Call me crazy but I honestly do not think this is dead. There is still every chance UEFA has agreed to or will have to bribe this lot to kill it off. Or that the others will seek to proceed, probably in kahoots with PSG post-Qatar 2022, making the UCL unviable and giving the English clubs leverage to reach a compromise less outrageous to the fans and government. Or that "negotiations" will start with UEFA, ending up with either a heavily changed UCL or a breakaway with some of the most outrageous bits removed. The backdown has simply been too quick and easy for so monumental a plan formulated in response to so serious a circumstance. Perez is still getting fatter dining out on this one and I don't hear no singing yet.

Very promising. I’m excited. It’s easy to be cynical but there’s the potential for positive change here

Memories of transfer dealings with Levy clearly live long in the mind...

Does anyone know if I can sue Perez for nicking my Spain-Italy super league idea?
Jose gone, ESL dead, what are we gonna argue about now?
Well, Doherty’s back so who is going to start as RB tomorrow?

The Italians may not behind this offer by JP Morgan
But they were behind FFP and the idea of a EURO SUPER LEAGUE, the old guard in Italy have struggled to exercise their dominance in the CL in the late 00's and then struggled to do the same in their league post the corruption scandal

Can someone quickly summarise what changes the breakaway clubs wanted from UEFA's current commercial revenue distribution model?
Was it just more money in general as they thought the competition was undervalued/UEFA were taking too much of a share of the revenue, or was it the way the revenue was distributed across all the teams in the competition? ie. we, Real Madrid, bring in more way more money than APOEL to the Champions League and therefore deserve an even higher percentage of the revenue than we're currently getting?

What Super League? ?

100% mate it has no genuine regard for the fans he’s basically saying I’m sorry that our plan didn’t work out how I wanted but we will keep trying new things. What an utter ****

Can you not be punished for intent and bringing the game into disrepute?
The thing is youd expect if clubs are goign to come out with a proposal that they would try to sell it... the clubs just tumbled like a pack of cards without so much as a wimper. Apart from Perez, no club or no formal communication mentioned about the real benefits and selling it to everyone. All weird.

Woodward is not an owner, and I think that will be the key distinction.
