midds Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Little fucking King Tommen gobshite. Still got no idea why they're trying their best to stop it when they should be doing the exact opposite. Make it happen, make it as easy as possible for them to leave, lock, stock. The sooner they leave the better the league (from a purely competitive pov) will be. Restore a bit of parity, get the fans packing out grounds every week and build the top flight up again without the cunts. Fuck them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Wouldn't surprise me if they called a meeting for tomorrow with the other clubs, excluding the breakaway 6, because they are spending the whole day placating those 6 clubs so they can present their compromise and let the rest of the league know tomorrow that they have let the 6 continue in the league under certain stipulations.

geordie_b Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Has anything been mentioned about ticket prices? They might not care about 'Legacy Fans' but half filled stadiums will be massively damaging to the ESL illusion Certainly cant see away fans travelling in any numbers, the teams they have chosen (bar the English teams) arent even known for their domestic away followings Edited April 19, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'm hoping that the narrative will swiftly switch from "These clubs" to "These owners and execs." By name. All of their pictures up together. Has to be personal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Apparently the government may threaten to make the ESL a national interest, and therefore legally free to air, which would massively devalue the broadcast rights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 If they don't care what "Legacy fans" in the local area think, why do they need existing clubs? Just invent some, North England Avengers, South of France Superstars and fill them with all the best players.. Obviously nobody would watch that at all, so they do seemingly value the heritage and city-linked brand of the clubs, no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Been out most of the day. Is the current idea that these teams will still play in the PL as normal and this new wankthing will essentially just replace the Champions League? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I fuckin love some of the hardball tactics being proposed, I so so hope they stick to their guns - kicked out this season's CL, banning players playing internationally, kick them out CL. For a bit I really didn't want them to leave as would devalue the league we play in, but now I just really want to fuck them off. Would give me a bigger buzz than anything Newcastle have in last few years. Edited April 19, 2021 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmintheChaos Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I keep reading that it would wreck the pyramid system in this country. In what way? I fail to see how.

Hhtoon Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 As much as I want the PL to come out and take action now, they need to check the legal position first. The Super League teams have a bit of an advantage at the mo as they've been planning this and they must feel they have a strong legal position to support them staying domestically. Fucking hope not though, want them gone or totally humiliated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
