Honestly find this board laughable at times - for over a decade you've all whined about UEFA and the elitist CL and the conduct of these bodies - and now someone threatens it you're whining about that instead.

Comical.


As I said in a previous post:

Furthermore, just because you're opposing UEFA and FIFA doesn't automatically put in you in the right either.


Besides, what exactly have we whined about for over a decade? Personally speaking I've only complained about the FFP, because I feel it only favours some clubs. But I've also commented many times that the true wrongdoers in this whole mess are the rich clubs themselves, because they've driven a bubble of prices to insane and unsportsmanlike levels that only applies a handful of them.

And now, lo and behold, these clubs cannot withhold their very own systems anymore. They need more money, so they want to jeopardise a fair system that's been working for decades only to fatten their own pockets.

Florentino Perez: We've made the European Super League to save football

Dear lord, listen to this tw@t. All he talks about is money, money, money...

QUOTE
"There are a lot of games of poor quality. Barcelona-Manchester United is more entertaining than Manchester United against a more modest team.


Sorry big guy, but didn't your Real Madrid lose twice to Shakhtar Donetsk this year? Oh, right, you only care about prestige, what makes more money. F*ck the competition. Who cares about the modest and small clubs, they don't make enough money.

It's abhorrent. Save football? More like put the nail on the coffin.

QUOTE
The biggest clubs in England, Italy and Spain had to find a solution to the really terrible situation they were in," Perez said. "The European Club Association says they've lost five billion euros. At Real Madrid we had a budget of 800 million euros and we finished with 700m. This year instead of 900m, let's see if we get 600m. In two seasons Real Madrid have lost 400m.


Then don't pay 100 million for a deadbeat like Hazard you tw@t! Don't pay him 20 fucking million pounds every year! Don't pay 15 million pounds to Sergio Ramos, and all your other players.

Instead, propose a bill that puts a cap on prices and salaries. Normalise the corrupt price system you and your friends drove in the first place, and you'll eventually see your revenues will be more than sufficient to cover whatever you're spending.

It's laughable that these 12 think anyone but themselves are to blame for how football is. They drives transfer fees and wages up too massive levels, nobody else is responsible for this.

Bielsa said it right "The logic in the world at the moment, and football is not outside of this, is that the rich get rich at the expense of the poor... And then they demand more privileges."

And what do they think is going to happen in the ESL, exactly? That everyone is not going to try and outspend each other, driving transfer fees and salaries up higher?

Anyone that mentions UEFA or FIFA is missing the point. Just being against someone, regardless of what the opposition propose to do, is stupidity. If this is so good for football and fans, why are fan owned clubs like Bayern and Dortmund not jumping at the chance?

As for the product in itself, I don't know if anyone has watched top level football in the past 5 years, but it's intensely boring. Every time Man U play Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc it's 0-0. It's overly defensive football.

Apparently 1 or 2 of the English clubs are reconsidering their position in the ESL after the backlash.

Perez said that everything has been signed so they can't back out. You mean, like how everything has been signed with the leagues, and your backing out?

Chelsea preparing to withdraw.

Wonderful.

Never let the owners and fans who supported this forget which side they were on. Enemies of football.

Chelsea, Man City, Barcelona, Man U and Atleti all out.

All of these clubs should still be relegated and get a huge European ban as punishment, Milan included. But at least the devil is dead.

This is the worst outcome that could have happened imo

I had an inkling that this could just be a major chess game between the clubs and UEFA so that the clubs could finally get a more fair deal out of UEFA. But to do THIS?! Just an embarrassing turn of events imo. At least show some balls and take this down to the wire FFS. UEFA would have caved eventually. Didn't know that it would turn out to be a friendly game of checkers instead (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And it figures that it is the EPL clubs who backed out first, most especially the ones who are bankrolled by oil money. They don't need the money like the other clubs do, they already exist within a hyper greedy entity such as the EPL, which is a breakaway league in and of itself btw

I just love the audacity and drama from people like Neville who work for Sky Sports. The sheer lack of self awareness is just laughable

Never liked either. But honestly, they should all be ashamed for half @ssing this so badly

I hope we announce our resignation as soon as possible and save us further embarrassment.
