By Frustrated_me Go To PostSomeone explain something to me.Maybe don't believe everyone nonsense that was surely put out by Perez or Agnelli to make the english club sounds bad.
It was announced that the English teams leaving the SL would get more money (presumably others would get less), that's all nice and dandy but why was that being celebrated? Doesn't that go against the spirit of rejecting the SL in the first place?
By Xpike Go To Postyou can argue wooden was banned due to american owners not understanding european fan culture
Martins and I only went along with it because we didn't want to be left behind.

Super League 2: Electric Boogaloo
How many year until rangers and celtic would be in league 1?
Frustrated tomrorow : but it was announced there was only 40 Chelsea fans unhappy and protesting, how come they pulled out? Kind of goes against the spirit of football.
By Pennywise Go To PostMaybe don't believe everyone nonsense that was surely put out by Perez or Agnelli to make the english club sounds bad.I don't understand why you're so aggressive and mad all the time, how can that be healthy?
I didn't read this from Perez. I had seen it on the avalanche of news that was coming out yestersday well before Perez spoke. It could very well be fake, and if it is that's fine, so be it.

What did Stephen do to you?
By Pedja Go To PostPenny vs the winner of Will vs MeierQuestion is do they all get equal earnings after the fight or do the capitalists carve themselves a larger share?
By Pennywise Go To PostMaybe don't believe everyone nonsense that was surely put out by Perez or Agnelli to make the english club sounds bad.I mean none of the clubs involved are coming out looking good out of this lol

By pulga Go To PostI mean none of the clubs involved are coming out looking good out of this lolOf course not, but at least the others are mostly shutting up.
maybe its time we all hop on the MIA SAN MIA wagon <3
Perez goes on to give interviews and even attacks his partners.
By Frustrated_me Go To PostI don't understand why you're so aggressive and mad all the time, how can that be healthy?It was part of a spanish "journalist" saying that.
I didn't read this from Perez. I had seen it on the avalanche of news that was coming out yestersday well before Perez spoke. It could very well be fake, and if it is that's fine, so be it.
You haven't seen that stuff from any credible english journalist, who would certainly post information like right away.
So it's pretty obvious where it's coming from. Just makes zero sense.
More money for international teams is something that I could settle on, given that UEFA was exploring a deal that was posted on here a few days ago that had different sources and everything, but just english clubs?
So Real Madrid is taking the sole blame and they are getting Bale back at the end of the season? Banter
By cRrusheR Go To PostSo Real Madrid is taking the sole blame?
Nah
Tweet also says UEFA directors are trying to swing a pardon for Madrid and Juve
And since Barca is still also #allin, I hope they come down with us because fuck them too :3
By inky Go To PostSponsors would riot if any remaining team was kicked out, as fun as that would be.
Yeah, I think they just want to be seen to threaten it.
Hit them with like transfer bans or something since they're so poor apparently anyways. It'll be like an intervention, which apparently some of you need from your abusive relationships with your clubs lol.
By inky Go To PostIArsenal fans were worse when David Luiz was sent off and no one left then.
Not even remotely close lmfao
Actually my club only beats me like once a week (most of the time I actually just fell down some stairs) which is a very normal.
By Probity Go To PostHit them with like transfer bans or something since they're so poor apparently anyways. It'll be like an intervention, which apparently some of you need from your abusive relationships with your clubs lol.Would you really want that? I consider Arsenal's transfer policy to be a charity. Always helping out the poors.
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostAhahahahahahahahaha
So William signing was actually a good idea then
gotcha
By /bacon Go To PostWould you really want that? I consider Arsenal's transfer policy to be a charity. Always helping out the poors.Arsenal and Tottenham can both be exempt because watching them makes my eyes bleed and someone needs to buy Tolisso if we want Camavinga.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostSurprised he didn't just put everyone in ignore insteadIt doesn't really make sense to post in a topic that has like 30 active users if you've put half of them on ignore.
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostAhahahahahahahahahaIf there were some spectacle around it, this statement would be the perfect intersection of ‘bad idea’ and ‘spectacularly wrong’.
By Xpike Go To Post
wait so they didnt even have a rule for this before?
is there not actually anything for them to punish?
By Xpike Go To Post
Yesssss get ‘em out
By Cleff Go To PostManchester City.I'm sure they're only doing this because Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal pushed them into it.
The good guys.
By Plasma Go To PostI'm sure they're only doing this because Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal pushed them into it.The Sheikh is nothing if not accommodating.
Barca’s statement is summat else
1.- FC Barcelona shares the view of most major European football clubs, and even more so given the current socio-economic climate, that there is a need for structural reforms to guarantee the financial sustainability and feasibility of world football by improving the product that is offered to fans around the world and by consolidating and even increasing the fan base on which this sport is sustained, which is its mainstay and greatest strength.
In this context, the FC Barcelona Board of Directors accepted, as a matter of immediate urgency, the offer to form part, as the founding member, of the Super League, a competition designed to improve the quality and attractiveness of the product offered to the football fans and, at the same time, and as one of FC Barcelona's most inalienable principles, seek new formulas for solidarity with the football family as a whole.
The decision was made in the conviction that it would have been a historical error to turn down the opportunity to be part of this project as one of its founding members. As one of the world's top sports club, our intention shall always be to be at the forefront, this being an indispensable part of the club's identity and its sporting, social and institutional spirit.
In whatever case, FC Barcelona, as a club that always has been and always shall be owned by each and every one of its members, expressly reserved the right to submit such an important decision to the final approval of its competent social bodies following careful and very necessary study of the proposal.
2.- Given the public reaction that the aforementioned project has generated in many and various spheres, there is no question that FC Barcelona appreciates that a much more in-depth analysis is required into the reasons that have caused this reaction in order to reconsider, if necessary, and to the required extent, the proposal as originally formulated and resolve all those issues, always for the good of the general interest of the football world. Such in-depth analysis needs time and the necessary composure to avoid taking any rash action.
We feel it is equally important to highlight the objective fact that a Court of Justice has already granted urgent legal protection as requested, thus confirming right of the initiative on the part of the founding clubs of the Super League project. In this regard, FC Barcelona considers that it would be improper for the necessary process of reflection and debate to be established under criteria of unjustified pressure and intimidation.
Despite being perfectly aware of the importance and interest raised by this matter, as well as the need to always act with the utmost transparency, FC Barcelona shall act at all times with due prudence and asks for the utmost understanding, respect and most of all patience among FC Barcelona supporters and public opinion in general.

RM, Barca and Juve in full ride or die mode. It's this or they're fucked for a long time / forever.
The best they can do is "we need to keep getting bigger" it sounds like, and implying that football right now isn't good enough for the fans lol. The audacity of these clubs is impressive, and I thought we were arrogant.
If I was Barca idk why I wouldn't be more upfront about being nearly at the breaking point, the club is practically too big to fail and would probably get some outside help I'd think? They do it all the time in the US lol.

By Frustrated_me Go To PostThis is not necessarily a good thing, at all actually.Wasn’t that the whole ethos of the Super League? This does the exact opposite as it creates resistance to the rich clubs just forming a cartel and getting richer as it was planned? It is, actually, a great thing.
Rich getting richer.

Barca have the highest revenue of pretty much any sports team in the world, they haven't spent on a big new stadium, they haven't had a leveraged buyout, they've literally run themselves into the ground by bad spending, bad decisions and bad investments.
And they're now trying to gaslight people into thinking this was all just inevitable because top level football is financially unsustainable. Fucking useless cunts.
