The shyt was over as soon as the Oligarchs and Sheiks got involved.

The thing about soccer is it's NOT the NBA or NFL. It's more akin to college sports here in the states where there's 100+ years of history and small schools knock off big ones all the time in the NCAA tournament. But College Football is trash because we can count on our hands how many programs can even contend....it's fukking boring.

Relegation was the last bastion of what felt like "fairness" in the sport. The players are going to go...FLAT OUT. No one's gonna go play for Southampton and an EPL title when they can go ride the bench for AC Milan and make 4x as much.

If I was FIFA I'd do even more. No transfers to the super league either. You wanna make a super league..you make it YOUR LEAGUE you cannot have any of our players.

I've never even seen American sports shyt on their own history in such a disgusting way like this.

preach breh preach

this is why you have to be very careful who you sell your club to :hubie:

I would be completely sold on a super league if there was some kind of relegation or disciplinary caution for shytty teams and each season a new team or two being added. like a regular league, but yeah, if it's the same team every year, I can't get jiggy with that....

Players gonna get fucced and they don't even realize it. These NFL owners are gonna put in a salary cap.

It does sound like it's a project that would instill a salary cap. But if fukking Florentino is the president, one would guess he's doing this so he can back to the Galácticos fukkery and not worry about financial fair play.

Greed instills more greed. They will want to increase revenue YOY and net profit so the players will be on the other end of that.

I don't know about a hard salary cap but I did see something earlier about 55% of turnover being the max allowed to be spent on wages can't remember where and don't know how true that is.
