See the usual suspects want to form their own little European league amongst the so called cream. If it were to happen it may make english football interesting again without them. Although a Bit odd as the 82 dont seem to be in the list.

The "Big 6"  owners will never be satisfied until they have done away with all forms of competition and threats to their elite status. It's absolutely disgraceful and infuriating. I've not really followed the Prem much this year, but news like this, coupled with the demise of the Gas, and I'm feeling more disenfranchised with football than I have ever felt before. |

Although a Bit odd as the 82 dont seem to be in the list. It seems to have gone further than just wanting as they appear to have now agreed to join a breakaway league. I can't really see the attraction of playing just European clubs week in, week out, I assume it would also mean the "big 6" wouldn't be able to enter the FA Cup or League Cup in the future. You have to love the way Liverpool now think they are one of Europe's footballing giants after just a couple of successful years recently. |

Big 6 yet both of them could easily finish outside the top 6. Hopefully if it happens they'll ban the lot of them from all domestic & European competitions |

Let the six elite clubs join the European League, our domestic football be so much better without them. Imagine the inflated prices to watch such games! I detest the word "premiere" league. What was wrong with the old first division? So called elite division with unaffordable prices.

What was wrong with the old first division? So called elite division with unaffordable prices. to me it would be the best thing to happen. Sky would move onto their next plaything.football becomes more enjoyable again and may even take a interest in the game outside of this club. |

Not saying I agree with this mind,, think it’s disgusting, just the big clubs trying to grab more money and not giving a sh**e about history or the fans |

It's pretty funny that all the governing bodies are suddenly concerned with protecting the game when they have been Dam us over since the inception of the PL and Champions League.

Let them go. Kick them out of all domestic cups and stop them signing any players from outside of their little niche click.
Greedy bstards.

The "big 6" are only interested in money. They've calculated that they would be wealthier in a contrived European Champions league than bog standard Premier League.

I wonder if the supporters of the so called big six have been consulted. Then again, do these clubs even need supporters as most their wealth will come from TV deals.

Wasn’t this proved recently when it shown that a certain number of clubs would make a profit without any fans at games. Tv money, naming rights and merchandising make them all they need |

Senior Uefa figures are furious that 12 major European clubs, including the 'big six' from England, have signed up to a breakaway European Super League.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham are part of the group.
La Liga's Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid and Serie A's AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus are involved.
Uefa said it will use "all measures available" to stop the "cynical project" of a breakaway Super League.
None of the clubs involved have commented yet but it is thought a statement is likely to be released later on Sunday.
BBC Sport was told last week of plans for some sort of confirmation about a European Super League.
Uefa had hoped to head off plans with a new-look 36-team Champions League set to be confirmed on Monday.
The European governing body released a joint statement together with the English Football Association, Premier League Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), La Liga, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) as well as Serie A on Sunday.
They said they will "remain united" in trying to stop the breakaway, using both judicial and sporting measures if required.
They also reiterated Fifa's stance that players taking part in the Super League would be banned from all other competitions at domestic, European or world level and could be prevented from representing their national teams.
In a separate statement, the Premier League said it condemned the proposal as it "attacks the principles of open competition and sporting merit which are at the heart" of domestic and European football.
Juventus owner Andrea Agnelli, Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and AC Milan chief executive Ivan Gazidis would all have had a significant input into the Champions League discussions on Friday.

It has been agreed the new-look Champions League will involve an initial phase where every club plays 10 matches each rather than the current group phase.
In addition there would be play-offs, followed by a knockout phase.
The most controversial aspect of the proposals surround the allocation of the four additional places, with two being reserved for the clubs ranked highest in Uefa's co-efficient table who fail to qualify for the Champions League through their domestic competition, but do secure some kind of European football.
At the moment, Liverpool and Chelsea would be the clubs who benefited from that system if it was in place this season.

Any players participating will not be allowed to represent their countries in world cups.
With the money they can earn, i suspect quite a few wont care.
This is what happens when clubs become corporations, just a juggernaut of money, the Chinese will lap it up, and we can have a chuckle at the fans of the 6 who play the same games over and over with few obtainable away trips.

Give them until the end of this season to provide a legally binding long term commitment to the English football pyramid. If they don’t sign up either kick them out or the other 14 clubs break away with the rest of the EFL leaving the ‘big six’ with nowhere to play in the short term. Champions and Europa Legaue spots would go to the other highest placed teams for next seasons competitions. I know he’s a bit marmite but Gary Neville gave an excellent rant on Sky earlier. |

Tv money, naming rights and merchandising make them all they need When you realise how much the owners of say, Man City, are worth, the money brought in from season ticket sales is like finding 10p in your car to them. When they bought Man City for £350 mil, they were asked why it wasn't announced. The reply was because it wasn't a big enough purchase to make a fuss about. Seriously. |
