Paid Members Jazzy G Posted April 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 20, 2021 Wow, given the German ownership models that'd fly right in the face of the whole association. I've just tried to figure out the new format for the Champions League and that conference league Cup thing. I think I'd have better chance understanding how Goldenballs works.

Mr_Danger Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I reckon Rangers and Celtic are in with a shout. Have any of the hero’s at Sky Sports acknowledged the hypocrisy of themselves? I imagine discussing the topic on a Monday night game from their expensive subscription service would be hard to do with a straight face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emphasis on the super part of the super league. I saw something, might have even been on this thread, that if the clubs are based on fan base as opposed to success, then Schalke and West Ham will be 2 of the 3 invited, and judging by West Ham fans comments they'll be more than happy as all they are moaning about is Spurs being in it. The third might have been Celtic, if not third, then they were definitely 4th on the list I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's €3.5 billion which equates to about €291 million each (based on 12 teams). No wonder they want to sign up, and who can blame a businessman for trying to make as much money as possible? It's not right but these people own the club and can really do whatever they want with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered whether it might be Wolves trying to establish themselves as "a big club". I wouldn't have ruled out Rangers and/or Celtic either. Especially as it'd save them having to slum it through the qualifying. It's not as if the gulf between those two and the rest of the Scottish league could really get much bigger, is it?

Guy Bifkin Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 No, apparently Wolves posted 20 million profit in June 2020. Chelsea's numbers in that graph are anomalous too. That's the year we sold Hazard and were banned from buying anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a fan of his nonsense ever since he described Charlie Adam as a “bag of carrots” that time. Should have known he was a bus worshipper. He's from Bristol so he only sees a bus three days every Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third might have been Celtic, if not third, then they were definitely 4th on the list I saw. on the West Ham FB groups I am on the view is of the majority that we don't want any part of it. The fanbase of a West Ham or Wolves vs a Chelsea or Man U are polar opposites because the majority of fans are actually local and don't change with the wind. The view of Spurs being considered as being among the "Super Clubs" is causing laughter rather then jealousy. TFTM nailed it yesterday in the below quote. 13 hours ago, Hannibal Scorch said: In a rare episode of Top Flight Time Machine where they discussed football, Andy Dawson summed it up best when he said Spurs being in this was the funniest thing. It reminded him of a family film where a dog sneaks on to a space ship before it takes off and they wonder how he got onto the space ship. Brutal yet true.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted April 20, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Picking through Guardiola's press conference, it's becoming increasingly obvious just how closeted the Premier League is and how quick those who become a part of it buy into this little Englander mentality. Harping on about how sport without competition isn't sport while managing a club that was nothing until the oil billions came along. He wouldn't be there and City would be another club making an hilarious meme about it on their Twitter account without said money. Meanwhile, Harry Maguire's apparently had words with Ed Woodward so the ESL is bound to succeed now.
