It happen?

I'm glad to see NUFC opposed it. I honetly thought someone might try to buy mike off before he packs his bags.

Stronger in his stance than Klopp. Hopefully, Man city pull out.

No. They’re billionaires pouring money into their investments. It’s business. When it comes to the crunch they couldn’t give a shit about Manchester or its people.

Out of all the clubs’ representatives in the meeting today, we are the ones I worry about. Mike is by far the most easily corruptible. He wants out and couldn’t give a shit what football looks like after he’s left. If the greedy 6 want to bribe one of the little 14 to leverage things behind enemy lines, Mike’s their man.

And when they were only halfway in they were neither in nor out

I thought they didn’t have any legal right to ban them from the league??

Fuck them. They’ve been as quiet as mice since the news broke.

Any player or manager from the big 6 who doesn’t speak out is a coward and a cnut. It’s as simple as that for me.

Players and managers only care about money. Klopp personified that tonight. Coward.

Spend more? They won’t need to. They can finish bottom and pick up their share of the 4 billion every year.

Will they walk the walk though? I’ll respect them when they are handing transfer requests and generally make themselves a nuisance for their clubs

Seoul is full of massive lads fans. Do you not read RTG?

The FA could just make sure that the England manager never picks ESL players. They'd have the full support of the country.

Which other teams do you like and think are worth following if English football gans to shit? The Bundesliga sounds appealing. I quite Leipzig. Good football, outsiders, former DDR. Owned by Red Bull though. That's offputting. I used to watch South Shields years ago, before the takeover. It's full of mackems now though. And it's overpriced. Perhaps I'll just go completely left field and start supporting a Swedish team.

It would absolutely feel artificial. The intensity wouldn’t be there. But will the kids in China and India mind?

True, but they do still like their world cups. I couldn't see someone with Ronaldo or Haaland's drive sacking off their country. You'd have to think the likes of Bayern, Dortmund, PSG (for now), oil-rich Newcastle and a few other good sides would become pretty attractive places to play. The super league wouldn't have it all their way, I don't think.

Players do like playing for their countries though. It would make them think twice about who to sign for and could go a long way in undermining the ESL.

Imagine a PL in which the greedy 6 have left and we're bankrolled into becoming as strong as the teams in the mega league. We'd walk it every year and it would fucking stink.

If UEFA or the FA can prevent ESL players from representing their countries, that would be a massive pain in the arse for the money league.

It'd be nice if they could get a couple of commentators in to shit on every game. A bit like Jim Ross when he's doing AEW.

I don’t think anything will happen on the pitch. It would magnificent if the players take a stand though. I’d quite like to see the fans lob some turds in from outside too.

Depends how bright the lights are

Any chance this is just to gain leverage of the PL just as they're about to pass our takeover through? "Allow the takeover and we're leaving."
