It’s kind of funny watching BT Sports and Sky Sports act high and mighty when they are the one that took the game away from the fans. I remember when the ucl was free to watch for English clubs on ITV until these companies paid obscene money to buy the rights.
They only mad coz they are not getting a piece. Watch in few months when a deal will be made and everything will be cool
Lol. Sky and Bt do not care. They will simply bid for the rights to see the super league
Yes this was the european cup when champions entered the league like celtic rangers, benfica, porto, ajax, dynamo kiev who have been in europe cosistantly as champions and have to go through 2/3 qualifiers before entry with limited money but english teams have top 6 teams who are just richer and the super league teams have auto entry and are seeded which means they have played easy teams at the start.now there will be a willy wonka league
@@24base Sky and BT are pushing the narrative against the ESL because they know they will be overlooked when it comes to broadcasting. The ESL would find it more profitable to create their own Netflix style streaming service.
You are 100% right. I have cancelled my sky package £79 a month, and it was going up to £85. Nearly £1,000 a year to pay these footballers , who are over paid. When a policeman or a nurse earns £30,000 a year, and a top footballer takes home five times that amount in one week. Society has gone mad.
Im an Atalanta fan here recruiting new fans
You are all welcomed

You're top of Serie A now. Congratulations
I love your team bro 💪 they play beautiful been a fan since last UCL does this count me as a small fan?

As an American .. the main reason I fell in love with European soccer was because of the Relegation battles and storylines that they play .. Sad to see what’s happening
Same it isn't all of us we love football in Europe cause it gets us away from these closed leagues here in America. This truly hurts knowing this is happening
Same here... it’s such a huge difference than American leagues I actually think it makes it way more competitive

European FOOTBALL*******
As soon as I heard JP Morgan was involved I knew it was all about money and power. There is no end to the extent of their greed.
How is this merely a bluff, a power play. The clubs have literally just left the ECA. There's no coming back from this without fallout now.
Fans stop buying merch and buy no tickets.
Workers go on strike;
Managers & players resign / terminate their contracts.
What then for the USL?
No one to watch, no one to play.
This is a very unrealistic plan, but its not impossible.
Mourinho already sacked.
Hassenhutl condemned the USL.
If the players all unanimously disagree and condemn the USL, they wont even play.
@@shaikul4887 no players have come out to condemn it, few minutes ago Kroos even endorsed it so I dont think real fans will have much of a say in this since people around the world will still watch it
@@codl61 kroos is a c*nt anyways😂
Give it time my man. With players its different. Especially youngsters like mbappe, they have their whole careers to consider before striking.
So by august 2021, players will have plenty of time think about the ramifications and disrespect of the USL.
Im hoping by august that players go and strike. (It may not happen, i agree) but its worth a go🤷♂️.
@@shaikul4887 Stfu you're just a consumer you've no say
@@codl61 I think you’ll find majority of these big 6 clubs fans are against it as will many players especially when they risk being banned from competing at upcoming euros and world cups. This will destroy English football and yes youre right when you say around the world because it’s stupid foreign fans that want this
Jordan has totally underestimated the seriousness of this. This is happening
@James O'leary the website and logo looked like it was drafted in 5 mins. Its all a bluff that has gone too far. There would have been leaks months ago if it was happening and a start date confirmed.
@ceejay1872 #55 you really think the prem can survive without the big 6? I think it’s an empty threat
@James O'leary They 'll have to. You can't have a league that contains 6 teams who have nothing to play for as they're automatically in a "super league " anyway. You basically write off competition by keeping those 6 clubs in It. If the super league thing happens,those 6 clubs are history in the prem
No it’s not
perhaps... it is planned for 2023/24. my guess is a new negotiation will happen and UEFA will be forced to fork more money over to these clubs in the end. because LA Liga, Serie A, Premier League, Champions League is nothing without the biggest clubs. Neither am I interesded in a world cup without the best players so something has to give. neither is FIFA or UEFA ANYONES heroes.
Jordan, the king of talking over literally everyone.
Loves the sound of his own voice
He does, and not always likeable, but he's bang on on this and he has experience of owning clubs/running a business.
@@steph1921 Everyone should have enough self esteem to like talking ;)
To be fair at least he explains the financials of football in terms that you can understand and makes alot of fair points.
He is the only one who talks sense on there. As for Trevor Sinclair, wow
3 teams were asked and said no. Bayern Munich, Dortmund and PSG. Why do you think the super league has 3 invitational spots.
Meanwhile Bayern and PSG wants to invite Sheffield United, Fulham, Schalke, Eibar , Leece , Dundee United etc to take part in European farmers league
Dundee United have done more in Europe that Tottenham
Lets not pretend psg did it for the love of the fans, its owner invested in media for champions league, and germany has strict laws which prohibit such important decisions without very large consensus among stakeholders and even fans
german teams has a 51% rule. They can't join if the fans are opposed.
As for PSG, some of their directors are gonna lose money if they signed up for it.
@@LeaveMyGun Lets be honest, you think Qatar (Bein sport) wont be able to purchase the broadcasting rights for both CL and SL?.
Simon is on 🔥 here, football economics is better than sex for him 😂
make you right fella
He isnt wrong though.
I don't like him whatch the video on u tube when they interviewed arsenal aft headman give it a watch make your own minds up
Could listen to Simon all day, great character to have on the show.
Danny Murphy suggesting Dortmund wouldn't be invited, who's he kidding? One of the most watched teams in Europe, far more desirable than Spurs and Arsenal
Dortmund have more European cups than Danny murphy
Not more than arsenal but more than spurs for sure
He's clueless Murphy
He's an absolute idiot. If his only knowledge is from the PL, the he should just shut up when talking about foreign clubs.
FC Porto fan here... You are all welcome to join and support our club and/or league, because we need money and don't have a millionaire sugar daddy to pay for our players.

