Bollocks.

He also said they're ready to support the Football authorities in whatever way they need.

[Dr Jinx]

Interesting he mentioned anti-competition in his statement. 

[Ketsbaia]

 

[nufcjb]

Let them fuck off if we're going to do some stupid reviews then.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Didn't all parties promise a fan-lead review already?

There’s only one thing I’m interested in, and that’s bent clubs...

[midds]

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 

[ToonArmy1892]

It's all just going to blow over, isn't it?

Nowt will be done about it.

[andyc35i]

Yeah I have feeling there will be a nice little compromise from everyone involved and the status quo protected

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

I would resize that if I was allowed.

[toontownman]

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.

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

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. 

[Stifler]

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.

[cowlie63]

Let them stay in the EPL and then hit them with massive fines and points deductions every time they rest a couple of players.

Definitely, stop dragging the history of these clubs through the mire. These people don't represent the club, they represent themselves. 

[ElDiablo]

This is a open goal for the Government.

[BlueStar]

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?  

[RS]

ESL Games would be in for nowt to bring the fans in. 
 

Ashley proved it works. Owt for nowt mentality.

[Shak]

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?
