✶  European Super League - the key questions: What is it? Who is involved? How likely?
✶  What has happened?

Twelve of Europes leading football clubs have announced they have agreed to establish a new midweek competition, the European Super League, governed by its Founding Clubs.
✶ Which clubs are involved?
The Premier Leagues big-six clubs - Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham - are all involved.
AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have all joined as Founding Clubs.

✶ HUGE Respect as German giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are not included and nor are French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
✶ Why has this come about now?

The clubs say that the formation of the Super League comes at a time when the global pandemic has accelerated the instability in the existing European football economic model. Further, for a number of years, the Founding Clubs have had the objective of improving the quality and intensity of existing European competitions throughout each season, and of creating a format for top clubs and players to compete on a regular basis.
The pandemic has shown that a strategic vision and a sustainable commercial approach are required to enhance value and support for the benefit of the entire European football pyramid.
However, Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol says this has come about now for one reason, and one reason only.(Money)

✶ What does it mean for the Champions League?
If the Super League goes ahead, it would effectively replace the Champions League.
Sundays developments came just 24 hours before UEFA were due to discuss proposed Champions League reforms. The reforms were seen as an attempt to reach a compromise with the clubs in favour of a breakaway competition by offering them more matches.
The reforms were planned to come into effect in 2024, expanding the Champions League to 36 teams, adjusting the format and increasing the number of matches from 125 to 225.
The reforms were intended to favour the clubs central to the Super League and even included a safety net of four qualification spots for clubs based on their past performance in European competition, should they miss out on qualification through domestic competition.
But it seems the reforms do not go far enough for Europes biggest clubs.
✶ How would the league be financed?
About $5billion has been committed to this new project by the American bank JP Morgan.
In their own announcement, the breakaways clubs state The Founding Clubs will receive an amount of €3.5 billion solely to support their infrastructure investment plans and to offset the impact of the COVID pandemic.
✶ Who is in charge of the Super League?
The first head of Super League chairman is Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and hes supported by vice chairman Andrea Agnelli, chairman of Juventus and Joel Glazer, co-chairman of Manchester United. Heres the full list:

✶ Chairman: Florentino Perez (Real Madrid)
✶ Vice chairman: Stan Kroenke (Arsenal)
✶ Vice chairman: Andrea Agnelli (Juventus)
✶ Vice chairman: John W. Henry (Liverpool)
✶ Vice chairman: Joel Glazer (Manchester United)

✶ Has Uefa and Fifa Responded?

UEFA  and FIFA has taken a hardline stance against the proposed Super League. According to Romano in response to the proposed announcement, UEFA reiterated, Every club and player participating in the Super League could be banned from all UEFA and FIFA competitions, European or International level.(RESPECT)
✶ What are former players, coaches execs and BULDOZERsaying about this?
For Me This is an absolute joke this could end 70 years of Football history This is an absolute disgrace The Owners of This Clubs has nothing to do with football in these countries Look what these Clowns are doing for the only Reason #Money they Dont Even care that there are team with 100+ years history that need protection they dont even care for fans or anything ....
Gary Neville :
The reaction to it is that it’s been damned and rightly so, Neville said.
“I’m a Manchester United fan and have been for 40 years of my life but I’m disgusted, absolutely disgusted.
“I’m disgusted with Manchester United and Liverpool the most. Liverpool say they’re the people’s club, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, the fan’s club. Manchester United, 100 years, born from workers around here, and they’re breaking into a league without competition, that they can’t be relegated from?
“It’s an absolute disgrace and we have to wrestle back the power in this country from the clubs at the top of this league. That includes my club.
“I’ve been talking for 12 months as part of another group for an independent regulator to bring checks and balances into place to stop this happening. It’s pure greed.
“They’re imposters, the owners of these clubs, the owners of Liverpool, the owners of Manchester City, the owners of Chelsea, they have nothing to do with football in this country.
“There are 100-odd years of football in this country with fans that have lived and loved these clubs and they need protecting, the fans need protecting.
“I benefited from football hugely, I’ve made money out of football, I invested money into a football club and now I’m not against money in football, but the principles and ethos of fair competition and the rights to play the game, so Leicester win the league, they go into the Champions League.
“Manchester United aren’t even in the Champions League, neither are Arsenal - you watched them earlier today, theyre an absolute shambles of a football club at the moment,
“Tottenham aren’t in the Champions League at the moment, and they want a God-given right to be in there?
“They’re an absolute joke and the time has come now, independent regulator, stop these clubs having the power base - enough is enough. 

“Deduct them all points tomorrow, put them at the bottom of the league and take the money off them. Seriously, you have to stamp on this.
“It’s criminal. It’s a criminal act against football fans in this country. Make no mistake about it, this is the biggest sport in the world, the biggest sport in this country and it’s a criminal act against the fans, simple as that. Deduct points, deduct the money and punish them.
“They’re bottle merchants. You never hear from the owners of these clubs. Absolute bottle merchants, they’ve got no voice. They’ll probably hide for a few weeks and then say it was nothing to do with them, they were only talking about it.
“Seriously, in the midst of a pandemic, an economic crisis, football clubs at National League level going bust nearly, furloughing players, and these lots are having Zoom calls about breaking away and basically creating more greed? Joke.
“They’ll be amending that statement as we speak because they’ll have seen the reaction, not just from people from this channel, not just social media, not just the Government, they’ll be backtracking because they are bottle merchants, this lot, let’s make no mistake about it.
“It was the same with Big Picture, they bottled out of that a week later, so from my point of view, listening to this, we talk about big clubs - Manchester United have acted as a small club for about eight to 10 years, they’ve been a small club in mentality.
“Arsenal have been like a small club, some of the other clubs that are missing out and actually doing really well, they act like bigger clubs.
“Being a big club isn’t just about having a global fanbase, it’s acting properly at the right time.
“I always thought Bayern Munich were a decent club when I played against them, I’d like to think Manchester United and Liverpool would stand there in the face of this and say something isn’t right here.
“Let’s collaborate with the game to try and get a better competition, a better Champions League.
“I’m not against the modernisation of competitions - competitions moved forward over the last 100 or so years. I’m not for everything standing still, but this is a grab, an absolute grab at a time when the timing is hideous.
“What world are these people living in, to think they can bring this forward at this moment of time?
“They’ve got no loyalty to this country and these leagues. Enough is enough. There isn’t a football fan in this country that won’t be seething listening to this conversation and these announcements.

The end of football

I agree, superleague is bullshit.. Yet if the retard owners insist let them do it but completely ignore their competitions, dont watch, buy tickets etc. Passion is literally gone in top clubs which only see us as wallets on legs.
