A salary cap inwouldn’t work because it would handicap those clubs in domestic competitions.

New money owners that are not involved in the ESL would throw money around and players would go chase the bag, especially in the Premier League

Clubs like Bayern ,PSG ,Leipzig and Monaco would go on a spending frenzy .

Are the founding 12 ready for the possibility that no one else might join them? Would they be lucrative enough on their own? :lupe:

Juve stock price up 13% :wow:
United stock price up 8% :ehh:

The moment a company decides to get owned by external parties, its soul vanishes. That's all there is.

I was working with a company whose founder was some good innovative dude. Man wanted to grow and keep innovating but he needed more funds to do so so he went public and a good chunk of shares went to a hedge fund.

First year, we were still splashing money. Second year, investors came in like "you guys needs to see profits like yesterday". Third year, founder head rolled and 20% of the company was gone. New CEO was a board man and change the company's direction so it could be a growth company like everybody.

Always keep ownership. Most valuable thing in the world. :wow:

I would expect Klopp will resign shortly or be fired too after protesting Liverpool's decision. Most football managers are fairly principled people when it comes to something like this.

While managers are nice, what we really need now is for players to step up and refuse to participate in the Superleague.
Kloppo won’t be resigning over this :mjlol: probably killed off any chance of him re-upping though :mjcry:
