The Super League (26 Viewers)

Its a combination of both, but HEAVILY leaning on the greed department IMO. They been surviving for 100 years as sport clubs, to think this is solely survival is a bit disingenous iMO.

It's about squeezing what ever is left in the game before we all turn to esports.

And you think up to this point man u catered to those fans? You think they became a mutli billion dollar company thanks to them? What "triggers" a reaction is that marcus rashford is a poser, he's a mini kaepernick wannabe, he will talk the talk but won't actually make any real sacrifice to walk the walk. Let him donate all his 'dirty' money and go play for millwall, otherwise it's just posing and he deserves all the flak that gets him.

Yuppers!

It may come as a shock to you, but European football fans dont want to copy american sports...

Europeans don't know what's best for themselves. I trust the Americans to come and fix it all up like in WW2.

ok Uefa

If you are an investor, do you give money to accomplished entrepreneurs or 0 experience pencil pushers?

But they all dream of a rich billionaire to bankroll their football club. I remember how some Newcastle fans were disappointed when the Saudi's backed out. No one here is taking a moral or ethical stand. There is hypocrisy everywhere.

Actually I read on the Man Utd forum that the big six vetoed the takeover, because of their interests.

lol
ironic as the word "soccer" was invented in England but americans hate that word over there.

What I’ve been seeing from the last 100 pages is basically this; “things are bad for the smaller clubs as it stands so why not go ahead and make things worse for them”. I mean fucking Perez using covid as an excuse to do this as if it hasn’t affected the smaller guys twice as hard.

How much money has Crotone gotten from Uefa in last 20 years. (Nothing). What esl doing is getting rid of uefa. Nothing to do with small teams.

Duh, no one said its about fairness, they just dont want an alien and weird system thats only unique and acceptable in american sports. They just want the best for their teams, leagues and nations. Nothing else.

It's the TV revenue that will hurt, but your point stands.

The real reason they backed out was over for some broadcasting deal fiasco

I would like to see who kneels the longest and then I'll make my decision.

Definitely no.

small teams would be happy because it means they would be title contenders

The Qatari who run the broadcasting rights for alot of gobal football sports, did not like a Saudi state conglomerate being legimitized by owning an EPL club, when the same Saudis are undermining Qataris tv sports rights, by directly using and promoting pirate tv in Saudi arabia (and close by ally nations), directly to hurt the bottom line of the Qatar tv broadcasts. It was basically a regional power play, and Qatar won out in pressurring the right points to stop it, because they are sponsoring and enriching the right hands.


Juventus was actually directly effected by this too, remember when we played in Saudi Arabia for super cup? They threatened Serie A/FIGC and us with less money&revoking sponsors, for going to Saudi arabia for the game, when they in outright conflict about the tv rights they own etc.

Is ESL getting cheerleaders? I can almost SMELL the success

the only point he has is this: "If these clubs are full of debts, they should ask themselves some questions on how they’ve been managing their business."

but if most of these clubs have huge debts, does it mean there's a systematic issue, or all of these clubs are managed poorly?
