Sky Breaking News
Liverpool and Manchester United in talks with other top European Clubs to join a FIFA backed European Premier League from as early as 2022-23 season.
JP Morgan, Providence and Key Capital Partners involved.
We are one of English clubs that could potentially be involved according to Sky (but only 5 max would be involved), but no details of clubs have been released.
They are talking about an 18 club league, playing 34 games and end of season play-offs, with the clubs still playing in their domestic leagues, but not Champions League.

Convenient that this comes out after Project Big Picture was laughed out of town.

Would likely be us out of the 'big six' to miss out as well, you'd assume.
Unless because it's a European competition and they consider success in Europe more meaningful than domestic success. In which case it would be Arsenal to miss out because we've been in the CL much more consistently than them recently.

If they all want their players to either leave or lose their value completely, this will happen. They will all lose their FA registrations and will have no national affiliations. You’ll have european all stars in white flags and no nation winning the Euros and World Cups. After 1 cycle, fans will get annoyed and lose all interest. So i say whatever. The games fucked as is. They’ll all be crawling back to theur respective fa’s after 5 years and will be forced to start out at the lowest end of the pyramid.

The driving force behind this is money mate.
Scum have the larger worldwide fanbase, meaning more viewers...that's all that will matter to the people cooking this up.
True but we have a larger fan base than im sure one or two other European clubs. Id suspect we are huge in Asia foe example so to tap into that market they would use us.
I think they would include the top six but all still shite....

I hope we are not part of this, but I suspect we are. Do not want any part of this whatsoever.

It's been reported there's only spot for 5 English teams.. so I can see us being left out (you know Levy would 100% push for this)
Not with it being FIFA backed it won't. Will have no effect on International Football or player values, and these players would still be able to play in Premier League (although would assume the commercial value of the Premier League would reduce quite a bit)
Withdrawl of players registrations was only something that could be done as a threat if it was a breakaway league against FIFA and UEFA.
This though does put UEFA and FIFA on a collision course, as would totally devalue UEFA's flagship and money generating tournament

If we lose out on the BIG 5 we can always go and join the NFL

So about 75 games per season across the leagues for each club, bollocks.

Not this crap again. Why can’t they just leave well alone. We have the CL for the big European teams to face each other. If this happens the CL would be pointless. I am so against this and I wish Liverpool and utd boards would just stop already!
