thomas Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Boy the CL final sure brings in a lot of money. What if we had an international league of "big clubs" where we could bill every game as a CL final? I'm sure none of the importance, novelty and spectacle would wear off in under a month and we'd be megarich! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small part of me hopes they go ahead with it tbh, call their bluff and let them see how little appetite there is for it.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Would be amazing if they actually deducted points off the teams who signed up to it. Arsenal would potentially be relegated depending on how severe the deduction was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Dream scenario for me is they break out and form their own league, get thrown out of all other competitions, super leage fails miserably and eventually gets disbanded. All teams that particiapted has to start at lowest tier in their respective countries. However the super league will take a fair chunk of sponsorship/viewership from Premier League which results in all clubs having to cut wages, broadcasters has to lower their subscription fees to retain viewers which results in even more wage cuts having to be made to keep the top clubs alive. Kind of like a soft reset. I know it's naive. The super league will probably be a huge success because consumers will never act on their collective power to make the world a better place.

The FA Cup semi-final that is about kick off should be the final. Tell them to comeback and talk about it in the summer when the rest of the footballing world has calmed down and they have realised that it’s a bad idea and their bluff has been called out.

Thorpinho Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Big crossroads for the EPL really. Take a stand now or bow down and let these clubs rule even more than they already do. Banning and points deduction would be amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were smart they'd force it to get bundled in with some "football/sport package" you won't opt out of and it'd be another £5/mo upcharge. Then they'd relentlessly murder you with ads for it and get enough people watching to trumpet it as a success.

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 Edited April 18, 2021 by triggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