U can have mourinho have
You will be joining them soon mate. :-D And Benfica
Desportivo aves fan here ( possibly the only English one ever ) need more fans for my Portugal team
I wonder if mourinho spoke up to levy about opposing super league just seems strange to sack him before Cup final...West ham fan
Honestly he should have been sakced a long time ago though regardless of the final being close
apparently he refused to take the players for training because of the club joining the super league
@@capsy9 if that's true he's a legend
I think Levy just finally had the money to sack him
It’s 100% not true
Simon is bang on with everything he says especially how players wages
What he said about UEFA and FIFA is very true
Im glad theres another league it creates competion fifa and uefa are a monopoly.
@@Alex-xt2gn what an absolutely moronic statement 🤦♂️
@@anneeq008 clearly like most of the struggling potheads does not realise how simple business fucking works. UEFA and Fifa two of the most corrupt organisations have created a monopoly industry like how sky did not to long ago. Having another competition creates consumer based competition.
Without it BT was almost on the verge of pushing £15-20 tv matches to handle increase of business model suppliments. Also clubs can now "hopefully" *IF NOT IS WRONG* reduce ticket costs growing exponetially. Also Uefa steal investment of funds to grass roots worth 3.3 billion.
- Another reason being supply is increased to meet demand. No longer will people pay near a grand to watch real madrid. It brings supply up to help meet demand.
- Does it take away from excitement yeah but realistically those top 6 premier league clubs and other european clubs on average consistently enter CL or EL anyways.
- The top clubs are bleeding money. 500 million lost last year for Man U for example.
@@Alex-xt2gn This new European Super League will be the exact opposite of competition, thats why everyones against it.
@@Alex-xt2gn Why can't they play domestic league and European Super League at the same time...
Damage is done, Let them go but if they don't then all clubs involved should be punished heavily. I didnt lose Arsenal, Arsenal lost me.
👍
Kick them out and the fans setup new clubs in their place. Will have to start at the bottom again but all these clubs have allegedly got worldwide support, so it shouldn't take long for the new clubs to get back up again.
As a Chelsea supporter I totally agree, tired of the greed - owners, broadcasters and the players are the worst.
Why do you even support Arsenal
Hahaha
I’m an Inter fan. If this Super League goes not, I’ll not support Inter anymore. I’ll find a small team and support them! If a team like Inter will loose most of fans, that will hurt them as a club!
Simon Jordan should have his own TV show with different guests on called TAKE ME ON .He speaks so much sense and he will call people out
I kind of agree, but he's definitely underestimating just how terribly this could go. Yes, UEFA and FIFA are corrupt institutions, but its the lesser of two evils. This will kill domestic football and grassroots football. These clubs will become touring clubs, where real fans cannot afford to buy tickets to friendlies, let alone to games against Madrid and Barca. He's downplaying it as a 'power move', but if it isn't then accessible football for the fans will be dead.
Legend
You can tell he knows his stuff when the others keep their mouth shut
I'm not a fan of Simon Jordan, but this is without a doubt the best discussion about the whole situation - everyone else is freaking out and overreacting without knowing why.
This was well thought out and actually offers an insight into what's actually happening, well done Simon 👏
The way to stop is
1) No broadcaster can show matches
2) Banned and thrown out of domestic leagues
3) Ban players that participate in the league.
"Our primary job is to maximize our revenues and profits, the wider good of the games secondary concern" what an absolutely shocking quote the owners are a disgrace!!
When you spend 100s of millions, that's an investment you want a return on
I seen that quote earlier with o name attributed to it, but I knew straight
away that it was someone from United. Probably Woodward... God I hate our owners
@@jordacai3889 Don't invest in football then! I would never invest in a football club for profit, as I know that there is the competing priority of winning trophies, which isn't always compatible with making a profit. Many indulge in "financial doping" in order to achieve their success. Just look at the obscene debts some of these clubs have built up in pursuit of success!
Simon Jordan is top class - insightful, articulate, and tells it how it is - from all angles!
Agreed. Knows exactly whats going on. Proved true its just positioning
It's actually a good thing. So we finally see what it's really all about, money. Now we fans can show the greedy owners that we want a fair competition in which surprises and miracles can happen.
That’s why I always said never ever sell to American investors they’re there to destroy the game
Exactly. Their culture is money above everything else. They have never embraced football and should stay away.
Yes I remember you saying just! Lol.
Exactly. That was literally letting the fox into the hen house.
@@chiselcheswick5673 American here, living in England for the past few years and can’t agree with you enough... if you let them they’ll ruin this beautiful game... all for money
The American business model with the entertainment industry is a giant you cant go against.
🥳🥳Simon just had to mention the word "NOTION"
@serdy ximi I recommend you get one
This is the absolute highest level of football analysis I've ever heard on such a show. Amazing!
2:24 The cut from an incredibly articulate, experienced and knowledgeable man, to danny murphy is priceless. Hats off to the editing.
Sorry guys, but whatever the backlash is, this is going to go ahead.
The clubs involved in this are rich enough to have employed the best lawyers to analyse the legal implications of this. The Premier League, UEFA, FIFA, etc would not have come out and condemned it publicly if they didn't already know there is no legal means to prevent this from happening.
$6,000,000,000 has already been committed by JP Morgan for this project to go ahead. It doesn't mean that this money has been invested, but this amount of money would not have been accrued if there was a significant chance of this project not going ahead.
Everybody can speak up against it, but at the end of the day, BT Sport and Sky, as well as all the other broadcasters around the world, will invest in broadcasting this Super League. The fans of the clubs, no matter how much they hate this idea, will end up watching the games. Neutral fans will watch this as much as they watch the Champions League. Because, if you wanted to watch neutral continental football, would you rather watch Real Madrid vs Man City every week, or Porto v Dortmund? People will call for a boycott, but how often do boycotts work?
FIFA and UEFA have stated that any players involved will not be allowed into the Euros or World Cup, but this is an empty threat. The idea of hosting such prestigious tournaments without the best players will just devalue the competition. And would the players rather play for their clubs on a permanent basis, earning tonnes of money, or would they sacrifice that for the sake of a maximum of 7 games every two years?
PSG, Dortmund and Bayern have so far refrained from joining the agreement, but eventually they'll succumb to the huge loss of revenue and will have to decide whether they wish to wither away like the rest of football, or remain afloat by joining the Super League.
We can cry and moan about it all we want, but the initial backlash will die down. People react to things, but eventually they'll learn to live with it, and eventually embrace it. The older generation (this includes the younger generation of today), will eventually grow old and die off, and the new generation will only know this format.
Face it, it's happening.
PSG, Bayern and Dortmund behind the scenes have already agreed. There unique situations are why they have shyed away from the initial backlash
Sadly I can't disagree with you
100% fact, everybody hates change but this change was happening since decades. Fans will eventually move on and enjoy the matches as they do today.
It will kill the sport. The new competition has no excitement. No jeopardy. Boring.
@@tevildo45 They will create excitement by scripting matches and results like the US sports do.
" Never walk alone". Then tells you they hate you and walk off.

