    They would have loved to have been involved but no doubt were invited!

    Amazon are just as bad.

    Funniest outcome might be Perez thought he has this Super League bollocks sewn up but players, managers and even broadcasters all boycott it for PR clout with 'legacy fans' <laugh>

    I'm no fan of Amazon. but the more media outlets that say they're not interested the better. Doesn't do much for any bidding war there might be for coverage rights.

    The more I think about this the more it pisses me off.

    Its an attack on football at all levels but the absolute top.

    Days out watching your club and being part of something and history and this lot think they can just **** all over that and implant some gross American money system.

    ****ing hate them!

    True.

    The more isolationist it becomes the better!

    It will end up being televised on Dave six months after the games have been played, which will be fitting as the whole ****ing thing is one bad joke!

    Absolutely, the sooner the PL and Sky get back in the driving seat, the sooner we can all go back to stop having to pretend we care about the rest of the football pyramid.
    Win, win...

    They'll end up broadcasting it themselves maybe go halves with Trump and his new set up which it'll suit me so I won't get hoodwinked as part of an another package.

    Why well done? I don't disagree with any of it, but it's a self-serving statement from the club.
    Had they turned down an offer or something, then I'd agree. They're just doing what's best for them right now, though.

    I'm not. I'm also not giving out praise to ****s who are jumping on the bandwagon for their own benefit.
    She-ra can go **** himself, for example. Joined Blackburn for the cash and now money's not important? **** right off, baldy.

    The way Gary Neville and Jamie carragher have been it would surprise me if sky would welcome it.

    Just BT sports now and then you have all the major players in the UK saying no.

    Also could the UK government just block any forms of broadcasting connected to the ESL?

    Football was threatening NFL, so they've just bought football and made it their sport.

    That's how they do it you see.. A bit like when they buried the hearts of the natives at wounded knee... They don't **** about
