European Super League Officially Announced - All Comments In This Thread - Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Man United, Spurs & Chelsea all out of it

[Main Stand]

Anyone know when we should hear from the senile nutter?

 

[NDC bear forever]

Looking back, there has been absolutely nothing official from anyone, unless you take the UEFA welcome home message as the single occurrence.

City confirmed they’re out mate.

 

[Templbluenose]

Im lost with this,is it looking like being back on again,thought chelsea was definately out?

That tweet was saying Spanish teams are staying with super league. Only way to continue is with non-European teams imo

City as far as I can see are the only ones who have officially pulled out.

25 minutes apparently

 

[Macdonsj]

Hes waiting to see who wins at Stamford Bridge in case he needs to invite Brighton

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

City confirmed they’re out mate.

Sound. So, official from them, and the reply from UEFA. Nothing at all from anyone else. This is all still up in the air! Magic.

Does having non European teams not defeat the purpose of the European Super League ?

Who they gonna get ffs, Seattle Sounders or something

 

[Bluenose1992]

I also don't get why they launched it without any real details. They didn't have enough teams....and had clearly not even talked about staying in domestic football etc. Was such an early and shit launch. PR error, or arrogance ?

One. You have Billionaires that are use to doing whatever they want, when they want. (See English clubs)

Two. Teams in Italy and Spain who are in deep shit and are in desperation mode as their domestic rights values are dropping.

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

Pathetic

It’s a political statement mate, nothing more. UEFA need to try and present themselves as bastions of the noble support and above petty slights. At the same time, it sends the inference to the other clubs that they are not acting in the way they have congratulated Man City for doing.

The real conversations happen behind closed doors.

 

[The Barrel]

Only man city have actually left....mmmm

 

[JD1872]

Did Chelsea just say they were out to get the protesters to go home?

It was pointed out earlier that nobody involved had ever used the word European in relation to this. No idea if it is right enough.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez latest statement -
“Why make trillions when we could make...billions”

25 minutes apparently

Cracking, cheers mate

Chelsea have never said they were out that I can find. It was tweeted by a few accounts, but nothing from the club.

Fair point.

Still defeats the point of it of course if it ends up being with US clubs or something. Unless they want Boca and River plate or something

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Chelsea have basically said they'll prepare the legal documents tonight and submit them later or tomorrow morning.

I would say they are going to announce the documents have been sent at 11pm just so the news hits when the NYSE opens.

If you are open about planning to take the games around the world, why limit yourself to European teams? They will invite whoever they think can generate them the most cash.

Their slogan on their website is “the best teams, the best players”

If they do that then it would become an even bigger joke than it already is.

Clubs like Ajax, Benfica, Porto, us, tims, the Turk teams have history, large fan bases and a bit of name value. You could add them and while it would be lesser there would be atleast be name value sides. Adding the likes of Soceidad, Granada would be laughable

Half expecting him to turn round and say Man City have left %^*& all and that the contract they signed hands over their shares to him.

Is the NYSE on the night shift?

 

[Northampton_Loyalist]

And why would inviting the best South American teams go against that?

 

[YoungGer97]

Perez is like a cross between Silvio Berlusconi and Emperor Palpatine

 

[WinkieWATP]

Looks like Chelsea are going from Super League to Europa League

Here’s hoping.

 

[DrumBear]

That would actually be funny if they pulled that off

I wouldn't be surprised haha

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Because that’s only a waffly compromise they’d be forced into.

Clearly this was intended to be an elite European only club.

Oops, 11am tomorrow.

Half expecting him to come out here looking like Largo from Thunderball tbh.

(+Arsenal)

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Apparently Neville and Carragher coming up on Sky.

I'm not so sure. I think the vague 5 teams by invite thing was a clear open door to a worldwide target.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Apparently Neville and Carragher coming up on Monday Night Football.

So we have to wait 6 days then, great

I've been off work and glued to this for the past few days. It could be Tuesday or New Year's Day.

 

[Syme]

There will be issues with the EPL clubs who have backed out and those who haven't!! The relationship with the other clubs will be in tatters also.

Completely damaged the Premier League brand and surely massive consequences for the ‘big 6’.

 

[Too_The_Moon_Baby]

chelsea have not left, they just said it so they could get the fans away

 

[LaudrupTheGreat]

I would be as well just letting Neville speak for me from now on - I hope they eat themselves

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I joked about that earlier.

But it’s a pretty short term solution that one

 

[Geerfc19]

To me it's starting to look like a co-erced move to get more money in the end up.

I wonder if they were ever 100% serious.

You'll never know though. Snakes snaking other snakes.

The truth probably will never be known

 

[dunkin45]

UEFA are a bunch of Welsh words for one hundred.

It was the media who called it the European Super League

The clubs themselves only called it the Super League

I'm not so sure I think the promise of 200-250 mill upfront as founders basically is desperation especially since some of the finances of those 12 are in a pretty bad way

 

[spaceman2]

Say what you like about Gary Neville, but he's a proper football guy. Tearing strips off the Glazers here.

 

[Remo-town]

A lot of people on here are coming across as the baying mob who wanted us kicked out.

Short memories.

 

[LaudrupTheGreat]

Carragher and Neville seem to think this is over - I don’t think so
