milka 3,394 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Been told six English clubs still unified in their desire to join Super League despite all the opposition and criticism. https://bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/56812305?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=607ea9280b5e0102e3fc5e68%26%27Big%20six%27%20still%20unified%20in%20their%20position%262021-04-20T10%3A25%3A28.166Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:5bed33bd-34b4-4eaa-8b00-fbd13b3d031e&pinned_post_asset_id=607ea9280b5e0102e3fc5e68&pinned_post_type=share… via @BBCSport There are lots of rumours swirling around just now in addition to all the strong statements and stated positions against the planned European Super League. But I have just spoken to someone who is close to the clubs concerned and they were adamant there is no weakening of resolve within the six English clubs who have signed up to ESL. In their view, the plans have been thought through and will benefit the game as a whole. The clubs are waiting for the storm to die down.

This "reform" makes us have to play more games, and it's more greed for UEFA and its TV sponsors. I hate to choose the between the two evils. I really do. Yes, the top teams need to be playing fewer games, not more of the feckers. I'd make the League Cup for teams not playing Euro football, with the winners being given a spot in the Europa League, making it a trophy worth competing for.

Can’t believe no none calculated that backlash They knew full well that no promotion would kick up a shitstorm, which all makes it very fishy to me.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The 15 “founding clubs” of the Super League would share 32.5 per cent of these commercial revenues. A further 32.5 per cent would be distributed between all 20 participating teams, including the five sides invited to play in the competition each year. Twenty per cent of revenues would be allocated on “merit” or be dependent on performance in the competition. The final 15 per cent would be shared based on broadcast audience size. The competition winner would receive just 1.5 times more than the bottom side. By comparison, that ratio in Spain’s La Liga is closer to 3.5 times. Clubs will be also allowed to retain all revenues from gate receipts and club sponsorship deals. Super League clubs have committed to using only 55 per cent of their revenues on “sport spending”, such as player salaries, transfer and agent fees, according to people familiar with the terms. Super League clubs have also signed up to a “tax equalisation” clause so that “income tax on salaries shall be normalised and calculated at a rate of 45 per cent”, according to people with direct knowledge of the contracts.

Don’t think it’ll happen and we’ll see the first of probably several of the clubs putting out apologies today or within this week. I know it’s almost universally hated but I would actually be kind of disappointed if it collapses. I’ve been enjoying the chaos first of all, and second of all I like the idea of massive heavyweight matches throughout the season more frequently. Within 6 months they won't even seen as heavyweight they'll be normal Vytis33 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
