Agreed. One of my least favourite players but favourite pundits. Honest and says it as it is.
I'm close to binning football as can't stand the cheating and greed.

How did Sky start a European Super League breakaway ?

He is right - but he is also saying it on the channel that helped start all this off 30 years ago , he also benefitted from the money monsters that both the Prem League and UEFA created and right now both are worried that they are being kicked off the gravy train
If it went ahead Sky would be balls deep in it bidding billions for exclusive rights etc and people like Neville , Carragher etc would still commentate and provide the pundits etc
Football stopped being about the fans a long time ago

Every time you think it can t get worse they take it another step, sadly applies to far too much of society today not just football

Sky helped created the Premier League breakaway from the Football League and then UEFA jumped on that wagon with the CL - at some point this was always going to happen and the clubs know that they unfortunately carry the money cards
Not one fan will want this but they stopped caring about that years ago

The Super League is just talk to make sure the CL revamp gets the green light. A sinister threat is often good to make people tow the line and this strikes me as that, especially with the timing. If it's not then the clubs involved should be removed from every domestic competition and their players banned from international football. The fans of each club should boycot all merch, tickets and broadcastors that show the new Super League. It won't be long before they come crawling back.

Im in disbelief about it all really. If it happens I'd deduct all the points from the 6 clubs, make West Ham or Leicester champions.

I'd be very surprised if Neville continued in his punditry role for Sky if this does go ahead, very surprised.

If it happens theres no points deduction to be discussed, they all get thrown out for good!!!
Far more likely they just continue to get a bigger say in how Champs League and Prem League etc are run and it serves its purposes for their greed again

I don’t Think they can deduct points etc - hard to see on what grounds when this league is supposed to challenge the Champions League as opposed to the Prem - clubs would take them to court
It’s very hard to see many people will morals within the sport these days - it wasn’t long ago that sky wanted to get PPV etc during a pandemic - Neville was quiet then

Unfortunately that’s the sad reality of it all - the clubs know they hold the power

It's written in to the contracts that clubs can't play in any competition without the agreement of the PL. If a club chooses to join a new European League without permission they can be kicked out of the league, which is the same effect as deducting all their points.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
I have a shed load to say on the super league. But this is the prem league thread so can someone start a super league thread.

Can we really see the Prem doing anything to the main “bread winners” as such - the Premier League manage to sell the rights to broadcast the league worldwide because of those big clubs that have the worldwide fanbase - shocking as it is , they hold the power and drive the gravy train , every fan hates it but unless we all stop buying tickets and subscriptions then it’s going to continue
It affects the premier league so use this as opposed to spreading to multiple threads

Looking forward to the “Big 6” leaving the PL and when it collapses offer them the only route back in being via starting again at the Non-League level.
I have no idea if this is a ploy for leverage or genuine. From my own perspective I have no interest in European football and if a group of 6 from the PL clear off I genuinely won't care. It will mean less tv money for Everton but we will simply realign our spending and get on. 6 teams will come up and I will be happy watching those teams.
The media will squeal and hyperventilate but I doubt most fans of those remaining will care much.

It’s the regular stand off between the clubs and UEFA as they announce the changes to the CL which are also a step towards a closed competition or at the very least protection for those “big clubs” within the CL
If it did go ahead and those clubs did leave or get kicked out of the Prem League - the affects on the other teams would be huge. The drop in money from television rights would greatly affect all clubs ability to pay big wages - it would become an extension of the championship. The best players would jump to teams within whatever league is created , and there are areas around the world that would lap up seeing the big clubs play week in week out against each other - especially the Middle East , Far East and the US. But it would cause big damage to the domestic games. And unfortunatly there will always be a big company out there willing to back these things and media groups happy to buy the rights.
I just hope it never becomes a reality

If it goes ahead the only fair thing to do would be to award whoever finished 7th last season the title.
