European Super League

I don't watch Sky apart from dodgy streaming Celtic games, so have know idea about what he is like and with who, but I read his autobiography and it was surprisingly enjoyable and he comes across on Twitter as someone who has some semblance of a moral perspective, even if he undermines it by being a property developer type pumping money into a hobby club and having that rant on Sky Sports is tinged with irony as they are the f**king problem!

That's all that matters. It's hard not to like Neville and his rant has gone viral, but he is happy to take money from Sky, who have stole English football's soul, while simultaneously helping to pump money into a hobby club that themselves would fall foul of any proper regulation in English football. I think it's hard to like the cxxt tbh.  Every football fan agrees with his point on the super league but he has to give a hollywood performance in comparison to Keane who summed it up in a few words (i.e. the greed) and left it at that. It was a safe subject to have a rant about when you know you'll have overwhelming support.  .  I think Keane was cringing in his seat while Gary's you tube clip  was playing out in real time.  He's an absolute cuck when he's appearing with Keane whether it was their appearance on off the ball a couple of years back or during United games on sky. He's too conciliatory when Keane was rubbishing Ferguson or if Keane is challenging his opinion when they're on the sky panel. He clearly disagrees with Keane at times but he just goes back into his shell.  I find him an absolute bore of a pundit but one thing I will say for Jamie Redknapp, he might have a bit of bias towards Spurs (and Keane's overall point is correct about them) but at least he takes Keane on a bit more when he disagrees with him.    Anyway back on topic. Boooouuuuurrnnns to the Super League proposal.

I hate this  but this is the future of sport . Boxing promoters sat on their hands and destroyed the sport for their own personal gain only to be overtaken by celebrity fights. UEFA have done something similar. The Champions League and Top tier football have been ruined by financial doping and the favoring of the clubs with money. The average consumer is changing too kids with short attention spans want to watch Man United against Barcelona they don't want to see United and Burnley. They haven't the patience to stick with a team or support them through thick and thin. I do enjoy the irony of pundits on SKY Sports being against it when SKY have contributed to this and did something similar with the rebranding of the Premier League.

The "leak" came out the day before UEFA are due to announce the revamp - clearly a scare tactic.

And the way that it was a "leak" rather than a press release, makes me think teams will distance themselves from it eventually. That said, it's the route it'll go eventually, these americans that bought these clubs are used to no relegation with their US teams and want the same setup.
