I'm of the opinion, that the sooner they join their own elite league the better. The top clubs are busy scheming to make more and more money all the time, it won't stop. Staying and trying to make things more and more unfair and more uncompetitive, is not what anyone wants. They need to go and leave us to it and we get proper football back with proper fans.

Totally agree too, but they ‘the so called big 6’ want their super duper league and also the premier league be use they know there is no guaranteed sustainability to their new league whilst the English pyramid has been going and is still thriving after some 130 plus years. There’s a quick rich plan whereas our game, not theirs, is for everyone.

Some bollocks needs to be grown by the football authorities and the government to let them go on OUR terms and throw the kitchen sink at what is left. Football will carry on but I’d give it a few years before the galaxy league or whatever shite they call it starts to wain.

Who I do feel sorry for is the fans of the big six who havent bought into the modern way, who remember when it used to be competitive and it meant meeting your mates for a beer and not be surrounded by the new age fan and tourists.

Contary to beleif they do exist at the big six clubs and they have really had their clubs stolen from them

Completely agree but they are few and far between these days. Even the Liverpool fans I know who were kicking off about the ESL don’t say a peep about the changes to the champions league qualifying format as they don’t want to miss out.

There are far more old school fans about than you would think, Liverpool & United have a lot I have found, Man City though seemed to have embraced being rich fairly easily as have Chelsea fans

With the exception of Liverpool, haven’t all of the so called big six experienced down turns in the past 30 years? Their fans probably enjoyed the highs all the more as they had at least had some lows.

I’m not surprised that supporter groups are coming out against this.

So why did a lot of football fans get so up in arms when this was about to happen and stopped it?

Wasn’t it mainly fans of the big six that were kicking off?

I genuinely don’t know of a fan of any other club that couldn’t have given a fook if they went.

I think it was something to do with those top 6 clubs wanting to remain part of the PL (whilst putting all their efforts and money into the super league), which would have lead to them playing reserves in the PL and undermining the competition.

If the top 6 clubs make a clean break and f off to their super league, I think we would all be happy, apart from ofcourse the few true fans of those clubs who actually live in their own city and aren't plastic tourists. The plastic tourists would love sitting in front of the TV watching these top clubs across europe play each other regularly and we would have a proper football competition to play in with proper fans.

Definitely - and the same fans then spent the pre season bemoaning the fact that their teams didn’t sign the likes of Mbappe for £150 million and then welcoming before moaning about signing the likes of Christiano Ronaldo and Lukaku on 300k a week or whatever they’re on.

The irony klaxon of your top 6 supporter is well and truly broken.

I can see a future 'European Gold League' for all of Europe's top clubs... followed a few years later by the 'European Silver league' for the 'not quite good enough to £make£ it into the Gold League'... your Spurs, Arsenal, Newcastle, Feyenoord, Lazio, Roma, Valencia, etc.

Yeah well hopefully that happens, but even then we need to make a fan lead board/some sort of rules to prevent there from being a new “top 6” as it’d only be a meter of time until some new teams start spending big and getting too far ahead, so that the league will stay at a level playing field

You say that, but it’s only because some of those “fans” (many of which aren’t even fans as they’re just typical glory hunters) are worried that if they join a super league, they won’t be necessarily winning every week, and it’ll be a lot harder to win stuff, whilst being in the prem, they’ve always got a great chance.

Spot on there, but unfortunately those fans are dying out for the big teams, as it’s the same for us and St Mary’s, as the real fans can’t afford to get tickets. But at least our fans can go to the odd game, both big and small, if they can get the money, whilst those big teams fans can’t always afford to go, so can’t go to many games whatsoever due to all those tourist fans taking their seats, especially for the big games.

If there are fans who “can’t always afford to go” why don’t they “just save up”???

Well they can’t “always” go, and even then, there won’t be much point in saving up to go to a football game when mass flooding and GCC has destroyed their houses and the football stadium the game was meant to be played at 👍
