Fair play to Bamford. 

One of the biggest issues in this is that UEFA are being portrayed as the good guys which couldn't be further from the truth. They are culpable in their own right for this debacle through the years of their own greed, corruption and lack of morality. 

Yesterday when this was coming out, I was at least open to the ideas and the main reason would have been the potential to break the monopoly that UEFA hold over European football. 

Now I'm leaning the other way. I wouldn't be necessarily against a breakaway league of some form because I think in time it would potentially bring in more clubs and grow independent of UEFA who have done so little to hold faith in. However, the closed shop setup is farcical and like others, I'd be quite frankly pissed off missing out on potentially winning the FA Cup and Champions League this season if we were excluded from them. More so for the players and Tuchel who have earned these chances from hard work and from the looks of things are being thrown under the bus.

And how the fcuk does a club who haven't won the English league since the days when The Beatles were playing the Cavern Club, qualify for this so called Super League?

I think Spurs got in after some others rejected. This was first plan:

Neville has worked on Sky for a decade and been defending Man.United's owners for even longer, he's complicit in this not a victim.

Hes hardly complicit in the owners of Man U founding a Super League !

Some positives are that we aren't going to see Premier League refs like Mike Dean again. As well as teams like Manchester United getting decisions week in week out. It will be interesting to see United without any VAR assistance in the ESL😂

On a serious note though, this thing is going through and we should be happy that we witnessed what true football was like.

He's been defending them for years, if he found his balls/'morals' sooner he could have got them out (if he was vocal in his discontent of the Glazers many would have followed suit) and therefore cutting out a key player to creating this (Joel Glazer will be vice chairman to this super league). Where was his 'morals' when his employers were charging fans £15 to watch games in the middle of the pandemic?

This movement is largely a reaction to greed from many parties one of which Neville has happily took a wage from for the past decade, he is (alongside many others in the public eye jumping on their highhorse) an accessory as far I'm concerned.

I don't remember everything he's said about the Glazers but it still doesn't mean he's wrong in the case and nothing in the past was as bad as this.
