re: Super League may NOT actually be happening!

I may have been misinterpreting the Super League...I was envisioning the teams pulling out of their home country leagues altogether.

This basically sounds like a new Champions League that cuts out UEFA and is a smaller group of teams. Why is this as bad?

Liverpool supposed to be a club of the people

Now fricking over its people

This basically goes against everything that community stands for

Ahh yes, because Liverpool are expected to refrain from joining a mega league that every other big six club is joining and neuter themselves financially when they’re already at a financial disadvantage to city, Chelsea, and United.

All of the elite talent is already monopolized. When players enter their prime they are going to one of the 12 clubs that are joining this league. Don’t act like this changes anything in that regard. A “small” club hasn’t won the champions league since 2003-2004 when Porto won it. European football has had the parity of college football for quite some time now. State funded oil clubs are okay to compete against Sheffield and Brighton, but by god it’s a travesty if the biggest clubs in the world want to play in their own league.

This faux outrage is ridiculous. The playing field hasn’t been level as it is for a long time. These are teams/owners capitalizing on their clubs value. If/when this goes through, Bayern, PSG, Dortmund, Marseille, Lyon, Roma, etc will join within the next 5 years. Money makes the world go round, and these clubs aren’t going to miss out on a mountain of it out of principle. Like it or not, this is happening and it will grow before it shrinks.
