Lol, a statement from Chelsea on the proposed “super league”

Club statement

I expect one of these form letters from the rest of the teams involved. They’re using the “pandemic” as an some sort of economic rationale, but 2/3 of the teams involved are teetering on the brink of financial ruin (here’s looking at the Spanish & Italian clubs). You’ll notice that Ligue 1 (shit league but whatevs) and Bundesliga both said “no thanks” to to being involved. Relatively speaking the French and German clubs aren’t in the dire financial straits that the biggest Spanish & Italian clubs are.

I think it’s dumb. Legitimate competitions shouldn’t have “founding members” who get preferential treatment regardless of performance. FIFA/UEFA are going to go iron fist on this. If nothing else the whole charade should be entertaining.

ETA looks like all the clubs involved are getting lit the fuck up on social media

Fuck Joel Glazer.

They’ve sucked so much revenue out of MU, and keep pissing about in the transfer market. Fuck that cunt and his whole parasite family.

Top teams are already playing 50-60 matches. What gets sacrificed mid week?

Well, if they decide to go forward with it, it sounds like their schedules will be a lot less cluttered, what with being banned from essentially all other competitions. The whole thing is stupid. And Arsenal and Barca have released the same copy/paste statement that Chelsea did. I’ve not seen one comment on the teams’ social media in favor of this proposal so hopefully the idea gets scrapped soon.

This is going to be the interesting part, seeing what the players and managers do. If they're not on board, are the clubs going to start sacking managers and selling off players that don't want to participate? Who knows, but this clusterfuck is just getting started.

Everything I’ve read says that French and German clubs aren’t interested in it. With all of the backlash, I’m surprised they haven’t already come out and said “our bad, terrible idea, mea culpa”.

It’ll get real interesting if the PL or FA decide to start docking points or otherwise punish the Big 6. Then we’ll see who’s serious about what.

SAF slammed it as well
Though he probably stands to profit from it

If this thing goes through I wonder how the transfer market is affected

15 teams with mucho geld

A quality player goes on the market, Varane let’s say

Does he command crazy numbers? His agent will be drooling

Because of the way German clubs are owned and governed, I was pretty sure this would be the case but had missed KHR definitively stating that. Makes my Klopp scenario that much more conceivable.

If there were fans in the stadium he would have gotten the axe months ago.  I wonder if his contract had some bonus for winning a trophy.  It will be interesting to see who replaces him.  Levy is a twat so I csnt see why any top manager would go there.  They were absolute idiots to sack poch.

It was good and dandy when you guys sold your whole leages to oligarchs, chinese tycoons, and middle east terrorist money laundry schemes... Now they are hungry after a pandemic and want to guarantee and control their own interests without trying to rely on old establishments of european aristocrats. And Gary Neville here with crocodile tears... fu*king Gary. How many brits in starting eleven of Utd?

I say let it burn down.... I hope they all bankrupt. They fu*ked all small teams to oblivion for almost 2 decades, i have 0 respect for elite european football anymore.

But the ESL has also confirmed that there was a carve-out for Barca’s “commitment” because Joan Laporta insisted on submitting the proposal to the club’s members assembly for approval.

I got happy when I heard this.  Then I got sad because you know it's not going to be someone with football experience that replaces him.  I'll predict right now they hire another investment banker from jp Morgan chase.  

The glazers have to be the worse owners in football.  They havent been to the stadium in what 2 or 3 years.  They havent put a penny into the stadium.  The roof leaks like a sieve but they keep taking those dividends out.  They couldn't possible care any less for the club or the fans.
