We need to re-set to a former time when there were 11 in a team and one sub, had a manager who didn't need to explain the ins and outs of 'systems', a colour of kit which could be recognised and only changed when we clashed with Watford or Wolves, ditch VAR for decent referees and a pie and a pint for £3, stop sending players to acting school and leave The Americans and their infiltrating billionaire owners to their 'World Series of Wonderment'
But there's enough people working for these clubs to tell them its a bad idea. I don't buy that they all haven't heard this is a bad idea before it came out.
We do. Unfortunately a lot on here don't read him because their dads didn't read the paper he writes for. Though I remember Agnelli saying that at the time. Even better, Atalanta's win means it is possible Napoli could overtake Juventus and you could have a situation where the new Super League falls through and Atalanta are in the Champions League and Juventus are not. That would be wonderful.
The people doing this are living and working in their own bubble, surrounded by yes men. Anyone that had the sense to know what a bad idea this is and why had already sold their soul for the $$.
Even Steve Bruce told Assem Allam that some of his ideas weren't great. These clubs have some of the most famous managers and ambassadors in the world to tell them. I'm still not buying that the owners weren't told it was a bad idea.
I wonder if it will go the way of cricket, where the boards have had to compromise and work with the more rich breakaway groups to allow players the riches they could provide? The differences are; Cricket's revolution was about individual players, not clubs Cricket's transformation enabled star players to receive a very good reward, which they hadn't previously. the game of cricket was unsustainable without the revolution. I see the administrators of the 'super duper' league are already stating the games won't last 90 minutes, so there's no doubt that they will tinker with the actual game. How then can players from the super league then represent England? No doubt players wages in the super league will rise yet again, compared to the 'sky' league. It's a mess, and I get the feeling the repulsive mega rich will have to work with the even more repulsive and mega richer. Certainly, the traditional football fan will be the losers yet again.
Jordan Henderson has called an emergency meeting of Premier League club captains to discuss a response to the ESL. Quite brave considering he's the captain of one of the six.
Having listened to James Milner last night after the Liverpool game it was quite obvious that he together with the majority of players don't agree .. he spoke very well and made it quite clear about his opinions.
Exept we're not called 'Hull Tigers' or 'Hull City Tigers' are we. Fans can stop this happening and I believe they will.
Seems the only people that want it to happen are the fat cats at the helm of these clubs .. greedy set of barstewards .. Jurgen first then Pep .. Olly the mouse hasn't raised his head above the parapet yet though has he ?
