It’s epic, is what it is. We been transported into teen drama series.

[Sky Sports]: A board member at one of the six Premier League clubs who are breaking away has told Sky Sports News that the owners were fully expecting a backlash – “to be honest, they are not that worried about PR” and “the wider good of the game is a secondary concern”.

Great competition.

What is left for the even better Europa League?

[DanielSz]

right, but it’s still a buy out. My point is that you can terminate a contract early, you just have to pay a big portion of that contract and usually the player makes it up by signing for another team

Yeah but contracts are guaranteed, so in those situations it’s the player that’s giving up money, not the team.

Meeting ongoing between Serie A clubs to discuss about SuperLeague. But... now also Juventus, AC Milan and Inter have joined the other 17 clubs. They were expected to be ‘out’ from the clubs conversation today.

So they just walked in uninvited? Interupted the secret meeting other clubs held about excommunicating the big3?

I saw that. Also the owners would be glad if their players are banned from International competitions. As someone pointed out, this sounds cartoonishly evil

In there threatening the provincial minnows that the well gonna run dry if they try to excommunicate them, warning of the bleak future ahead without the big boys.

I agree with KHR

 

[Dostoevsky]

I still don't get the idea of having closed competition for chosen clubs (not even champions within the league). It's just such a stupid idea it's incredible.

The only good argument against this is I've heard is that smaller teams will suffer for it, which is a fair point

 

[Bjerknes]

I don't know if this is good for the game or not. Maybe it will be, maybe it won't. I'll miss the mystique of having the top clubs in each league, but that probably won't be feasible considering the rhetoric from UEFA. Actually, the Super League probably won't destroy football, but UEFA and perhaps even FIFA could certainly destroy it if they refuse to work towards a compromise. Sort of like the suicide bombers on the airliner when the general didn't get his way in the film Executive Decision.

smaller teams, lower divisions, could effect national team development and make football less competitive but more lucrative at the top level

other than that it’s a pretty positive situation for the clubs involved
