Atletico's in particular. "We joined under circumstances that no longer exist." Basically they only pulled out because the English clubs went first and it was clearly dead.

its the old 'your not sorry for what you did, your sorry you got caught'. or in this case sorry that everyone turned against them as one, rather then a bunch angry voices they could simply ignore.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

From the tone of the statements it looks like the reaction genuinely terrified the English clubs, but the others don't seem that bothered and see it as more of a temporary setback.

If Brexit never happened the UK government couldn't have grab them by the balls. EU law protects the other European clubs.

Edit: the entire political spectrum of the country, with full public support for populist legislative carpet bombing of the English clubs... I would be terrified too in their position

I don't think it's dead. In its current shape and form, yes. But the wish to play for more money against bigger clubs will remain. Leaving the national leagues at this moment is too big a step. The 12 clubs also didn't expect that amount of backlash.

Louis van Gaal called the CL a 'commercial monstrosity' when it took its current shape in 1992. Now the monster is full grown and starts to spawn children. I don't think the Super League will be its last.

The drama is dead. The idea behind it will live. It will go to sleep again to roar some time later.

I really hope that we as football fans can tell UEFA to drop their changes. Even if Arsenal were to be guaranteed a spot in CL by one of those VIP spots, I would still hate it. We and every other team have to earn a spot.

Even if our play in PL is awful this season, if we do manage to win EL, I'll consider that an earned CL spot and be happy. If we somehow get it handed to us, I almost certainly won't watch.

in Germany Schalke (one of the oldest and biggest clubs in the Bundesliga) was relegated yesterday
Hamburg SV (HSV), an even older club had it happen to them several years ago

And thats fair because they just did not perform and havent fixed their problems. With the US systems both of them would still play bundesliga in 2021/2022

I'd love to believe that our statement was genuine, but I don't. It's just PR spin from our greedy board and Kroenke

Glazer apologized to the Man U fans and I'm glad all the fans of theirs I see are recognizing his empty words and telling him to fuck off and sell the club to someone who cares

Agreed. Getting to the CL via a "legacy spot" is such an abomination. I really am displeased with the fact that the Super League drama covered the CL announcement and shielded them from worse public reactioon.

Also the Glazer statement (and every other one on the super league topic, too) read a lot more honest when you replace the word 'sustainable' with 'profitable'.

I find the wording around "sustainable" funny anyway...
Those are the richest clubs in the world and also the ones spending the most. Obviously, if they have to look so hard to "save football" and "make it sustainable" their current doing isn't sustainable, which their horrendous amounts of debt also confirm...
But well.... it was them, who escalated the wage and transfer fee spiral that much... If it isn't sustainable, then... SIMPLY STOP DOING IT!
No, it isn't the doing of the Brightons, Nürnbergs, Fiorentina or Getafes, who forced you into those excesses. It was only yourself. You are the driving force causing this!
And if you feel your current spending isn't sustainable, then the times scheming this breakaway league would have been better spent on looking for ways to cut your spending together with the other big ones, who seem to have the same issue as you...
And somehow, from experience, I'm nearly completely sure, that even if those clubs somehow had thrice the money.... they would still manage to overspend yet again because they would try to poach the Messis and Neymars from each other...

the only way to cut spending at this point is to have a salary cap or a transfer cap to save the clubs from themselves. the FPP really isnt doing enough

Salary caps have the stinky aspect of hugely benefiting for-profit owners at the expense of players. I don't think a salary cap is a good idea unless there's a general 50+1 ownership rule across Europe to get rid of billionaire club owners, or require clubs to be non-profit, whichever works.

closed competition with 15 founding members is never a good thing. If this Super League happened 10 years ago, then ManC, PSG and Dortmund wouldn't be (or invited to be) founding members.
