Don't worry folks, the Scottish Super League featuring Scotland's big 6 Hibs, Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Dundee United and Brora is still going ahead.
No. I think the people involved will have learnt a thing or two though. Number 1 is to get your FA and Uefa to ok it.Quote:

Yes, and that offers an opportunity to reform the game that cannot be wasted. The owners of these clubs are now vulnerable; the governing bodies, the fans and even government must turn the screw on them by forcing change.Quote:

Attempting to establish a breakaway league without permission from the FA and UEFA is clearly a breach of the terms of membership.Quote:

How is the super league with Hearts Inverness and Stranraer getting on?
In which case the game is lost once and for all. This could be the moment when there is one final chance to reverse that trend, but it requires cooperation amongst many groups. This could be October 1917, comrades :greengrinQuote:

Are the North London clubs staying in with a hope of winning it..?
Strong statements from the English politicians today who weren't going to be making things at all easy.
Opportunism of course but the English clubs began to see a juggernaught coming towards them from all conceivable sides.
It will all fall apart now and UEFA don't need to bend over and take it any longer and should pull back on their own reconstruction such as the offensive "wildcards" into the Champions League from 2024.
id rather it was July 1936 :greengrinQuote:

Liverpool confirmed they’re out
All English clubs now out.
These owners should be jailed for this.
