The Tailgate
Menu
Liverpool FC, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, Barcelona FC. Athletico Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan are the 12 teams that have announced they are making they're own league and calling it the European Super League. This announcement has been met with unbelievable backlash and for good reason. This is a move based purely on the greed of the 12 owners of these clubs. UEFA announced that any club that joins this league will no longer be allowed to participate in any UEFA competition, which includes The Champions League and The Europa League. FIFA has said any player in this league will not be allowed to play for their respective countries in the World Cup. Fans from Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have held protests while hanging banners outside standing defiant against this decision .Fans from all over England are starting to rebel against this decision by the top 6 teams to join this league and to be honest I don't blame them one bit. Say Tottenham sucks in the EPL? They won't give a shit about performing anymore, they'll just worry about their performance in the new Super League. This league formation is a move based completely off of greed and it's frankly disgusting. This will be simply devastating to European leagues all around Europe, these top 6 teams from England will benefit with money from the Super League and it will filter back into the EPL. There will simply be nothing to play for anymore, think of the Dutch League, The Scottish League and so on? This is complete bullshit, I'm not sure these owners realize how crippling it will be to make these clubs insanely rich with other teams knowing they can never catch up. I know I am focusing primarily on the EPL but half of the teams in this is league are coming from England, now what happens to the smaller leagues? Do they just disappear? This is a scary situation for these leagues and the lower league teams in England. This league will be taking money away from smaller tier teams and I'm not sure if these leagues or teams could even survive this. The most terrible thing is the "not knowing" no one knows what the fuck is going to happen. Unfortunately this day seemed to be coming for a long time now, will it be good or bad? I'm not sure only time will tell what happens with these developments. Tomorrow the other 14 EPL teams will be meeting to see what the next move is for the future of what some may call the best football league in the world. If you're FIFA, UEFA or the EPL I think you have to stay strong and carry out your threats to try to dismantle this league. You have to feel horrible for players on some of these teams....imagine working your whole life to try and play for your national team now its all taken away due to the greed of your owners. Also a big kudos to big clubs like Bayern, Dortmund and PSG telling this league to fuck off that they don't want to be apart of this....for now that is. Again only time will tell how this all plays out. More to come in the next weeks and months.....so stay tuned.
