New Super League

[johnny crossan]

That's it then, the ESL is officially sinful.

What does my head in is the way they communicated this, all of them.

How can the best clubs in the world would have a PR strategy as shit as this one is beyond me. Post some shit, then go into the cave, no reply, nothing, no explanation.

I swear, imagine a PR Conference with all of them explaining point by point the reasons behind this, exposing UEFA and FIFA and offering details about this Super League and how is the future of football (or how they see it this way).

This is a shit show that I am 100% convinced Glazer started

Not only did they "post some shit", the wording was a cut and paste replica of the one released by Chelsea (with a small amount added at the end by City) - I presume the statements released by all 12 were more or less identical too. The timing stinks of opportunism, and using a Pandemic as an attempt to justify greed and self interest.

Exactly.
I work in PR, I am perplexed by how this is handled and I imagine they have firms/staffs that are the best in the business.
Like Nige pointed above, they communicated so bad they made UEFA look good.

Remember when we got in to Europe via Fair Play. Were any of us bothered that we didn’t actually deserve to be in Europe and we’d only got in because we received less yellow cards than everyone else?

[dick dastardley]

The timing of this is perfect for these ESL clubs, no fans in stadiums which means we cant vent our voices at them. fucking cunts the lot of them

Pep presser coming up at 1.30 pm

He already gave his statement on this issue a year or 2 back so anything different to that will make him look a right TiT .

I don’t under the hysteria by other fans. BBC news then showed a Burnley fan that had travelled to Leeds last night to protest. Why would it effect her shitty little club if the proposal is we still play in the Prem?

Because its morally wrong.

The CL is morally wrong. This bird was going on like it will end English football. Absolutely hysterical!

[City64]

Pep ......
“I don’t know the full details “
“This is not a sport (ESL)”
“ I have to do my job but I need clarification as soon as possible “

[City64]

Pep ........
“They have to make a statement as soon as possible to clarify the situation “
“Right now everyone is looking after themselves “

Exactly Mase, and it became so on the day the old European Cup was scrapped so for UEFA to try to take any moral high ground is nauseating

Pep speaking well and had a dig at uefa

We did deserve to be in Europe because the qualification criteria was clear and unambiguous before the qualification started. We were then the team that fulfilled the Fair play criteria.
My biggest issue with the ESL is that there is no promotion or relegation for the founder members. So a league of 20 teams but 15 don't have to worry about on field results as their place at the top table is guaranteed. How is that even classified as sport?
