    Well one way to make people stop hating the Super League is to tell people it will hurt the English.

    First thing : that looks like a bullshit argument. He uses wealth gap as an excuse but anyone who genuinely is concerned about wealth gap won’t think of a Super League as a solution.

    Second thing : Is it not the purpose of rules like financial fair-play to prevent those kind of thing to happen ? If it doesn’t work, so do better rules.

    I love how the super league narrative has moved to an anti-premier league one, while half of the original super League member where super league clubs

      Yes? That’s his point. Remove the oil/billionaire owned clubs and the playing field becomes more even in Europe.

        It does but it also highlights how Atletico/Barça/Real Madrid are the activists for Atletico/Barça/Real Madrid, not La Liga

    that only works when the super league plays without english clubs and without english clubs its not really a “super league”, is it?

    so, nothing will change with or without that league, besides all the usual big clubs getting richer and the gap between them and 99% of the rest of europe’s football clubs is getting bigger.

    The super league was always about taking away some of the cash away from the English league.

    Was surprised the English clubs were so keen for it initially.

    I guess to be the president of Atleti you have to completely ignore the Galaticos era of Spanish football…

    Honestly though, was this guy in a coma from 2013-2018? What an absurd statement

    Why is it every time these fucks talk about the PL nicking all of the best players they never talk about Real and Barca having many of the best players in the world for the past 15 year. Look a bit closer to home pal.

      He’s just greedy and wants Super League money. It’s not some diabolical plan to attack England. Chill.

    As opposed to the Madrids taking all the best players from Spain back in the glory days? Nobody wins today except big money and they are just sore that their money isn’t big enough anymore.

    Lie down with dogs- you get fleas.
