I agree with Steve Parish, these are truly strange times.

Or the PL will back down and they will get what they want.

Of course, there’s probably about 20 people involved in total.

I kept saying through all the ownership dramas that everyone has had. No Newcastle fans should get satisfaction out of Sunderland’s farcical owners. No fan of any other club should laugh at Mike Ashley stealing Newcastle United. The whole point is, it could easily be your club next... every fan is now vulnerable to and dependent on the whims of a tiny handful of rich people for the enjoyment of their cultural pastime. The thing itself is criminal, every fan should have been together against it for years.

It’s not like the Liverpool on the pitch tonight are anything to do with the super league idea.

It’s really sad seeing those fans - just cannon fodder and ordinary people that mean absolutely nothing to the men making the decisions.

You can’t really expect players not to play in it. Harry Kane isn’t going to do his job for half the salary just so he can play for England. Maybe the odd one, but I can’t see it happening a lot.

Yeah, but only because the broken structure of football means it’s the only way to compete.

Didn't all parties promise a fan-lead review already?

When I've watched Barca and Madrid etc, it's mainly been in their own league.

Actually quite nice to look at the league without those clubs. Lots of good clubs there.

I dunno, suppose I'm just into the routine of the Premier League and following it closely. Then when it's not on, I don't always bother with anything else. I'm really only watching the PL regularly because of lockdown and access to other people's online subscriptions.

I use Champions League weeks to take time off from watching football.

I don't think they care about sport at all TBH. It's a very distant second to business.

I want the leagues to expel the teams, but they'd be murdering their own product at the same time. Can't see it. The extra money from the super league would give the 6 teams a massive advantage at home as well. Especially since they're in it permanently.

They don't want to break away though, they want both.

I was considering being a Bundesliga fan anyway TBH, just seems all round better for fans. And lots of cities I need to visit over there.

They probably do plenty of good stuff though the normal functioning of their various departments and foundations etc... doesn't mean the owners themselves actually care/know much about it.

They form a new league and won't participate in the CL. What happens to the CL, nobody knows. They want to stay in their domestic leagues, but the governing bodies have threatened they might be excluded.

Same with the Premier League.

Same, just going to stop watching. I was on the way out anyway TBH, I like the sport on the field but everything else is terrible.

That's what I was saying yesterday. One fundamental problem is that it's not very good.

Yeah, I was answering that this alone wouldn't allow us to prevent something like super league membership happening.

Guess they're frantically trying to decide what it means for them, and what to do. I wouldn't expect too many players to speak out TBH, although they might be pressed on it in interviews.

Think I'll just watch the interviews and not the game
