Sometimes wish the European Super League idea would take off.

 

They should just get it over and done with, it's been on the cards long enough.

for clubs like liverpool and us it'll be good...for man utd it'll be fantastic...for the others it'llbe terrible, for football it'll cement the idea that we dont want competition and really want the stsus quo to carry on if not increase their strength and power.

 

it would be fantastic for liverpool.

 

they're the one team in the country who it would disproportionately (and perhaps unfairly) benefit more than anyone else as their cachet far outweights their actual competitive ability as a club. chelsea are the other way around in that as a team they're more competitive than their cachet would suggest, even if their draw has increased ten fold in recent years. same applies for man city. it wouldn't really matter of them anyway, they've got money from other sources and after a few years of being up there they'd start to pull in comparable tv revenue. goes without saying that man utd would get shit tonnes of dosh.

 

would benefit us slightly as we're a bigger draw than our recent poor history suggests, though looking at it in relation to the even bigger clubs, we'd be fucked.

 

Nail on head.

The arrogance of the 'top' clubs just takes the p*ss now, getting very fed up with it.

This has been coming for a long time and nobody should be surprised at this. Within 5 year every PL club will have their own TV station showing every game home and away and this is just another reason why your average Joe in the street is getting p***** off with football and why bar the top 4/5 clubs attendances are down everywhere.

 

Liverpool are one of the biggest supported clubs in the world and will make far more money off their own deal than they currently make off SKY. Only Man Utd, Liverpool, and now possibly Man City will benefit from this sort of deal. Football as we know it, is about to end for your average Joe Bloggs.

 

RIP football.

No surprise that it's these c***s suggesting it, f***ing selfish wall-pushing arseholes.

maybe too old for today but it's a good tune "horrid selfish whining twats, wall pushers, ha-cha cha cha" to kid creoles 'stool pigeon'.

Bit overly dramatic, but agree with the general theme here. It's hard not to feel that football as most people know and love it is going up the shitter.

 

Edit: actually, might not be that overly dramatic. You have to despair when wankers like this suggest staggeringly awful ideas like this and the 39th game.

Not the first genius idea that wanker Ayre has been behind aswell.

 

Liverpool director Ian Ayre open to '39th game'

 

Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre believes the prospect of playing competitive Barclays Premier League matches overseas cannot be ruled out in the future.

 

Proposals for a so-called 39th game of the season were met with major opposition when they were first raised a couple of years ago.

 

But Ayre, recently promoted from his role as commercial director at Anfield, said it was an issue which was likely to crop up again in the future.

 

"It's fraught with lots of issues but somehow we have a duty to fans around the world to give them access to the product," he told Management Today magazine.

 

"So never say never. What was unfortunate about last time was that the idea was created as some kind of reality before it had been thought through.

 

"Whatever's going to happen in football, it needs to have been absolutely thought through and every element considered - what's right and proper for the fans, the club, the league, the confederation, the local markets where you'd play.

 

"It all needs to be properly considered and I don't think last time that was the case."

 

What an absolute cunt of a man.

It's people like him that are trying to rip the heart and soul out of football.  He sees it as one thing and one thing only, a business.

 

His next suggestion; formal attire mandatory to attend football matches.  All these working class peasents showing up in their casual clothes are making the game look bad.

If this does happen what are the chances of what they threatened in spain, of clubs remaining on a collective deal refusing to put out proper teams and bothering to play the big clubs? Would be brilliant, imagine match of the day "and now newcastle have sat down and having tea on the pitch while man u score"

I wouldn't pile all the blame on him, imagine the top clubs have long been talking about this between themselves. Liverpool probably first to come out and say it

 

Yep, of course they have. Your average Joe in the street has been talking about this happening for years on fan messageboards and in workplaces and boozers so you can bet anything top club executives have been discussing it and like you say, Liverpool just the first to come out and say it.
