This is the way I see it. UEFA has been getting away with murder for way too long. They have no business organizing the tournament for the very best teams in Europe, securing broadcast deals and taking half the money for doing nothing. We will now have proper marketing of football. Netflix shows about Juve, Real, Dybala which everyone watches. Deal with Konami for PES rights, no more robbing players of their image rights because no one can say no to FIFA the big bad boy.

Young people around the world can now watch the Super League, French people will still watch the French league as well, Spanish people Spanish one, no need for anyone outside of those countries to watch national competition.

Also, I don't get the rich vs poors argument? Who is the poor? This is entertainment, only thing that propels you forward is your skill in the game, not social class. The best players who deserve it the most will always play in the biggest clubs. I would bet most players in Barcelona have grown up in worse circumstances than most players in Leicester, who now claim to be for the people against the big bad Barcelona, but best players than leave for bigger clubs anyway.

I have a lot more to say as well, this is just the first things that come to mind.

Rummenigge throwing more shade on Agnelli today saying he wasn't picking his calls

He's really going to take the bullet isnt he?
To me it does, notice how woodward has been quiet despite being a vice chairman, he is going along with them for now. Perez and Agnelli pulling the shots. Real can always pull a new presidential vote and get away with it, us losing Agnelli would be a bigger blow for us.

Woodward is quite because he's scared of the backlash. None from the PL has spoken out and the condemnation on SL in the PL fraternity has been unanimous. Looks like they're being pushed to a corner.
Let's see if anyone from these SL contingent will come out with anything concrete.

What begging. There are insults.
I dont think so and they are not half as bad as what Agnelli got for lieing, but then you wouldnt blame him :D

These were his words.

"Gentlemen, you made a huge mistake. Some will say it is greed, others disdain, arrogance or complete ignorance of England's football culture, but actually it doesn't matter.

What matters is that there is still time to change your mind, everyone makes mistakes.."


His already giving them a get-out-of-jail card, they own up they were misinformed, coerced or whatever and in a way pin in on Agnelli. Also apologise and pledge £50m to grass root football.

Complete ignorance of England's football culture? England literally started this shit when they did exactly the same thing with Big 5 clubs breaking away and creating Premier League with Sky Sports and their juicy broadcast deal.

Getting a bad feeling nothing comes out of it. Without English clubs, it would be pointless. Either way will be interesting to follow who will chicken out.

I don't think that AA or the other clubs did not make a binding agreement before coming forward.
Like if club x leaves he has to pay the other x amount of money. That would be stupid.

Oil clubs would be among the first ones.

Interesting to see if Americans representing United, Pool and Arsenal listen to the fans and backout or go balls deep into this.

Not really. Huge conflict of interest that he was working on this while he held positions in UEFA/ECA. Theyre going to go after him guns blazing.

i think he’ll get fines at the most but he’s way too influential to go to jail for this. I don’t even think that is a jailable offense
