    If it was piss broke barca and juve maybe not, but with the biggest club in the world leading the charge I'm sure it will pick up momentum again.

    Maybe they’re similarly invalid but the new Premier League charter prohibits unauthorized participation in a new league. Hard to see the German teams other than maybe RB Leipzig having any interest. If they can’t even get interest from Inter, Atletico Madrid, or PSG, hard to see how this ever gets off the ground.

    You think Milan and Juve have good finances?

    Weird hill to die on, not sure why you’d want this. Commercial revenue + UCL is enough to keep Real in good shape

    I didn’t say that I did. In fact I’ve been outspoken against this and the changes to expand the CL format. I’m just getting a kick out the virtuous stands being made by so many of the absolute worst, most hypocritical people in the sport.

    why in Gods name would anyone associated with the Super League, publicly or privately, allow that buffoon to speak about it? Regardless of your opinion of Perez he’s quite probably the most powerful person in the game and the things he says carry weight - even the stupid shit. Barcelona (and Laporta specifically) are radioactively toxic at the moment and the absolute best thing they can do is shut the fuck up and silently blend in while they try and ride out their storm.
