The sentiment is right though, the soul of the game is being destroyed.

@American_Gooner at least we have an epic Alan rant to look forward to...

 

[Highbury_2006]

He wanted to expand the european cup.

If I was Arsenal or Sp**s (maybe even Liverpool) I'd be wary of this. If any club in the ESL was uncompetitive long term then it would hurt the "product" - no-one wants to see **** teams getting beaten 8-0 all the time.

Guaranteed down the track the biggest clubs will get together and put us up for relegation back to the EPL or whatever, we'll get replaced with Everton or someone in a heartbeat.

I can guarantee fans will get into it once it starts. Football fans always adjust. Just initial outrage and fear of change

I'm already there. Arteta can't hold us back anymore

Arsenal, leading the way

Also interesting is the talk of the Leeds -Rangers game in the European Cup
A great advert, AND the BAN on AWAY supporters proved a successful experiment.

Arsenal, on the forefront of History

I'm buzzing about it

Fantastic idea

100% guaranteed that Arsenal - and all the other Clubs - will have no problems finding enough 'fans' for their needs

Hilarious seeing fans act like they would watch Burnley vs Newcastle over this.

 

[<<reed>>]

Superclubs when they see they are playing Micky's London Rapids next

 

[razörist]

Big boy move this. We can’t get into the top European competition anymore and just make our own.

Muted games for betting adverts here we come



Might give it a look. Why should I choose Werder over another German team like say Stuttgart? @Toby Andrl

You should not. Support Stuttgart. Most exciting team in Germany atm
