I don't quite understand your suggestion?

Expel those clubs and they will undoubtedly form this league. Ban them and their players and staff from all other football then they might think twice. The Premier League works well imo and teams can be promoted to it and relegated from it so a team like Bournemouth can aspire to play at the top level.

My point is let those clubs go and form a super league, it'll die of death.

Can you see the majority fans of those clubs wanting to buy season tickets to play in USA style super league? I can't.

If they did form a Super League it wouldn’t die a death - there will be a lot of money floating around to watch it boom , and that would include the likes of Sky , BT Sport and Amazon

And the clubs will still be in the Prem and season tickets bought for that .

Sounds like spurs have sacked Jose, rumours he refused to take the players out to train over the super league to be confirmed

Fantastic news, it’s like we’ve signed a new world record star ?????

 

[Liverbirdie]

Youd love to get Nagelsman, as an Arsenal fan Id prefer you get Parker lol

I think Levy may meet his match in Lady Penelope when it comes to negotiations.

Will they?

As there are so many armchair fans now I can’t see how the super league can fail. Rugby tried it and nearly succeeded but the back lash from fans was to great.

How big is your grin right now? If the pay off really is around £15m then it must be the cheapest ever Jose pay off. He has only cost you a squad midfielder.

I would say congrats on getting your club back but then you are one of 'The Six'

 

[Old Skier]

Will they?

Hope not, like to see them all binned with players banned from playing for their country.

Not if the PL, FA & UEFA refuse to recognise the Super League, they can’t and won’t get it all their own way.

Last night you were saying it wouldn’t happen, today it’s an “If” what’s changed?

I really hope theyre kicked out.

Its not the players fault at the moment that this has happened. Not right to punish the players like that (yet)

 

[Blue in Munich]

Is there anything in Premier League regulations that says they are obliged to take up their Champions League place if they qualify; if not, what is to stop them taking up alternative offers?

Players will have a choice, stay registered with a recognised Club or lose their registration.

 

[Orikoru]

I don't think there's any chance of the six clubs being kicked out of the Premier League. Do you think the Prem really want to devalue their product by about 90%? It's just an idle threat.

They get their own way every time because they carry what’s important to the likes of Prem , UEFA etc - the money

UEFA may well go - you can’t play in the CL and with that goes all those billions in Telly rights

The same with the Premier League - they aren’t going to kick out the teams that they know brings in the billions of overseas Telly rights

It maybe cynical but it’s hard facts - UEFA and Co helped create this monster and made it all about the money.

Governing bodies are not going to shoot themselves in the foot and the Prem League won’t kick teams out

 

[Steve Wilkes]

The Oddschecker list suggests nobody has a clue. Ryan Mason is in at 20/1! Stevie Gerrard at 18/1 - can't see that happening at all. Favourite is Nagelsmann, I don't know anything about him as I don't watch German football. Rodgers is 6/1, would like that but can't see him leaving Leicester for us, he'd be mad. Nuno and Scott Parker are both 12/1 - would take Nuno but Parker?? Surely not.

It doesn't matter who Spurs get as manager, 18 months down the line the fans will be saying it was an obvious mistake to get him the first place

 

[Old Skier]

Personally think it’s in the hands of true fans, if everyone of us pull our Sky Sport/BT/Amazon the lose of revenue will soon start to bite.

I don't like fans who are biased against certain managers because they managed rival teams or whatever, it's dumb. Hiring José seemed like a no-brainer to me, if we wanted trophies. But it obviously didn't work out. I'm not going to claim I knew it all along.

I guess this is it. If UEFA make threats to the Premier League, they will have to make the same threats to the top leagues in Spain, Italy and probably Germany and France. That then threatens the whole upper echelon of European football breaking away from UEFA. The cynic in me looks at this as the battle of the cash cows and nothing to do with fans, tradition or integrity. As far as the football hierarchy is concerned, this is all about this new league taking away UEFA's cash cows, the Champions League and the Europa League. Face it, without the top clubs, they become mickey mouse tournaments and may as well be shut down.

A bit of inconsistency there isn't it?

So throw out century old clubs for something that their own fans dont even want and sod them, but as the players dont want it, its not right to punish them.

Sort yerself out soft lad.

Germany and France have already said they won’t take part on their boards there is a strong fan input.
