The Super League (35 Viewers)

[Badass J Elkann]

I even doubt they would have that. I expect PSG, Bayern, and others to join if it actually happened.

ofc, who the fuck wants to play in a champions league group that'll probably contain the likes of verona, west ham, Villarreal each season, because the TV companies sure as hell won't want to fund all that much into it.

Is there anything to stop a super league happening?

If the top teams all pulled out of their leagues and the existing European competitions what can UEFA do?

Still don't see it happening though.

Strange that Roma didn't make the cut while clubs like Arsenal and Spurs did.

Arsenal got invited out of the pity.

Arsenal are a more popular football club globally than all Italian clubs. And they're more valuable too. Ofcourse they would make the cut.

absolutely nothing, they can threat all they like but TV companies will follow where the marketability is at which is going to be in the super league, with that clubs will follow.

Sometimes been wondering about Arsenals popularity. Guess it comes from the PL and their succes in the 90's and start/mid 00's. Not to forget they had some real icons back in the day.

But them staying irrelevant as of now will surely make their fanbase decrease each year.

Well it isn't actually. Arsenal is valued more than Juve, has a far reaching fan base than Roma. Spurs has also 3 or 4 times the value of Roma, at minimum.

Dint affect Liverpool though. They were in a worse state than Arsenal a decade ago.

PL clubs will remain popular no matter what.

Why would PL clubs accept this ? PL will be like the NBA in a few years.

Strange how you question them but not Spurs

True, but I think Liverpool is a little different somehow.

They had succes in European Cups so they somehow still held on to the train. Arsenal just been totally irrelevant for nearly a decade.

I think the difficult thing is to attract new fans when you're as bad over such a long time like Arsenal been.

Spurs got invited because they're gonna bring Sarriball to the table

Spurs are cute.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

what is the point? revenues will increase, so will expenditures. players, agents and others teams will ask for money.

This competition won't be it without Mourinho. Someone needs to hire

Because Real, Barcelona, Juve, Milan and Inter have more dedicated life-long fans globally, than all of EPL minus MU, Pool, and Arsenal.
