Pep - superleague is not sport

Good on him.
We need everybody in the sport coming out against it.

It would be better if he, his fellow managers, and their players refused to play if they mean that and it would kill the idea in one fell swoop ...... but we all know that's not going to happen
 
The table based on match results will be meaningless. The true barometer of success will be the profit margin. I think they should have a separate table and cup for this. “The Selfish League Corrupt Profitability Cup”. It will only ever have the previous seasons winner on it, after all, history means nothing ;)
 
Saw on Sky that one of the suggestions(not sure from who) might be to deduct them points in PL every time they play a game in this competition. If it gets that far we have lost. Need punishment in place before it even starts. Shearer was correct ban them now.

The guy from Madrid is a total d*ck. We have over spent and are in debt lets just print some more money. Not in those exact words of course. Maybe he should be PM here. ;)
 
Brilliant.

There are probably a small handful of coaches out there that are bullet proof when it comes to saying anything they want. Pep is one of them, Klopp is another. They know they won't be sacked from their clubs, so it's great to see the likes of Pep and Klopp coming out and saying they're not happy with the ESL.

It's probably a lot tougher for Arteta, Ole and Tuchel because they could easily be dismissed and replaced if they speak out of turn.
 
Pep is very ethical man he’s not motivated by money after all he walked out of Barca as he wasn’t feeling it anymore went to live in New York for a few months and came back. So I can see him walking from this as well.

TBH Sky wrote off all the history of English football once the Premier League started. Ask them who scored the most goals and they will give you a PL player.

Without doubt. And I'd hope those three would choose to do that also.

I still think it's a little harder for them, when they don't have nowhere near as much goodwill at their clubs compared to what Pep & Klopp have at City & Liverpool, respectively.

I'll definitely be disappointed if all 5 of those managers stayed with their clubs if the ESL went ahead with them in it.
 
Apparently Pep has also 'proceeded to tear strips of UEFA and the ESL owners' during the embargoed section of his press conference today which will be available at 10:30pm.
 
I read the £325 million they get for starters is not allowed to be spent on players according to the rules. Straight in the owners sky rocket then? Absolutely sickening.

He did attack UEFA. No one is claiming that they don't need reform. They should be not for profit, highly regulated and more open......but allowing the 12 biggest clubs to govern football would be far far worse than letting UEFA do it. (bloody hell more brexit parallels :oops: UEFexit)

He tested positive for nandrolone when playing for Brescia. Twice. Like his teammate Frank de Boer, who shared a doctor with Ethical Pep, and many other leading footballers and tennis players of that time. He escaped on what would appear to be a technicality. And don't forget his famous, heavy-pressing Barca team and their alleged links to Dr Fuentes, who said if he spoke the truth "Spain would be stripped of the 2010 World Cup."

Ethical Pep now works for Qatar, of course, and has so far refused to speak out against the Human Rights violations happening in Qatar as hundreds and hundreds of people die whilst building stadia for the 2022 World Cup.

Interesting that most of the Liverpool and City players have asthma.


Like poor Bradley Wiggins.
