The 14 Premier League teams who haven’t joined the European Super League will meet on Tuesday in an emergency meeting to discuss the latest development.
England’s top six teams and three each from Spain and Italy have formed the new competition to rival the Champions League.
It promises more cash for the participants who feel they deserve more money because of the value they bring into the game.
Their decision to break away from the competition has been seen as a mutiny and they are facing a backlash.
The Premier League, UEFA and FIFA are all against the idea and they are prepared to make sure the teams don’t succeed in this.
The rest of the Premier League have been shocked by the latest developments with Mail Sport reporting they will meet tomorrow to address the issue.
While the teams closer to the relegation zone are only interested in remaining in the Premier League, the likes of Everton and Aston Villa are reported to be very angry by the developments.
The report says they have the budget to play in Europe and they expect to be given a fair chance to win a Champions League place after investing so much money in their respective teams.
I’m not in favour of this new Super League but can see why my team Arsenal had no choice but to join the new, set up One thing I will say to supporters, of other clubs Everton Villa etc if their clubs had been invited to join the new league would their owners have refused I doubt it As for players not being able to. Play for their countries most players are money driven and for the vast majority of fans club success always comes first before their country’s national side
Do you know if Everton West ham or whoever were invited?
Sorry but a ban on playing for your country won’t happen. To ban a player from representing his country because of a decision his employer makes is, amongst other things descrimination and a restriction of trade – akin to Bosman in reverse. We have come a long way since Packer and national bodies have to be very careful. Interesting idea though – imagine the England team!
YES AND OBVIOUSLY TRUE!
BUT ACADEMIC ANYWAY, SINCE NEITHER A PLAYER BAN, NOR THIS SUPER LEAGUE WILL HAPPEN.
IN A THEORETICAL SITUATION THAT A PLAYER WAS BANNED FROM PLAYING FOR HIS COUNTRY, HE WOULD HAVE IT OVERTURNED EASILY IN A COURT OF LAW..
Why are we playing this year for League Champions, top 4, EL cup qualifying for CL, EL qualifying. There is no need, we are in the super league, dont need to win it, dont need to worry about relegation, dont need to worry about winning or losing, we will get 350 mil euros each year for just turning up. Great concept!
Who cares about the other clubs when arsenal is among the super 12
Not you obviously.
Who cares? Only decent fans care , which is why YOU do not, young boy! Now get to bed, its late and you have school tomorrow !
They will have to protect themselves as the Superclubs are doing.. UEFA can stand players on big deals right so they should stand teams on same type of deals..
The monster is here already..
