What a mess this all is, and will be.
I didn’t think anything could top last summer and hearts valiant fight against injustice for entertainment value but this summer will be fun.
im going to stock up on the popcorn

Ron’s seemed completely fine since he’s came in, taken a good interest in the roots of the club and community activity, nothing at all to suggest he’s going to be any sort of problem so far.

He's ambitious and he wants to take the club to successful new levels but he made it clear from day 1 that this was going to be a gradual process, starting with helping the club be solid financially as a base to work off.
I like his style tbh. Look what Romanov did with Hearts for example, came in promising them the world, they had a relative bit of success but then it all came mightily crashing down on them and they were a bawhair away from losing the club altogether. RG seems like a sensible guy and not a Romanov like heid case and I have faith that STF sold to a man that would look after the club.
Back to the original topic - the Super League is sheer and utter greed and once again people at the top happy to **** on true fans for money. Shameful and its this shameless level of greed that is absolutely ripping the heart out of football. Clubs absolutely selling their soul. As someone mentioned in a comment above, the true fans might walk away because you're always going to pack out the stadiums with tourists etc. But is that really what they want?! Stadiums packed with tourists, watching the game behind their camera phones instead of a stadium of passionate, true supporters. Corporate cold if you ask me.

RG has been a good owner so far. No complaints from me. He certainly seems to care more about on field success.

I like Ron and he’s done well so far but a lower level version of this super league stuff would provide a concrete reason for getting involved with Hibs. It explains the increased American investment in football clubs generally, not just Hibs.

It’s not even an NFL style model that they are proposing. Yes, there’s no relegation, but that’s where the similarities end really.
The NFL has tightly controlled budget / wage caps. Fixture lists are weighted depending on success, with the lowest performing teams also getting first pick of the draft talent the next year. The whole thing is setup to prevent any one team from dominating, with a fair chance that even the worst performing teams will eventually pick up enough quality draft picks to bounce back.
The ESL just seems to be a free for all for the 12 to continue spending without restraint. Their squads will get bigger and more highly paid, transfer fees will inevitably rise and so on. Even with the sort of revenue they seem to be imagining they’ll get, the sums still don’t seem to add up. Most of these clubs are already saddled with vast debts. I’m sure there will be the possibility for the likes of the Glazers to rip out more cash for themselves, but feels like the house of cards would still collapse, almost certainly if global interest falls short of expectations.
I’m actually surprised there isn’t some sort of budget / wage cap involved, unless there is and they haven’t announced it yet.

Surprised UEFA haven’t threatened it yet but I would imagine there will be a ban on Super league teams sending out players on loan to the domestic leagues, and that Barca and Madrid will loose there B teams. Could be a very good thing.

One thing is clear though, it’s only going to happen if you take the governing associations with you.

I noticed that reading someone who else’s post afterwards. Decided my point pretty much stood the same though.

Have to say, now I’ve seen Klopp, feels like he shat out of saying the right thing to be honest.
