Paolo Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I know it has been talked about before by the big teams, but it seems it may have taken a step closer. Probably won’t impact Scottish football or us, but the leagues concerned should be expelled from their leagues immediately, if anything were to be announced. The problem is, particularly England, they probably can’t afford to do that, with the TV money being what it is. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/18/sports/soccer/super-league-united-liverpool-juventus-madrid.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OTT Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 13 minutes ago, Rogue Daddy said: Maybe not... but if it happened, would England, then, take them off our hands?🤔🤞🤞🤞 Not a chance! Reckon if they lose the big 6, the bigger Championship clubs would be bumped up and become more established lower end EPL clubs, I can't imagine Sunderland, Hull, West Brom type clubs being okay with those two jumping the queue. The special treatment they are subject to up here wouldn't apply down there and I think any attempt to approach the English FA with the arrogance they swan around with up here would be shot down pretty brutally IMO. I don't think the OF ego could handle not being the biggest fish in the pond either tbh. They like to pretend they want competition but they like the easy cups.

Cruyff Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Selfish to the 'real supporters' of those clubs, disgustingly selfish way to treat their own league members and the wider football world. Any team that leaves the parameters of domestic league, domestic European competition and with that, the FIFA governing body, should be forced to start their 'own' association and should be completely ostracised. Leave them to their greedy globetrotting gang bang where they play games in N. America and Asia to plastic supporters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing we can do about it so the best thing is to ignore it, unless it rides us of the uglies. No interest in the champions league now, I get more out of Motherwell v kilmarnock if the result has a bearing on us or upsets hibs etc. The rest is just what you've said, it's not sport, just pure coin.

The Mighty Thor Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 UEFA have got some neck on them. They're changing the Champions League format to hand out invites to 'big clubs' that might have had a pish season whilst actual champions of countries need to play 3 qualifying rounds. Whether it's now or later a Euro league is coming and UEFA will be 'oot the windae' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaun.lawson Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 6 minutes ago, Nunya Business said: Hard to take UEFAs side over this when they've helped create the massive divide between these so-called super clubs and everyone else. UEFA have never had a choice. Every single time the Champions League format's come up for renewal, the biggest European clubs have threatened a breakaway. And it's the biggest clubs who, in practice, have all the power. So UEFA have tried to keep them inside the tent pissing out, not outside pissing in... but we've moved step by step by inexorable step to this. Qatar hosting the World Cup is also part of this - because it'd allow the biggest clubs, if they take over, to sychnronise the global calendar and play prestige friendlies/some other naff exhibition tournament every June. This is just the highest stakes poker game we've seen yet. "Give us what we want now UEFA, or we're off". And they might end up staying one last time - but a Super League's only ever been a question of when, not if. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Already happened. "As previously announced by FIFA and the six Federations, the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level, and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams."
