How the fuck can the bin dippers be involved in any sort of 'Super League'? we've got more right to be there at the moment than those twats! How many times have we finished above Liverpool in the last 3 seasons? How many cup finals have we been to in the last 3 seasons? But I totally disagree with the concept. Should be called "The Losers League". AC Milan haven't qualified since 2013, so they will be included? Poor dears, I wonder what they would be like if they had won one League Cup in 150 years of trying! You understand the point I'm making. We are neck and neck with them season after season now despite them investing far more and supposedly being one of the dominant forces of English and European football. We should've been in a cup final last weekend but got robbed in a semi-final against Liverpool. If Liverpool deserve to be in this Super League then so do Spurs, Leicester, Stoke, West Ham and Southampton.

They should just abandon playing football matches altogether and compete in a new "Global Revenue League". Each week teams have a different "fixture" which is based not on scoring more goals in a football match than your opponents, but on sales of shirts and official merchandise in various "grounds" (shopping malls) around the world. So Fixture 8 might be Liverpool vs Bayern Munich in Indonesia, ManU vs Barcelona in China, Real vs Milan in Brazil etc. The players would not be playing football but operating in giant malls in the capitals of the country where they are "playing" to encourage the "match-going public" (people out shopping) to enter official shops and purchase merchandise. Managers, along with picking their best commercial "team" for the fixture - you'll want Agüero or Alexis fit to start in South America, maybe rest the black players for trips to Russia - would also make tactical decisions during the "game" - double mark the doubting browser who's perusing the store-brand bargain bucket, throw in a flash mob marketing campaign to counter the post-lunch dip in sales, maybe a surprise product launch early doors to catch the opposition off guard. This would be televised on giant screens around the world along with a ticker showing each club's second-by-second dollar turnover, with crowds ooh-ing and aah-ing as Wayne Rooney shows his commercial skill to deftly guide a consumer towards the checkout, or Neymar uses his renowned "guilt-trip" trick to shame an uncertain father into getting his kid the Barcelona third shirt. Chants such as "you're not selling any more," "let's all make a profit," and "$24 million - $8.5 million, and you fucked it up" would become commonplace among the rapt crowds around the globe. The teams winning the league would be rewarded not with trophies, but with exclusive new branding opportunities in areas of the world as-yet untouched by modern economics and civilisation, like the densely-forested peninsulae of West Papua, and central Burslem. It's the Utopian future of the game as we know it. I can't wait.
Absolutely brilliant !!!!! hats off

This is abhorrent.
It has nothing to do with footballing merit only how many gloryhunting fuckwit parasites support you. I've said it for years that glorryhunters are the cancer of our game and they will destroy it.

Is it me or are only the "Other Clubs" in the premiership the only ones who give a shit as lower league teams have zero chance to be in Europe anyway.
When does football stop being a sport and start becoming an entertainment show is my question?
Sky are now going to be the only place to watch Grand Prix, how long before they do the same with Football, especially the Prem and CL, oh and this new American backed shit that we don't need.

It's strange that over ten years ago I said that in the near future the main football league would be a European League, that there would then be a Premier League 1 and 2 and that the other leagues would then be semi professional. Looks like I am getting there, unfortunately !!!!

What utter tosh. The Prem draws in so much money because of how open and entertaining it is. If they left the Prem would still be the place to see. The "super league" would fail like a Sinclair C5.
