I don't get why everyone is going crazy over a super league?

The fanbase of the club I support is going mad and angry as heck. I don't get it and I'm actually happy and excited over the super league. We will be apart of the biggest league in the world with the best clubs. The top of football so who cares if we exit UEFA European competitions?

  • Because people think the game started in the 2000's and can't understand the following:

    1) The Premier League exists because 5 clubs (LIV, EVE, MNU, ARS, TOT) wanted to breakaway from the EFL and did so forming their own league so they could get more TV revenue from this fledging group called Sky.

    2) The Champions League has only existed since the late 1990's, because UEFA wanted to fend off competing entities AND wanted more money in TV rights as pay TV was becoming more common.

    Reminder for everyone that history repeats itself.  So in another 20-25 years you'll have some other group trying something similar.

    This nonsensical dirge about "the people's game" is pure crap.  It never was and never will be.  Chairmen in ENG/ITA/ESP don't want the German model, so they have what they have.  From a legal perspective, who's going to buy out FSG, The Glazers, Kroenke, and Bonesaw Petrostate FC (Man City)?  Do Supporters groups really have that amount of money and do they have legal standing to force a sale?  Hint- this gets decided in court.

    All of the talking heads on Sky are upset because if this Super League comes to pass, it devalues their Premier League rights because they're losing the six biggest clubs (they don't have rights to Champions League games; that's through BT Sport) and likely impacts domestic cups as well.  These former players welcomed Sky's money and did very well.  They liked Sky being a disruptor.  But now, they don't want to be disrupted.

    Prediction: similar to what happened in Australia during their Super League "war" in the 1990's.  1-2 years of two different competitions and more lawsuits than I can count, followed by a settlement, likely some joint venture clubs (where two clubs become one), and a slightly smaller Premier League.  Guessing that the players will sue UEFA on restraint of trade over being banned from international football and they certainly have a case.

    Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 kills nanoworms inside face masks. The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and SeraphimofSarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    Source(s): Pray the Jesus prayer just like priest ElpidiosVagianakis asked you to do: 33 times (symbolizing 33 years of Christ) at 6am, then at 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, 12pm, 3am. If you remember, awake, etc., pray it. Later you will pray it in your sleep. Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

    Will be fascinating to see if they are truly able to ban super league players from World Cup teams.

    You are not a true football fan if you are excited over the fake European Super League. The reason why the big 6 of the PL and the biggest clubs from Italy and Spain want it to go ahead is so the greedy owners of each club get their money. You are supporting greed if you are excited about the fake European Super League. The true European competition is the Champions League. I've slagged the Europa League off a lot on here but I even consider that to be a proper European competition unlike the fake European Super League.

    They have some neck calling it a "super league" when teams like spurs are in it

    It kills competition. One thing football and rugby to an extent has always had over the American sports and even sports like cricket and basketball is that you could theoretically create a team with your mates and on sporting merit alone, get to the elite level. Yes youd need to fulfill stadium criteria etc but the league's are open and with various promotions etc, you can make the top.

    This kills that, it takes away the sporting merit from the game and makes it more like the American sports with closed off competition only open to the rich that can afford it. While it is inevitable that the biggest clubs will want more cash, it's a negotiation tool at the moment. 

    Uefa and FIFA know without the top clubs or players, their competitions are worthless and at the moment the big clubs have all the cards.

    If they are kicked out of the league's, whoop de Doo, the super League becomes a Saturday and Wednesday league with a few more teams

    Uefa and FIFA will be dragged back to the negotiation table and a compromise will be reached.

    Also for those saying this is new, it's not. The original idea behind the premier League was the top 6 go alone with no relegation, the football league caved and you got what you have now.

    The biggest thing from this for me is it shows that the people running the game are not fit to run it. They lack the long term ability to control the game. I hope to god the big clubs use this as a way to get a major overhaul of FIFa and Uefa and actually get people who know the game running it

    It's against the spirit of competition that underlines football, it's anti-competitive, they're turning the game into a TV show where the most popular character always has to come back and be involved. They're turning it from a fair sport into an entertainment medium where you follow a franchise.

    You don't say who you support, but a super league doesn't interest me one bit. I'm wondering what the reaction of players will be when FIFA ban them from playing for their country and the FA ban clubs from playing in domestic tournaments like the FA cup. Because that's what they are talking about doing.
