    Surely NOBODY ever thought they really care about "the game"..? Remember it ISN'T their game. This is what I have been bleating on about for years. How can ANYONE fail to see the danger of having people owning the largest institutions in "the game" coming from a nation where "the game" is literally of no consequence..?

    The idea of a European Super League was always around LONG before the Yanks rocked up - BUT it was always likely to be those more concerned with money than "the game" who would push for this..

    The Arabs & the Russians already have the cash - they genuinely love "the game".. there are many other arenas they could have inserted their money into - they chose football because of the sport - NOT - to make a profit!!

    This was always going to happen. Better get used to it.

    So would it replace the CL or mean the top clubs leave their respective leagues?
    Pure greed and nothing more fuelling this. Footballs been fucked for a while anyway but this would be the tin hat.

    We will probably do very well out of it financially mate - but it isn't good for the game.

    Will we though, or will FSG-? you think it's the same thing but it's not, unless they put it into the club/transfers

    It's virtually a European league already with the CL. All it will do is give less successful teams the chance to win league titles, because i can't see them having 2 different competitions. They've been talking about this for years and it's still not happened so it's far from guaranteed that it will get the go ahead.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Plenty more cash flow to be found on the back of brand Liverpool FC - people forget NESV were fairly small time players - What were they - Red Sox and Roush Fenway Racing ...?

    They have quadrupled their status since buying us. Getting into this game at just the right time has been MASSIVE for them.

    Henry might be many things but an idiot he ain't. The next part of the plan is to bring in investment for a stake.. Redball will be coming in. It would be interesting to see just how much of an increase in actual wealth FSG have made in the last 10 years. I would guess they know precisely how and when to exit. another 10 years might be too long but very possible.

    The game has been going this way since the birth of The Premier League...As fans - quite frankly - as long as the manager is backed - we should be fine.
