The more I see of this Super League, I dont think it will be better than what we currently have,

I wonder if the Uefa lawyers have found out they cannot remove the current teams? Would be good news for us. https://www.espn.com/soccer/uefa-champions-league/story/4365074/champions-league-semis-with-european-super-league-rebels-to-go-ahead-sources

As someone who does not watch NBA anymore, it is largely due to only a handful of teams having the best players. Who wants to watch a entire season when you can name the teams that will be there at the end.

We play today. We can go into 3rd place. If we are sanctioned for this Super League fiasco, the least we can do is be a top club when all this shakes down.

I have a lot of respect for how Tuchel handled today’s press conference.

It's going to be Yuuuge, on the best teams, and the best players, playing in only the best stadiums. Trump owned a USFL team.

This Liverpool game is not really entertaining with nothing on the line.

I am not comparing them as the same. Just asking if there was resistance to the change.

Was there any resistance when the Premier League was initially formed?

I think Dortmund, Porto, and RB Leipzig will be advanced to the semi finals

I am reading the Sports Minister is saying a fan buy out is a possibility. Anyone know exactly how such a thing could happen? Honestly, I think it would be great if the fan's owned the clubs, just don't see how that is possible or how such a thing could be run?

Rest of the season is ESL preseason! It pains me to joke about it, but it masks my frustration.

It looks like Jose was going to be sacked before he knew anything about the Super League. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/19/sports/soccer/tottenham-hotspur-jose-mourinho-sacked.html

Thank you

Was Tuchel asked about in his Brighton press conference? Cant watch for another hour.

Jose was getting sacked regardless.

If Jose spins this that he fell on his sword over disagreeing about the Super League, another master class PR move for himself.

Spuds will be screwed if they dont get Super League money. Jose is due a fat check.

How will this effect our current CL run?

I will still be a Chelsea fan, still love the game, but I hope the lower leagues don't get screwed.

It is a money grab. I am all for clubs maximizing their income. I think it is wrong that they will do this at the expense of other PL teams and pretty much destroy lower league teams. It is even more of a shit thing to do when lower league teams have no gate funding to create income. The whole purpose of a league is create a competition where everyone is sustainable as long as they can manage their funds properly. Your league is only as healthy as your lowest teams. This is a real shit move and I wish Chelsea was not a part of it.
