European Super League

[Maroon Manc]

There is certainly no premier league club who'd have turned down the opportunity to join a super league especially Leeds United so their antics last night were comical.

As for PSG the super league doesn't need them but PSG definitely needs the super league. Once the world cup is out of the way they'd be all over it. Bayern are the one super power who don't need it, biggest club in their league by a mile.

Fair play to Pep Guardiola but I doubt his greedy owners will pay any attention.

"I'm uncomfortable" talking about this competition, which I only found out about on Sunday

"It is not a sport if success is guaranteed or if it doesn't matter when you lose," he told a news conference.

"I have said many times I want a successful Premier League, not just one team at the top.

"Sport is not sport when the relationship between effort and reward does not exist."

Every bit of creditable information suggests Man City and Chelsea only have joined for fear of being left behind. They will be the two clubs to break it up.

It's the American owners pushing this.

No doubt they are with the long term objective to make theses clubs like the American sport franchises. City with their wealth didn't need to sign up to this pure greed that they did.

Boris Johnson is understood to have told the football authorities in the meeting that the Government should "drop a legislative bomb... now" to prevent the breakaway European Super League, according to multiple reports.

The Prime Minister told them "the Government will not stand by while a small handful of owners create a closed shop", a spokesman said following the meeting.  "He was clear that no action is off the table and the Government is exploring every possibility, including legislative options, to ensure these proposals are stopped."

Measures under consideration include preventing players of the clubs involved getting work visas and the withdrawal of police funding for match days.

The greedy six missed a trick by not making a donation to the Tory party.

The Tories are afraid of working class voters. Boris Johnson wouldn't dare side with the ESL.

Boris and his mates will side with whoever offers them the most money.

Is that all that matters , have we learned nothing through this pandemic time . It's a tragedy this , American manure , they really are a soulless people.

To money men, yes. That's all that matters.
