So ESL being financed by JP Morgan. The Glazers have taken out billions in loans from..... JP Morgan

Well if the big 6 are so keen on making changes to the game perhaps they should change their names to reflect their new fan base.

Singapore United

Beijing Chelsea

Bangkok to Manchester City

Abu Dhabi Gunners

Qatari Bin Dippers

and of course the famous

One more point

Yep and don’t forget commercial breaks during the game

The announcement would not have been made if lawyers etc for each club would not have gone over the agreements with the PL etc could not be broken. The money to be made out odf this is enormous with TV rights, Advert breaks, this would have all been taken into account. JP Morgan would not have bankrolled this without a return on there investment ... I also think that the MLS will get involved at some stage and instead of a European Super League it will be renamed something else which means even more money for the owners.
I suspect there will be a lot of court cases and legal arguments before this is a done deal ... and then if it is ... kick them out of there home leagues. Makes it more interesting for everyone else. So greedy.

Record crowd 51,482 - The Whitehorse was rocking - Second Div Champs 1978 - 79 ... 'wot a night !

Football's created its own monster.

This is an extension of what's been building over the years.....in no particular order, the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar, the break away initially by the Premier League from the Football League, the devaluing of the FA Cup through (for example) Man Utd not entering one year because they had to play some made up "Super Cup" abroad, the use of Wembley for semi finals in addition to the Final, the moving of the FA Cup Final time from 3 o'clock on a Saturday to various other times, the number of pointless England "friendlies" that allowed virtually any footballer who was qualified to play for England to get a cap, the replacement of the European Cup by the formation of the "Champions" League to allow the three runners up to take part against other runners up across the Continent, the abolition of the European Cup Winners Cup (winning domestic cups isn't important any more), the total disdain shown to supporters of clubs by the constant rearranging of kick off times to accommodate the TV paymasters and the subsequent disconnect by the players from the fanbase.

The list could probably go on. But a bit like the millions that poured into the streets mourning the death of Princess Diana despite fuelling the media circus that killed her by continually buying the publications that followed her around, people like me are partially to blame too because I still pay my Sky subscription and have a season ticket at Selhurst whilst slavishly getting train and replacement bus journeys at whatever time of the day or night I'm told to in order to watch the sport I love.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

The best players in the world are not going to play for teams which restricts their access to the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, the Champions League or the World Cup. If they want to go we shouldn’t even be standing in their way - merely standing firm and enforcing the bans.

We're the Arthur over ere!
