Great opportunity in my opinion. Our stadium would be one of the best in the league, and we can attract better players who want to play for their country.

'Course, but saddled with payments and a decrease in TV Money would have me a bit concerned. Obvs all hypothetical atm.
 
Ah, the ‘fierce rivals’ Man Utd and Liverpool buddying up again.

Even if this plan falls flat on its arse (again), then every single one of them six clubs should be docked points next season for actively trying to sabotage the Premier League.

Also, have to laugh at the idea of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Spurs being thought of as super clubs.

TBF I am not - all those oligarch clubs know that whilst its possible to buy success, having to buy success repeatedly is beyond even their means. The PL is too competitive, with too much risk of your club having a bad year and requiring several hundred million just to get back into the CL places (or not, as Arsenal know).

The club I am surprised at having anything to do with this are Real (Barca at least have the excuse that they've been destroyed by the previous regime and need the money) - they, like Bayern, exist in a league which as close to guarantees them CL football without repeated massive investment as its possible to get.

Despite that, they will bin that off, and binoff the FA they pretty much run for a league in which they'll be outvoted by the English on everything and a genuine possibility of them winning nothing every year.

Perhaps its a ploy to undermine the others and the sky project

True. But this is about money. And Spurs make money. And generate money. There is a lot of naiveté about this plan in this thread. To repeat, I am against it completely. But I haven't got my head in the sand. Football has been about money since 1992 and the start of the CL. This idea is merely the culmination of the path football has been on for decades.

It's only inevitable if people are willing to accept that a small nucleus of clubs reserve the right to be successful every season and cannot be challenged. The fact Spurs are involved in this is farcical as they are anything but winners, but it is also an indictment on all the clubs involved.

This idea is unsustainable because those involved in it do not understand English football. I think it is almost guaranteed to flop and football in England will recover in time. Yes it will hurt us very badly in the short term, but I'd rather that than join a boring, dull, repetitive, uncompetitive, closed shop league which is inaccessible to core fanbases and based on stopping other clubs competing.

Imagine the players though?

"Im an elite player as im one of the best out of 3 italian sides, 3 spanish sides and 6 english sides"

Meanwhile everywhere else you have players enjoying domestic and foreign leagues and cups along with internationals.




American owned :)

Im genuinely amazed that City walked into this PR disaster though.

One of City’s owners is key desires is creating the image that they are a big club, they need to be included to deliver that
