Dr.Spaceman Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Man City have failed to win the league once since 17/18, but let's worry about Newcastle potentially doing a Portsmouth. Why are more people not going nuclear over this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheikBoom Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 So 16 clubs voted to essentially protect the top 6 and their advantage? Wonderful. Says a lot about the other clubs as well.

CallumG6 Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Times like this I wish the Super League came off and those at the top fucked off for good, whilst leaving the rest of us to it. It's been said before, but the game itself has been circling the drain for years and has fallen victim (like most of society) to profits uber alice. I'm normally an optimist but struggle when it comes to football. Fuck the other 16 for playing their role in continuing the status quo, beggars belief!

Sima Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 Getting voted over by cuck clubs who have no place being in the top tier at all historically. Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Bournemouth. Put those teams in the north and they wouldn't be anywhere higher than the Championship playoffs.

Expand The proposed super league was to break away from Uefa. They would have continued to boss the premier league with the rules super league or not. And it doesn't beggar belief if your one of those other clubs and can't/unwilling to compete. It actually makes sense for them to take this position.
