Actually that's a pretty weak statement. They specifically didn't say they wanted to hold the clubs accountable but rather the shareholders accountable. It sounds like they are going to try and get the shareholders removed rather than kick the actual clubs out which I doubt it possible.

You are probably right but those clubs still have millions of domestic fans. Fans who live in and around those clubs who aren't going to start supporting one of the teams in the Super League. They will instead find themselves in a league where they now have a chance of winning where money isn't...

Actually the opposite. I wouldn't mind it if there were 20 teams who were guaranteed their place every season and this league was completely separate from the football pyramid. Expanding the European competitions and funneling all the money to the teams that play in it is what is making the...

I think they have already broke the rules of the premier league. It's very possible if they do try and push this through even if it doesn't go through all those teams may find their points deducted for this season and if that happens they will all be out of the CL next season whatever happens.

Exactly. Personally I think this may be great news for domestic fans. If they get booted from their leagues the European game may go back to what it was before when it was for domestic fans and where there was true competition between clubs who were in constant flux. Have this "league" be the...

The only reason they want to stay in their domestic leagues is because they want to keep winning things since this competition will only have one winner. The problem is UEFA and the domestic leagues won't allow that. It will skew those leagues even more than they have been already by the CL and...

Another thing the fans of these clubs should consider is if this goes through the owners are now in charge with no regulations and nothing stopping them from doing what they want. That includes playing home games around the world, turning this into a world wide super league, renaming clubs or...

They are acting like a cartel so I'm not surprised government is taking a look.

This will not make clubs who were previously great great again. If anything it will make them less than they are now because now while they may no longer be European powerhouses they still are in their domestic leagues. Within a few seasons teams like Juventus, Chelsea, Arsenal and any of the...

I don't see how allowing players from these clubs to compete in their competitions benefit FIFA or UEFA as what would happen is eventually these clubs would then seek to share in that revenue too as compensation for their players. It would make far more sense for UEFA and FIFA to make it a...

Honestly not sure how this is going to work. If UEFA and the national leagues give any player who plays in the Super League a lifetime ban from their competitions then how do any of these teams develop players by loaning them to smaller clubs or sell players that don't work out when there's...

Messi is known as a Barca player not as an Argentina player and I have no doubt they will.

Honestly I have only gone to one home game travelling from the UK and even though it was the last season of Neymar, Suarez and Iniesta I still went to see Messi albeit while he was still in a good team. I just had a feeling time was running out for that. Glad I did, Messi scored two and one was...

There are an awful lot of fans in the world who are fans of Messi and not Barca.

Didn't Pep walk because he saw saw the team had stopped listening to him (which is basically a manager saying, working off the ball). It's hardly surprising when the players know the manager has to play them if they are on that much.

Yea who knows. Every game it's he will be ready next game. He got whacked when playing against Liverpool by a late challenge from VVD and hasn't been the same since. He played a few games after that but didn't look fit and that period coincideded with an awful run where we went from 1st to mid...

Barca having 3 number 10s is exactly what Koeman bought for Everton and I see it is going just as well. That's a great shout. As an Everton fan I hate to say it but he's a fantastic manager.

Most deluded fan. Get over it. Its a contact sport and the ball was there to be won. All goal keepers come off their line for that one. It's up to VVD not to stand legs planted like an idiot. VVD injured James with a late challenge minutes before. Gave Deulofeu an ACL. He's hardly an angel...

I said a few years ago Lukaku probably wouldn't suit you but he would also score about 60 goals lol. Lukaku is deadly with some one that can provide him through balls that he can run on to and bully defenders out of the way. There was one season where Deulofeu provided him about 10 in 10 games...

How many reds have you seen given to a goalkeeper when it's a 50/50 challenge. There is a reason for that. Goalkeepers get the benefit of the doubt and everyone understands when they come out to claim or challenge for the ball. The outcome doesn't change that.
