European Super League horseshit now a possibility?

[arrgee]

The captains of each club are meeting tomorrow, wonder will they have the bollocks to issue a statement after it?

Aubamayang isn’t going to turn up for that, is he? Probably have Xhaka deputise for him

[rodders999]

Amazon have just shit all over it....massive blow, definitely didn’t see that coming. If the big broadcasters start to run a mile to avoid being associated with all the negative publicity surrounding this thing then it’s dead in the water before it’s even begun and all the clubs will be left with their tiny little peckers swinging in the breeze.

Who will be our voice if Auba's still too ill?

Heccy?

Online meeting so as long as he’s not playing PS5 or browsing PornHub he’ll be there

I've just seen that Alan shitrag Shearer thinks all six clubs should be banned from the Premier League. Presumably if all the players from all six clubs had booted a fellow professional in the face as they lay on the floor, he'd feel that a ban wasn't needed. What a fucking cűnt he was and still is.

no chance it happening - there are just far too many obstacles - the players dont want it, the managers dont want it, the fans dont want it.
the government could decide to not give work permits to any overseas player, they can decide not to police matches so they couldnt go ahead.
any fans that decide to attend matches here would be subject to massive harassment, in Liverpool you would probably have full scale city riots if the Merseyside derby didnt take place any more.

if the owners decide it cant take place here then they will move the clubs abroad - good then that will leave the stadiums free for Phoenix clubs to take over here in their place and we can get back to normal.#
The circus can be left to the Chinese to watch it. Better still move the whole bloody thing to China and get their players to take part in it

UEFA don’t want it as it will mean their 20% cut will be worth far less. I would dispute that players, managers and fans don’t want it. I think there has been a knee jerk reaction and a lot of grandstanding. Ultimately UEFA have failed to create an elite competition in the last 30 years and the big clubs have had enough. The likes of Kroenke doesn’t see any good reason why Arsenal should be excluded from the main competition in Europe because there are at least half a dozen top clubs in England whilst the Danish champions qualify and get soundly beaten in the group stages.

I am all for reforming European football. It has turned into a predictable bore fest. UEFA are incapable of making the necessary changes and whilst this super league proposal is not perfect, it appears better than what is currently in place.

Pep taking the moral high ground here when his club is bankrolled to the moon by Abu Dhabi oil money

Game’s gone mate.

Hoping to be available Friday was the last update so seems so.

DAZN will be all over it like a rash. They already have the streaming infrastructure in place in over 200 countries/territories (UK, USA, Canada, Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil to name a few).

Amazon were never in the race imo.

Amazon have a broadcasting deal with the Premier League so it can't be seen to be publicly supporting something which may have damaging to the brand or devalues their investment. Behind the scenes it might be a different story entirely, though. If this goes ahead, it will be a brand new broadcaster with absolutely no connection to current deals in the countries whose teams are taking part. Don't rule out the clubs rolling out their own broadcast service with the help of an established provider like YouTube or DZN or Star Sports/Disney.

Amazon do have a vested interest as they show UEFA games in Germany and Italy. Besides quite glad they are excluding themselves as their broadcasts are pretty poor. Watching football with 25 FPS just gives me a headache.

In the end Sky will have what it takes to do this and they have a big presence in Italy as well as the UK. And they haven’t protested against it.

Sky aren't the only broadcasters capable.

Where are you getting dead in the water from?

I've heard/read nothing to suggest that at all.
