This is why I've been cheering more for the Wolves ever since their return to the premier league over Arsenal.

External private investors can't own more than 49% of the club

This just seems like a common sense thing tbh.

8 teams have now pulled out, and Real Madrid's owner has now tripled down on the project, saying everyone but him is wrong and that the attack on the Super League was premeditated and orchestrated, which is pretty funny in the context that they were planning to stab UEFA in the back for a long time, and did so shortly negotiating a new deal with them.

This guy lives in his own little world where only his own reality matters and he doesn't even care that he's down to 4 teams with Barcelona probably leaving next. Multiple teams/owners have already apologized, and he's going scorched Earth.

Perez is a fucking snake but this Trump-esque shit-stirring is hilarious

I'm 90% sure the next thing he's going to say is the protests against this were put there by Soros

Agnelli - godfather of Ceferin's kid - turning off his phone so Ceferin couldn't call him is actually amazing.

A buncha rich guys who thought they knew what they were doing who didn't have a damn clue and the lies upon lies they were stacking on to try to protect their secrets.

Sounds about right.

Agnelli is done.

And he's probably so done that he's taking his family name down with him.

Amazing read if you don't get paywalled
Thanks for sharing.

The Premier League held a meeting without its six rebel teams, and the remaining 14 clubs discussed what punitive measures to take against those who had signed up for the Super League. Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, one of the rebel clubs, asked Paul Barber, the chief executive of Brighton, to share a message of regret at the meeting. He did, but few seemed interested in Levys sentiment.


This is one of the funniest things I've read

Arsenal fans haven't been able to gather and do our songs and chants for over a year now so this is not surprising.

Most tragic breakaway attempt is every time an Arsenal player is through on goal, to be honest.

Honestly this was such a rejection that it may be a long time before they try again. The government had very clear avenues to blocking it, as did the FA, to say nothing of the absolute rejection by the fans and media.

They didn't even try to PR it. They didn't build up to it. They just released it as a bulk "Hey guys, we've been lying to you repeatedly the whole time, but it's definitely for the good of football, so we're cool, right?"

Almost every person, even executives on the teams, had no idea this was coming. This incredible backlash was partly because of the overwhelming failure of these owners to do any part of this process correctly.

From the information in that NYT article, it was a very rushed process that they basically were trying to force through more than anything. Like Agnelli blocking Ceferin's calls was so amateurish.

Agreed. There's absolutely a way to do this right, and they botched it so hard that they've preemptively shot themselves in the foot for future attempts.

Every time he speaks he does so much damage to the Madrid brand

Everyone now knows this was a desperate attempt on his part to satisfy creditors

If there's one institution in sport that I'd quite enjoy an implosion of, it's Madrid

tbh if the CL format was replaced with the ESL's only open instead of closed, I think fans would have begrudingly accepted it.

Like I don't think we actually care who is selling the TV rights as long as everyone has a chance of getting in the big games.

The CL is fine the way it is with minor tweaks, no need for a total overhaul.
