Waiting to see what the pundits who are paid (and owned) by broadcasters will say about this. Same for the multimillionaire footballers who legitimate think football was saved 🤦🏻‍♂️
Remember this next time a broadcaster tries to make you pay 15 bucks for a single match, or everyone starts to parrot how the World Cup in Qatar is fantastic for football or when another big club is sponsored by a company with terrible human rights records etc
Understand why people hate the Super League, there are valid reasons: the lack of relegation for founding members, the lack of transparency in how things would work, the hubris of the American owners, that nonsense about shorter matches and Tottenham being part of it.
What killed the Super League wasn’t the fans, but the fact that the billionaires thought they could backstab billionaire organizations, gargantuan broadcasters and lots of footballers with tens of millions without consequences. It was the gamble of the century that went wrong.
Lots of people were convinced the national leagues were dead and we would have 12 teams playing each other forever. The media lapped it up as if they are champions of the football fans and the working class, then pressure did the rest to push the English clubs out.
The PR disaster of the Super League will become one of the biggest case studies on how not to introduce drastic changes to the public.
That’s all you’re getting from me on the Super League.
