This would spell the end for UEFA rather than the premier league

Also won’t be long that these games are staged in the Middle East rather than European soil.

UEFA will fight tooth and nail to kill this as it kills its club tournaments but will be interesting to see where it leaves international football though

Tend to agree mate too good an opportunity for the oil states to pass up. Wouldnt be surprised if the investment leads back or ultimately will lead back there.

Also agree on Uefa, if you really study and know your football, most will know we are living through a unique time of a cold/civil war of power plays between Uefa and FIFA, for club football, this is the clubs answer, it’s very interesting.

Personally I’m fed up with the PL in terms of sporting integrity holistically, but maybe something else will just be as rotten.

Probably the best thing that could happen to the game, would be somehow money not being a factor, unlikely though, greed is going to kill it.

FB92 said weeks ago that this is what would happen (and has proven both his wisdom and finely tuned business acumen to be once again correct). Barca and R.Madrid need to get the ESL plans off the ground but as most of the elite clubs have refused they will initially seek the older "big" clubs who no longer dine at the top of the table but who are credible enough in size to get tings off the ground.

Of course the end game would be to entice the scab 6, Bayern, PSG etc. to join by showering the smaller sides with money in which the big 6 etc. Would fear losing out on a big slice of the pie.

I was correct in my assessment that EFC should be banging on Perez's door and putting our name forward providing guarantees of revenue akin to that of CL qualification are met.

"Scab 6" and then says this bs at the end. Laughable.

lets hope he gets the full journalist treatment and comes out in 'stages'

I can't believe that the team of barristers have not given any feedback to the club.

It's the judges who dilberate on the case with each other then write the report on the verdict .....My top barrister shook my as the pig of the judge summed up the case & spoke to me quietly it's a big win for us- did you hear that I'm a recorder trainee judge .....it took ten weeks for the verdict to be read out by that judge ......
They just guess the verdict on. how the case went ....

That's exactly the scenario I've predicted. The longer they leave the announcement the bigger the fume. (Always assuming we get points back)
If I'm honest I'd reluctantly accept points that simply put us in front of Luton that include their game in hand. In other words five points.

would be only hope

The ESL is a replacement for the UEFA competitions, not the league. Would be utter madness to sign up to it.

Fair enough. Do you think we should just meekly accept our fate and know our place? Not being arsey, genuine question.

Have you just referred to yourself in the third person twice, one of which you've abbreviated your name? lol lol

If these lawyers are as good as they're supposed to be, I'll be looking for our 10 points back plus another 5 as an apology for messing us about

Whole game is heading the way of the NFL. All about money. Current cheapest ticket for the Stupid Super Bowl is $6,640. the nearest airport to the stadium is full of private jets. All the ordinary fans will be at home watching the obscenely expensive ads get interrupted by a few moments of actual game play! time out!!! Blah blah blah!

And no jeopardy no relegation etc.

At least they have a draft and salary caps.

Which in fairness does give everyone a chance on merit and skill like the Patriots or Chiefs.

Would be amazed if SA is not behind it. Its the same M O as they used for the LIV golf ️.

Paid big money to mostly golfers outside the top 150 and mega money to a few big names, then slowly chipped away until they own the whole game more or less.

Suspect the same mate, while they also have built up stakes in prominent European club around the leagues for a number of years.

Will come a tipping point for the PL if it works if other teams are making more/additional money.

If it works - it’s all basically a fight for European club football, UEFA have it, FIFA want it, but so do the clubs. Wouldn't rule out FIFA endorsing it and becoming like the FA to the PL and they share the cash.

Football is the new cold war, US funds buying clubs, Arab states buying leagues and governing bodies.
