Superleague Part III: Collapsed

[Scandale du Jour]

Not a single team is bigger than the sum of the others.

In Europe? True.

Internationally. Not so sure. Do you think international TV partners would be happy to lose the TWO biggest draws? No.

Short term, it would hurt. Long term, no.

 

[Evilo]

International fans will quickly forget Real and Barca to jump on the City, PSG, Bayern, Chelsea or United bandwagons.

UEFA wouldn't be hurt by any team ban. Now if they were to ban the digusting 12, then yes.

International fans will quickly forget Real and Barca to jump on the City, PSG, Bayern, Chelsea or United bandwagons.

Some, but I think especially in Latin America these aren't equally attractive and have no way to be.

 

[Evilo]

PSG is loved in south America.

 

[Albatros]

PSG is followed only because of certain players it currently employs, the club itself or the French league as a whole have little relevance. It's enough for Neymar to leave for the club's prominence to collapse.

 

[Evilo]

That's the answer of someone undeducated.
PSG has always been a huge draw in Brazil since the 90s well before the Qatari.
Valdo, Raï, Leonardo, Ronaldinho, Ricardo all came through PSG because of that appeal.
Same in Argentina with Pochettino, Heinze and many others.

 

[Albatros]

Yeah, to the same extent as some Dutch or German clubs. In no way comparable to the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Or even Serie A.

 

[Evilo]

Not true.
PSG is a major club for 30+ years in South America.

Here in Quebec (very small market, not THAT many football fans):

I know a few French expats who cheer for PSG in the CL because they say it is the only way a French club can win it. Most support other clubs in Ligue 1.

I have never seen or heard of a Man City fan.

Plenty of Real, Barca, Arsenal, Man United and Liverpool fans. Few people following Bayern because of Davies.

Just leaving the statement here. Where can I read the full decision?

Which court was that, some Spanish/Italian one? I think what matters eventually will be the Luxembourg one.

I found this

A court in Madrid has ruled that the governing body’s disciplinary proceedings against the founding 12 clubs of the proposed breakaway league must be scrapped, while the case will now be assessed by European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.

Real Madrid issued a similar statement:

Haha Laporta was about to change the whole Barca picture...
Well...

I’m a temporary City fan tbh

 

[Power Man]

Not true.
PSG is a major club for 30+ years in South America.

The most Brazilian club in France

They still have the Brazilian dancers HT show?

Mahrez? Even then, how can someone be a City fan

 

[Power Man]

Mahrez? Even then, how can someone be a City fan

Yes he is the reason

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yes he is the reason

Fair enough.

These 3 clubs have always been everything that has destroyed the purity of this sport. They’re not the only ones, but they are consistently the worst.

My own team was involved in the super league for a day, and I haven’t watched them play since. I doubt I will ever feel about them as I once did. Honestly, f#ck them and f#ck all the pure money clubs for eternity.

Whether it be through legally paying for games, and definitely through merchandising, they will never see another dollar from me again.

Let's be honest, it is a fight between scumbags. UEFA and FIFA are also very corrupt organization.

At the end of the day, neither the big clubs nor the associations give a f*** about the game or about fans. It is all about the dough.

I have a strong feeling you also supported Leicester at some point too.

Oh definitely
That 15/16 season was something

FWIW while they don't represent the public, in this case, they are only acting because of the public will.
