The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[jod23]

Massive result that in the race for top four. Big slip up from West Ham. We just have to do the business against Leeds and we can really start to make our move for top four.

What is this European Super League nonsense we have signed up for? Whole thing seems a mess between that and the UCL changes.

 

[jod23]

Disappointed in my club being apart of it.

Disgusting greed.

Hope it never happens.

 

[RossFC]

FSG have to leave this club.

I’m out if this goes ahead. Pure greed.

Twice this season, FSG's been more interested in power grabbing and money chasing than buying a CB

This is probably the most advanced in the planning stage this whole Super league thing's been, probably already got broadcast partners and sponsors lined up and s**t

Not against holding UEFA's feet to the fire at times but the whole concept of the Super League is just stupid, I hate it here

 

[bananatigz]

I don't post on here much anymore, but I still watch every game.

If the super league goes ahead, I think it will be the end of my involvement with the club, absolute disgrace.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Yeah, I'm mortified reading the press release. Goes against everything we've stood for as a club and a supporter base.

Two groups of 10! Would basically be playing every Wednesday on top of the EPL (if we are still allowed in it).

Surely this of Liverpool being part of this Super League is "Fake News"

You realise the superleague does not replace the EPL?

It replaces the Champions & Europa league.

 

[gaskin]

With UEFA and FIFA saying they will ban any players playing in it from competing in UEFA and FIFA competitions, I doubt this will get off the ground. The players won't want to miss out on playing internationals and with the massive backlash from fans, I think a few teams may reconsider their stance on this.

It does if we get booted out of the EPL. Unbelievable misreading of the play on this one by FSG and the club. UK Government talking about sanctions as well.

Jurgen is on the record publicly saying he hates the idea and thinks it's utter bollocks - my greatest fear is he resigns in principle (which I wouldn't blame him for at all).

So flat on the club, what a disappointing 12 months after last year.

 

[Dylan8]

Disgraceful from all clubs involved. I'm not surprised we've joined this shitshow. Pure greed.

 

[kane249]

I think it's just posturing from the super clubs to get a bigger slice of the profits.
Doubt they actually go through with it given the ramifications UEFA and FIFA are threatening.

The chances of this happening are virtually zero. Not even the smaller clubs would want this to happen because it would cripple them badly financially. They're all now depending on the big TV rights deal, and that deal depends on top clubs being in the EPL.

Maybe I should read the article first lol. Thanks

I agree, if they really go ahead with it then it's just mutual destruction. Loads of threats right now but a compromise will be reached, hopefully anyway

It's bigger than just a slice of the profits. There have been rumblings about UEFA European competitions for a while now. Clubs like Barcelona hate going to places like Turkey or Kazan, and know full well it would be far more profitable to only ever play big clubs.

To put it another way, its not so much about being unsatisfied with their current slice; what they really want is a bigger, tastier cake.

That's what I've always thought while it's been simmering away in the background with articles popping up occasionally. Now that clubs are officially announcing their intentions I'm not so sure. I'd still have my money on it not getting off the ground at the moment.

 

[Cooldude]

Oh btw game's on tonight, not that getting into the top 4 matters anymore

BREAKING: All the 12 participating clubs will be EXCLUDED from the Champions League and their domestic leagues for the 2021/22 season

It’s still April. Is it a joke?

 

[Lebbo73]

Does anyone think that all this extra money would result in FSG spending any money on strengthening the squad?

 

[Cuzz09]

Thats hilarious.

Hopefully some lower side wins the EPL
