Mourinho is an f'ing genius. Spurs have been shit for months and he was almost guaranteed to be sacked anyways, but he's now capitalized on the recent events and has managed to go out as a martyr for football. 
Mourinho is a genuine man, so I'm sure principle is involved in this as well. But if what I'm saying has any truth to it then Mou has yet again proved that he is a brilliant tactician when it comes to the football pitch and the media room.

This is the best news of all. Winners should be rewarded much more than others.
Arsenal get 13m less than 1st place for finishing 4th. What is their incentive to spend 500m on new players to win the league when the reward for that is only 13m? Take money away from bottom half of table teams and give the champion 200m more than second placed team. Then you'll see clubs fighting to spend and win.

We should give a fuck because we should have more integrity and responsibility as a club. Without serie a we’d be nothing - the Italian league has a beautiful history. Let’s fix it rather than turn our back on it. We are also a large part of the reason it didn’t capitalise on its world leading position in the 90s with our own lack of investment in infrastructure and bureaucracy - look at how the premier league took that mantle.
I don’t want to watch the Juventus Globe Trotters turn European and world football into a money making spectacle. You think this is going to improve serie a? It’s going to make the domestic leagues a sham - we will be earning 10-15x as much money as the other clubs who will have very little source of income. It will create such a vast chasm between us and the Milan clubs and the rest of the league.
The only people who win here are the club owners who will succeed in their aim of turning sport into a business. Look at who has formed this league, Abramovic, sheikh mansoor, the glazers, Fenway sports, suning group, Elliot capital, Stan kronke etc. - these aren’t football people these are business people. 80% of them likely don’t even know the rules of the game.

Who is the media partner though? My guess is Amazon.
Makes sense.
Local fans will mostly be against the idea of a Superleague.
International fans, having less ties, will mostly be in favour of it.
I don't think it will happen just yet. But if & when it does, I'm out. Not that that matters one bit, obviously

If this goes through I'm done with Juve. My only hope is that the national leagues show us and the other teams the door when it does go through.
