- - 12 top teams to announce they are forming a European Super League (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=374993)

Manchester City have just released the following club statement:

Manchester City Football Club can confirm that it has formally enacted the procedures to withdraw from the group developing plans for a European Super League.

Rumours that FSG are looking to sell Liverpool if the league doenst go ahead, please lord lets hope it be true

The remaining four English teams have decided to pull out of the Super League.

BBC Sport understands a formal announcement will be made this evening.

The moves comes at the end of a seismic day, which had already seen Manchester City pull out, with Chelsea due to follow suit.

Weird how this vid came out today.

Thanks, very informative.

I've been slightly sceptical of (properl) fan-ownership in the past because I think their might be pressure to over-spend.

Apparently all six teams have now pulled out.

Ban all six teams from representing our country on the European stage for 5 years, and also a points deduction for all six, minimum 20pts.

All six English teams pull out of European Super League

No Ban's Alf

Nothing has Changed

We are Still stuck with Massive
£7 Billion Debts of these 6 Clubs

There will be widespread repercussions. The days of pandering to rich owners is officially over. I can see legislation being brought in so that it cant be attempted again in the future

Inter Milan pulling out now

I actually found it funny how quickly this all folded. So much trust has been lost in the big6

also this is very rude and condescending towards the smaller teams :idc:

and i'd say fitting punishment would be to exclude these far too elitist teams from CL or EL for the next 2 years at least

i for one love rooting for smaller (budget) teams way more

also this isn't to be compared to america's MLS league either since MLS is a domestic league of theirs (just that america is huge they can expand like that to more teams in the competition)

i have and still am following MLS for quite a long while now, loving almost each state is represented now there

and players wise yes they can attract bigger name foreign stars (what they have done with a David Beckham, David Villa, Xavi, Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney) but most must be homebound players, also a way to give the US national team a boost upwards

this european super league is just bunch of elitist rubbish, very unnecessary

hilarious how they are crying until it gets embarrassing, stop crying and seek new owners, new investors if you want to be part of elite too

To Be Fair
it never got started
it was only an idea.

"Despite the announced departure of the English clubs, forced to take such decisions due to the pressure put on them, we are convinced our proposal is fully aligned with European law and regulations," the ESL said on Wednesday, adding it was "convinced that the current status quo of European football needs to change".

In an interview with Italian newspaper la Repubblica, Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli said the remaining clubs will "press ahead" and the project still had "a 100% chance of being a success".

:laugh:

Nicky, you are just being a troll

It was more than an idea Arista, if it were an 'idea' it would have been floated past managers, players, fans before being announced

What I find most sad about this is that the claim is that the younger audience are not engaged by football and that 90 minutes is too long

is this true?

having endured an endless baseball game in Boston, I can't imagine why anyone would think 90 minutes with a break in between is too long :suspect:
