Football Governance


Recommended Posts

One of Neville's tweet nailed it on its head. The nerve of this lot sharing €3bn among themselves and then turning up on Saturdays for a kickabout. That's the point really. They have their own party and their own cash, yet they aren't willing to let go of what they currently get too. The absolute greed.

Most of the teams involved aren't even in the top positions of their respective leagues, or have been crap for ages.

AC Milan ffs :lol: their last 7 season finishes are 6th, 5th, 6th, 6th, 7th, 10th, 8th. Arsenal are a shell of their former self, Tottenham are still really a mid-table team. This is no super league.

Owners and sponsors have become too powerful. Power needs to be taken back by the fans. Over and over, decisions have been made that negatively affect the game and enough is enough. These teams think they have a right to receive a certain level of oncome without earning it, they can fuck off.

or equally our situation and the bottom feeders after a quick buck. Sportswashing, Super League, PFM's, Jobs for the boys/know your place. It's fucking rotten and I hate it actually.

Can fans of the Spanish clubs block their participation?

Atlético aren't fan-owned, so they can't. Real Madrid are, but they are "one man, one vote", Florentino being that man. 

Barça will probably put it to a membership vote next autumn. Everybody I know is against it, but I can see it the board passing it if they campaign strongly on "vote yes or we'll fold".

Their super league would be a white elephant without the backbone of the Premier league, that's why. None of these top 6 will have the balls to break away if the PL threaten to kick them out. Just depends if the PL can hold their nerve.

Really hope they dish out bans to UEFA competitions at least, & not only just if they choose to push on with it. Not confident mind.

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.

This just goes to show how problematic something like big picture would have been. Hopefully it strengthens the resolve of the custodians of the game to limit the power of clubs.

Don't EPL rules mean that you need a 75% vote to remove them so as long as one doesn't break rank you'd struggle to kick them out. Hopefully Uefa boot them all out of their competitions and make the players ineligible for the Euros.

Potentially stupid idea not really thought through, but could the other 14 not vote to rejoin the football league and then stop promotion from the football league to the PL?

Do you think they'd still have him making the teas even though it's over Zoom? 

At least we know what he's up to for the rest of today: figuring out how to make virtual tea.

They still plan to be in the PL while also having much more money than they already have, they're not planning to leave.

Ah if that’s the case then yeah I get the outrage

They're thinking of the worldwide market. What would the average American want to watch, Man City vs Burnley or Man City vs Real Madrid?

Again, I'm not for it but I've probably watched 10 Premier League games this season, most of which involved Newcastle yet I watch most CL knockout games

This American would rather watch Man City and Burnley.  I think they are misreading their markets.  Their breakaway league will be unsustainable.  A parallel in American sport is the supposed p5 breakaway from the NCAA.  Just like this its a short sighted money grab.

 

Let JP Morgan underwrite it.  I'll laugh when the US gov't refuses to bail them out when it fails.

I think the PL (and other national leagues) need to release a statement to fans (legacy), right now, if they're going to go down the route of pretending to care about us. At least acknowledge the situation. 

Fucking legacy man [emoji38] it's so outrageous it's funny.

Exactly why they've jumped for it. Super Egos for Super League.

:thup: The champions league barely makes it on to TV over here. Other than the final. The rights have bounced around because no one watches. Perhaps that supports their desire for change idk. But either way, 2pm Wednesday isn’t exactly prime time.
