These people really do not understand football. They are not creating anything that a European football fan would enjoy.
Well perhaps a few.

So maybe just a ploy to soften the blow of the UEFA proposal which is due any day now.

Let them go and all play their super games with each other.

Good to see UEFA and the various national FAs calling them out.

Time for them to get tough and tell them to bugger off.

Looks as if the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 clubs (Bayern, Borrusia Dortmund, PSG, Marseilles, Lyon etc.) aren't involved.

English, Spanish and Italian clubs leading the money grabbers.

Reading these paragraphs in the Joint Statement makes me think that UEFA & Co have been expecting this sort of breakaway move and had the statement ready and waiting to go.

The unanimity expressed about chucking the greedy wankers out wasn't reached in an emergency Zoom meeting. They were ready and waiting and have rolled their tanks out.

"We will consider all measures available to us, at all levels, both judicial and sporting in order to prevent this happening. Football is based on open competitions and sporting merit; it cannot be any other way.

As previously announced by FIFA and the six Federations, the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level, and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams.".

Good of the French and German clubs not to sign up, I for one hope the so called big 6 fuck off and are kicked out of their respective leagues. With the same handful of clubs playing each other the fans would soon get bored.

I think this is their trump card played now to make sure UEFA push through the proposed new CL format.

A European Super League where 50% of the English teams haven't won the European Cup or Champions League, hopefully it'll all be shown exclusively on Disney, off you fuck then.
