Title: Super League here we go again Post by: TightEnd on November 04, 2018, 11:05:58 AM A term sheet from a meeting in Madrid has been released via Football Leaks.
The 16 founding members of the new 2021 European Super League will be: Real Madrid Barcelona Man Utd Bayern Juve Chelsea Arsenal PSG Man City LFC Milan Atlético Madrid Dortmund Marseille Roma http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/football-documents-show-secret-plans-for-elite-league-of-top-clubs-a-1236447.html Title: Re: Super League here we go again Post by: Archer on November 04, 2018, 12:40:14 PM The bottom 5 on that list are invites only. Der Spiegel claims Real Madrid has joined forces with AC Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Manchester United to form a group of seven sides who went behind the back of Uefa, European football's governing body, to discuss forming a European Super League. Then City, Liverpool, Chelsea and PSG joined them for a total of 11 founder members.
The 11 founding members would not be at risk of relegation and would be guaranteed membership for 20 years, thus protecting the financial interests and status of the core group. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46078651 Title: Re: Super League here we go again Post by: TightEnd on November 04, 2018, 12:45:58 PM "would not be at risk of relegation and would be guaranteed membership for 20 years"
is deeply unappealing? even to fans of those sides?

Agreed, but then I feel pretty reactionary to most change to the structure of football. I'd be pretty much against any kind of European league even if it involved relegation/promotion. I won't watch a minute of these games if it goes ahead. Arsenal not qualifying for the Champs league has felt like a bonus the last 2 years as I really only care about the domestic trophies. Whatever I have enjoyed about being 'in Europe' is only related to watching the games in the knockout stages - it all feels like panto to me during the group stages and I prefer theatre. Just read a bit more and if any European league involved leaving the domestic league then I could guarantee I wouldn't watch a second and would have to retire myself as an Arsenal fan and pick another club, Swindon or Watford current favourites for my future support but I can be persuaded to others. Title: Re: Super League here we go again Post by: TheDazzler on November 04, 2018, 01:37:34 PM I reckon it's definitely going to happen eventually and ultimately there will be a World League.
Money talks and it's all just a matter of when. Title: Re: Super League here we go again Post by: DungBeetle on November 05, 2018, 06:29:20 AM The bottom 5 on that list are invites only.

What a shame the likes of AC Milan can’t deal with their own incompetence by actually having a go at being competitive domestically rather than just making themselves a new competition.

Totally and completely unappealing. Title: Re: Super League here we go again Post by: booder on November 07, 2018, 09:28:56 AM |
