The greedy agents will be hoping for even more inflated transfer fees out of this.

I think a lot of overseas "fans" will think it's a great idea. Real fans will hate it.

Re: European Premier League?
cant see it happening.....players would be banned from FIFA sanctioned tournaments including the WC as well as these clubs being banned from competing in their domestic tournaments...just a bargaining ploy by these clubs to get more pf the CL $$$ pie

Re: European Premier League?
How much do they want ? This just smacks of total greed , arrogance and disregard for the game.
Re: European Premier League?
Pure greed stands behind this league,Champions league has not been about champions for a long time now,this will deepen the divide of the footballs rich/poor clubs.I am glad players in this league may get bans from playing in Euros,or world cups of future.
Re: European Premier League?

Re: European Premier League?
They've calculated that they don't actually need the real fans who turn up at 3pm every Saturday, who travel the length and breadth of the country and continent to support the team, they're more interested in the massive populations in Asia who will pay to stream the games and buy their merchandise.
If it goes ahead, FIFA should give lifetime bans from playing for their country or in any FIFA tournament, to any player signing a new contract with one of these clubs. You can't blame players already contracted, they're innocents in this, but let's see how many top level players want to take the risk of signing, not many I suspect. All of a sudden, the 'Super' league will only have second string players and won't look so super.

Re: European Premier League?
Difference is cricketers were massively underpaid for the income they were generating plus test cricket was the only consistent form of the game

Re: European Premier League?
Millwall have a yank owner and I like him so I certainly wouldn't just an entire nationality on the actions of a few people for that country. Only a racist would do that.

Re: European Premier League?
Super League want to shorten game time,because young people up to age of 24 cant watch a full game of football,because it is to long for their attention spans.

Already beginning to unravel
How can such wealthy, successful businessmen so spectacularly misjudge the public mood? Perhaps they don't give a shit.

Re: European Premier League?
joe lewis owns spurs not levy he is a yank isnt he. millwalls owner must only be a millionaire but lets be honest yanks are only involved in english football because of the money it generates NOTHING MORE and even you should realise this by now. my worry is that billionaires usualy get their own way on this planet as they are above the laws we peasants are forced to abide by. i hope all players request transfers.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:15 am
