Spurs supporters 20 years ago: "We want to be one of the elite clubs in Europe!"

Levy: "I give you - - SUPER LEAGUE!"

Spurs supporters: "Meh. we're outta here. We don't want to support an elitist team!"

I'll not be watching this shite set of glorified friendlies that's for sure. Why bother trying to get top 4 in the league now when we can come 16th and still get super League every year? This makes almost everything pointless.
I was told here on this forum that top 4 is meaningless and its all about Trophies.

The people supporting this are only doing so because it gives us a new route to money and the dream of success. There's no other reason.

For me we're selling our soul to the devil. We can't be successful through the usual way so we want to try and change that by going through the back door (oo err).

There's no way to dress this up or try and justify it, its because people want success and money. Levy is doing it for the same reasons and because he doesn't want to be left behind.

I actually hope that Uefa and fifa ban the clubs and players.

Football fucked up years ago by letting rich sugar daddys dominate the game. This isn't the way to undo that.

At least we can say we are dining ar the top table now, even if we look out of place at the table.

Will anyone still follow the club? Be brutally honest.
I'll not lie - I'm gutted at this news & astounded in equal measure, but honestly - this club has been a part of me for over 40 years & through everything I've seen through those years I've stayed loyal. I'm a creature of habit and I'll still be there supporting us for whatever that actually means anyway.

The majority are still against it, but aside from spurious wailing about how it’s all about money (as if that’s something new), I can’t see the major bones of contention tbh.

I don’t really have an opinion on the whole thing yet but overall I think it seems like a good thing.

Its good that we create our own little meaningless bubble league and get kicked out of the PL, the UEFA comps, and our players may not be able to play for their countries?

I can't see how that's good for anyone, least of all fans.

ENIC will make a fucking fortune though. Yay.

It’s just not that though is it mate. You think anything that has Glazer, Perez, Kroenke, Levy etc. hands all over it is going to be a moral paradise compared to UEFA? Come on. And it’s nothing like the Champions League because none of this is based on merit. It’s the richest clubs and owners coming together in an attempt to monopolise football for the super elite and the super elite only. It’s clear now everything the club had done in recent years was to position themselves for this moment. The giant new stadium that’s built more for entertainment purposes than to be a football ground. The NFL deal. The hiring of super coach world famous Jose Mourinho. It’s all been to leverage entry into this billionaires cabal. It’s not what football is, it’s not what Tottenham is and it should be met with unilateral opposition. A total disgrace.

Well, you oppose away.

It’s done.

They can still have a European completion. The Europa Conference League. The PL could redistribute TV money to give more to the teams not in the super league. There are ways around it
This is going to generate annual amounts comfortably over £100m, while the UEFA competitions will become an unfunny joke with sod-all revenue. As for redistributing money that could happen, but with the Big 6 all voting against would need an unanimous vote from the others - and the 6 would inevitably threaten to leave entirely (which would have to be taken seriously now) if it was too radical.

Sticking £100 on Scotland to win the euros because their team is already fucking shite and won’t be decimated as badly as the top nations will.
