Supposedly Dortmund, Bayern and PSG are the 3 remaining founders yet to be announced

A franchise-based clique in an attempt to funnel cash flow from North America and Asia to create maximum value for the shareholders and ROI for the funder of the project. Right now the superleague seems far more likely than not to implode onto itself in a few years

I just hope things get incredibly petty from here on. Ban em, ban their players, burn down football as we know it. At the end of the day it's just venture capitalists playing around with big companies, Liverpool are the next Toys R Us.

About the only thing I can see having any real impact here is if the players go against it. Even busting the teams down the domestic tiers isn't going to bother them if they can operate the money printing machine in the meantime.

Leeches like Raiola and Mendes must be making GBS threads themselves with anticipation of the paydays they’re going to get if this goes through.

They’ve always been one of the names when this topic came up before. They’re on record I believe saying they would join if possible. Just do a Porto v PSG final Sorry, correction: gently caress PSG just give it to Porto Redczar fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Apr 19, 2021 |

I haven't been paying attention to any of this for a while; did this just come out of nowhere as a surprise? This seems insane.

Always sort of lurking in the background that the Glazers wanted it and maybe Real Madrid, but never any details and never any real momentum behind it. Seems since they've got JP Morgan on board, now the brakes are off and they're going to make a go of it. Which I hope nobody watches and the idiots pulling this lose money, but that's not how global society works anymore apparently.

Fucks sake, this is the endgame of Arsenal having American ownership. If these teams force this through and the national leagues ban them it's going to cause complete mayhem. It even throws the rest of this season into doubt... I have to say one thing I am finding amusing is that Spurs are in this. You last won a league title in 1961 what the gently caress are you doing you clowns

I mean if they really get kicked out of their domestic leagues (which I doubt they will) then they might as well have a salary cap and tie player salaries to revenue like other north american leagues. actually i guess that would probably need a bunch of other crazy things to happen first so forget it. just thinking about other ways this might lead them to cutting costs now that the threat of being replaced is no longer on the table. e: guess we have to see how the payouts will work .

I guess one good side of this whole thing is that it's a kick up the arse to uefa/fifa and stupid ideas like the Champs league rework and 48 team world cups in loving Qatar. They all need to gently caress off. If Arsenal become a franchise that kills football for me though and that's sad

It even throws the rest of this season into doubt... Every league needs its Cleveland Browns This seems like something that will blow up in a few years but meanwhile the clubs will have taken a few hundred million dollars out of HF or PE money or whoever the gently caress is funding this and then we'll go back to the current status quo

The DPRK posted:Is the idea for this to replace Champions League games for these clubs? Yes, seems like the idea is for them to stop playing the Champions League and instead play in their own guaranteed sandbox where they make more money and can never get the spigot turned off by being crap and finishing seventh.

I think the point the controlling interests of these 12 (but really 15) clubs have made is the domestic leagues would be burning down their own houses if they tried. The revenue that the domestic leagues and Champions League enjoy come overwhelmingly from fans of these teams. What would be the asking price for the sponsorship of a London derby between West Ham and Crystal Palace? What is the overseas TV revenue going to be for your European final between Leicester City and *trip to Wikipedia* ...Roma? It sucks, but it seems inevitable that the super rich oligarchs would eventually turn on the slightly-less rich aristocrats that pretended to be in control of the situation. This is either the endgame or all the leverage needed to cause the domestic leagues and UEFA to bend backward as far as required to maintain the illusion of status quo.

If this is the case and the big clubs have all the leverage then it seems like the leagues should just tell them to gently caress off right now because this is just the start. Rip off the bandaid. Also lol at Arsenal and Spurs being in this
