markavfc40 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I just can't see how these clubs can join a super league and be allowed to remain part of the Premier League. The financial advantage they would have would be astronomical and with it being a closed shop would mean no club outside of the six chosen ones could aspire to replace them. You take away aspiration and you lose a massive part of why we all follow football. Every team outside of these 6 could only ever realistically at best finish 7th. Even if by some miracle they finish 5th/3rd or even win the league the financial reward for doing so would still pale into insignificance compared to one of these six who could finish 17th/18th or even bottom. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 it is still very quiet from the players' side. It'll be interesting to see where they stand, especially now that they are being threatened to miss out on European and World Cups. I know most fans think players just follow the money, but I think there are a lot of players who see no greater honor than to represent their country (Brazilians come to mind). Also, imagine the players coming out for their next games wearing shirts saying 'I will not play in the Super League'. What will the owners do? Fire them all? (never happening in a million years of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money talks They aren't football clubs they are profit driven multinationals .
