FIFA bricking it over a European Super League

[Woland]

I'm guessing we're part of the gang talking about setting this up... But if say the top forty clubs in Europe set up their two league system, they could set up their own international cup thingy too. Death of FIFA right there

We'd better overtake United's league wins before this monstrosity happens.

And how do they think they can punish players - employees - of clubs whose employers choose to compete in a different league? Pulisic can't play in the FIFA world cup for the US because Chelsea decides to join a breakaway league? Yeah, ok. How many countries are going to watch that happen and do nothing. Blah blah blah.

Go on loan the month prior to World cup - sorted

Wasn't FIFA trying to organize a club tournament to rival the UEFA Champions League?
Clubs must have told them to fuck off

 

[Athens]

What exactly do FIFA do that justifies their existence?

 

[Squiggles]

It's probably a decent move by FIFA all things considered. How more cards have they got left to play, though?

 

[MomoWASright]

The top European clubs wouldn’t give a flying fuck what the African, Asian and American federations have to say. If they were to be getting more money from a super league they’d do it.

 

[Halmeister]

Football is fucking finished, isn't it?

 

[tombrown]

Null & void football forever

 

[Woland]

I'd start going and watching Marine but everyone else who does is brain wronged and wants to talk about their train set

Would this mean we wouldn't have to lose to Southampton and Burnley anymore?

Also having the Ronaldos etc not participating in the World cup would hurt the competition more than the individuals, dumb ass passive aggressive move from the douchebags running football

How do FIFA sell the worlds biggest, best and most prestigious tournament if the best players aren't there? You may as well watch the Olympic football matches.

The best players and biggest teams will be raking it in and having the summer off along with no players flying off for shitty international qualifiers in Albania or Kazakhstan every month or so. It's a win, win.

If I was a club I'd be signing up now.

UEFA and FIFA's threats to BAN players who play in £4.6 billion European Super League suffers a huge blow as European courts rule it is illegal for sports' governing bodies to stop clubs and players joining rival competitions

[article]However, two European courts have now passed judgements overturning similar moves by other sporting federations, making the threat by football's governing bodies appear hollow.

'With these judgements the position of clubs and players has improved because it puts them on a more equal footing with the governing bodies,' said Mark Orth, of MEOlaw based in Munich.

'UEFA and FIFA's position in opposition to a European Super League has been weakened by these judgements.'[/article]
