Aye. But here's the thing - if the rest of them can get enough momentum behind the Super League again, then these teams will just jump back in.

"The State of Sports Apps Report from the mobile app marketing intelligence company placed DAZN top of its rankings for the first half of 2019, up one place on last year.

Disney-owned sports media company ESPN saw its app rise five places to come second on the list. Last year’s number one, Major League Baseball’s (MLB) At Bat app, dropped to third."

Genuinely interested in this. How much revenue does a supermarket take?

I don't think the claim will be accurate anymore.  

I remember reading it about twenty years ago.  It was when the EPL and the CL were still young.  They'd already destructively impacted on the game, but it was before the International TV rights went nuts.  

It was true then that a single big Tesco store would generate similar turnover to even a big club like Manchester United.  It won't be the case now though.

But seriously though, the only way of stopping this is the Government following through on the 50%+1 reform they were talking about. If it all falls apart this early, then they won't.

This idea will just come back in 18 months time, except this time the Yanks will know what they're up against.

And UEFA's proposal, sadly, isn't much better.

Barca fans won't like Florentino being vocal about this.

I'll actually be a wee bit disappointed if this is called off before an army of Scousers get the chance to descend on Anfield. Barcelona is always good for a riot as well and Lazio and Napoli fans were probably buying new weapons especially for their next game vs Juve.

This is one of the most controversial points for me.

The 6 English sides will all have an additional foot-up of at least £200m to spend per season on every other club in the league and there's nothing the others can do about it whatsoever. So barring a colossal f**k-up, in addition to their guaranteed revenue, they will also hoover up all the cash from the top 6 league positions every single season without fail. It basically nullifies any threat of a team like Leicester, Wolves or West Ham ever so much as entertaining the notion of breaking them up again.

A  bit like what the Champions' League has done to our game.

wait but haven't loads of senior figures resigned from Uefa over this (that were also in positions at ESL clubs)? take it they're just going to be allowed to reverse it or will they be told to f**k off?

Was only a couple of them who were the European Clubs Association representatives, and they've already been replaced.

Did you hear what he said a minute ago?  "We'll just create a new Man City". Wow, the arrogance is astonishing, though a cheeky element of truth in it.
