European Super League.

This is basically a pissing contest now between the ESL clubs and UEFA/FIFA.

Does UEFA have any leverage at all here? They can threaten to ban the players from national teams, but that will undermine pretty much the only source of revenue they'll have left.

The FAs of each country really need to take the hardline approach here and kick all 12 clubs out of their respective leagues.

These clubs, in spite of their reach and prestige are not vital to the survival and thriving of football as a sport, in spite of their press release which is so far up it's own fucking arse it almost enters the realm of parody.

Football as a sport will always have a fan base, will always attract paying fans and will find it's way - ultimately, it will likely find a better way in the long-term without such horrendous levels of greed piercing through the game.

They just gave this a proper kicking on MOTD2

So who do we think the other 3 founding teams are?

I suspect the obvious three would be Paris St Germain, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. I'm guessing the draft documents assumed they'd be on board, but they knocked the proposal back, leaving twelve. Maybe they'll find another three to put in instead.

This is hilarious.

One of them to end up applying for the EoSL by mistake and then wondering why they have to play Jeanfield Swifts instead of Juventus imo
