Perez is apparently going to answer Chelsea tonight. I suspect he won't let Chelsea leave this quite so easily.

They won't ban them. If they do, I doubt the big clubs will care. They'll just join the Super League and make a lot of money. UEFA and FIFA need those big teams more than the big teams need UEFA and FIFA. It's why UEFA and FIFA are panicking at the moment. They know damn well that the big clubs...

It deflects about people talking about Brexit. Boris is coming out looking like a hero from all of this. I doubt his efforts will amount to much, though.

I know. But City and Chelsea don't need the guaranteed money as Spurs and Arsenal do.

Looks like this will be the most likely outcome. They'll just give the bigger clubs a bigger share than what they currently get. Let's be honest here, it's teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Man United and Bayern that bring them the most money. But the 12 clubs may still feel the...

If this is true, then it proves UEFA and FIFA have no legal grounds to stop the clubs from joining their own league. Seems like they're panicking and will try to keep those big clubs in. It all depends on what % the clubs will get from it. If this only benefits UEFA and FIFA, then I suspect the...

They can try, but it will get rejected. They legally can't stop people from working abroad.

For now. If this ESL goes ahead and it turns out be successful, Bayern and PSG will be begging to join. The only reason PSG is against it at the moment is down to the 2022 World Cup.

You can blame UEFA and FIFA for that one. By allowing oil-driven companies to buy football clubs and then with the FFP, it's killing every smaller club every year. UEFA and FIFA talk like the Super League is awful and that they will destroy football, but UEFA and FIFA were the ones that started...

They simply can't pull out now. Perez already stated every club has signed and the contract is binding. If those clubs attempt to pull out, they would face a huge lawsuit. I'm not saying Perez is very truthful or anything, but I doubt he'd lie about this..... and I'd choose to believe him over...

Perez is going to save football. Thank God for this man.

But.... what implications does it have on future Champions League/Europa League places. UEFA and FIFA have already said they'll ban any team or any player if they take part in this. Who gets the Champions League places if Barcelona, Real and Atletico finish in the top 3? What is the point of...

I know about it. But you're not thinking about the potential games they would have to play. There is no way they can do a 20 team Super League and a 20 team domestic league. It's simply impossible.

They can't do both. It's impossible if it's a 20 team Super League and a 20 team domestic league. They have to play one another twice, then do a knockout/quarter-final, semi-final and then a final. You're literally talking about 80 plus games in a season if you include the domestic clubs.

I know that. But I doubt that'll be the case. How can you have a 20 team Super League and also have a domestic league? Say every team has to play one another twice, you're talking about another 38 games..... then you're talking about a knockout stage, quarter-final, semi-final and the finals...

This might end up helping us short-term, but it could actually kill us 5 years from now on if this Super League ends up failing. UEFA and FIFA won't suddenly let those teams back into their respective leagues. Once you're out..... you're out.

The problem is.... there are no guarantees this Super League will work out. Sure, it could be good for a year or 2..... but what if it ends up failing 3 or 4 years from now? UEFA and FIFA are not suddenly going to let those clubs back into their respective leagues..... and if they do, those...

He's declined so badly. Loses the ball an awful lot, and his finishing has suddenly gone terrible. Not to mention, he's always injured. He's also 30 next year.

The problem is.... why would teams pay for him in the summer when they can easily get for free next year? Besides, I doubt any team would pay that much for him.
