seems like this is an opportunity for a few big name footballers to become heroes. If Messi and Ronaldo in particular had any integrity, they would come out and say that they think this is an appalling idea and that they will not play for any club that is part of it. They are near the end of their careers anyway, their contracts with Bercelona and Juventus will be over by the time this new league is due to start and they have made more money than they can possibly spend and influence millions of people. If they held a joint press conference it would be huge.

An unnamed board member's insights into these proposals. The level of contempt for the current setup is utterly nauseating.
The FA should hammer these clubs harshly and immediately.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

All true, but he’s not challenging the validity of the pyramid itself.
That is a very important distinction, and also the reason why the OF attempt to get parachuted into the EPL was (rightly) met with widespread contempt.
Promotion / relegation is critical to the culture of European football imo. Do away with it and the game really is gone.

Eh? Of course it does... you need to check your facts before commenting. The new league is by invitation, not sporting merit.
And do you work for JP Morgan or something? You seem to be a staunch defender of this hideous new plan, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear to me.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Are viewing figures going up for the current set up, as i certainly dont watch half as much of the Champions league, and i'd be the same with this new system?
How will it be funded?

Funnily enough, I think this is where this new league is heading. The US owners can’t understand why so much of the money generated goes to the players.

It’s not entirely an unfair criticism.
However, I’m not minded to pick a fight with Gary Neville when there is a much bigger war being waged.

This goes all the way down by the way, and Scottish football should resist hyper-capitalist involvement in our game at all costs, market ourselves as the alternative along with other leagues who will tell these clubs where to **** off to.
Still makes me cringe thinking of Dempster's email a few seasons back that started with the phrase 'how ambitious is your club?'. I don't want the guardians of 'my club' to ever use those sort of vacuous, corporate buzzwords, I just want Hibs to run out in green and white and play at Easter Road against other Scottish teams with varying levels of success each season until I am dead in the mud, simple as that.

But that would make no sense. The only draw for the players in this new set up, as I can see it, is the opportunity to make even more ridiculous amounts of money than they do already.

TV deals with amazon and others in the works
China and America alone, 2 countries who couldn't care less about what this does to domestic football, will provide enough viewing to cover it. Games will be early morning in this country so they can get biggest foreign audience.

European super league
EPL meeting tomorrow with only the 14 clubs left behind. IMO they need to go nuclear on this.
Ceferin has said uefa are going to ban them once they have their legal ducks in a row.

It's just that when he does it from his platform on Sky, which started this whole mess, that it is hard to take him seriously.

There might be two or three clubs fighting it out to win the league. The rest of the games will be ‘glamour’ friendlies where they don’t want to risk injuring players who will be needed in their league games. They will have literally nothing to play for.
Personally I don’t see anything coming from this. The top clubs have completely underestimated the strength of feeling against it.
