Just wait to see what the clubs are doing first, don't be so quick to throw them under the bus, i think rightfully so with the facts we have right now...but there is a reason all this news breaks 24 hours before UEFA were going to announce the mass changes ot the champions league i feel.....maybe a super flex move from English teams maybe not sure.

There has got to be a stream of the announcement that is said to be happening in less than 20 minutes from now...

This is quite some backlash.
What will players do? I hope plenty of players would be put off by the FIFA + UEFA bans and they would just go back to their domestic leagues. I know money is the main thing but there's gotta be a good amount who value playing for their national team and playing in competitions like the FA cup.
Guys like Mason Mount, in fact all the young England players who are building a reputation for themselves, they surely won't want to be locked out of that.

Ok so the best sports journalists just said;

[Alex Kay-Jelski, the Athletic editor-in-chief] - Put out a story to put pressure on UEFA - Get everyone in a massive, angry flap - Take the insults because there’s huge money at stake - Come to a new CL agreement and put the super league back in the cupboard again till leverage is needed


Which seems the whole move is a leverage thing?

Greedy pigs, they should all go to the guillotine.

Also, I wonder if they had anticipated such a strong, quick, and uniformly negative response to the announcement -- from fans, associations, pundits, even politicians. Could this mean that they could still back off?

You're probably right. Hopefully The timing suggests it tbh.

UEFA is apparently planning to sue the ESL for $60 billion Euros... only problem there is no case in terms of the EU competition laws.

I don't know how they couldn't anticipate it, this exact thing happened before recently.

Klose is going to leave Bayern's coaching staff aswell, citing he needs change or something. Seems Flick is taking him with him to German national team.

Ah, thanks. Thought it was related to the super league announcement.

Why aren't Forest involved in this?
We won the European Cup twice in a row. We've more right to be there than Spurs or Arsenal lol.

The first thing the EPL should do is a massive fine and deduct 100 points from any team involved for the next 2 seasons they spend in the Premier League. The EFL should refuse to have them too so they have to go to the Conference. Stop their players playing in international competitions.
Just go straight for the harshest possible measures. Tempt their players away. Give them a choice to void their contracts and leave immediately.

Also, praise Leicester and West Ham, our new overlords.

The biggest world wide fanbases are for Barca, Real, United, Juve, Chelsea, Live, PSG, Bayern, City and Arsenal. I'm schocked that these teams were invited instead of others with better results... when it's all about money... I wonder why
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.