Not true, arsenal fairs cup winners 1970, cup winners cup 1994, also the gunners were the first london club to get to champions league final.
Why are Man City a European Super Club for then?

@@thebossman222 City fan I'm with you on this
What's.wrong.with.non.league
i initially thought when they said breakaway they where talking about breaking away from their respective leagues also. This seems totally different from the past as the clubs themselves have released statements and seem to know the financial implications and factored everything in, so why would they be bluffing?
Simon Jordan is a class act, he cracks me up every time.
If Sky was getting exclusive coverage... they would have a different take on this 😏
Would help if the clubs released a statement to the fans why they have accepted this deal would help
It's been good guys. Mad to think how quickly I've numbed to something that made me feel so much and such strong emotions. I'm not really bothered how Liverpool do now. Good luck! I know the sentiment is shared.

@ceejay1872 #55 if everyone walks out the stadium and stops watching the team goes bankrupt the clubs are owned by fans they are just ran by money hungry wankers
@@zacward9124 unsubscribing to sky sports, bt sport etc, that's the way to hurt them.
@ceejay1872 #55 If you don't give your money to these assholes, they will start eating the costs. None of these bastards are funding these teams out of love. They do it because they find it more profitable to exploit the team's fans. If those fans stop giving the team money and stage marches in front of the stadiums etc, that will have an effect. Because make no mistake, these rich assholes can handle a big loss of revenue but they don't like to do so. They will bail as soon as their evil plan stop working and they move on to the next platform they can exploit.
These clubs have just seen the pound sign and don't care about anything else like the fans. It's shocking. It's like taking everything you love in your life and killing it. Shocking.
Yes he is, no idea who he is though
Jordan is right in my opinion. Its a long term strategy to edge Fifa and Uefa out of the position of power. They want a better deal.
I like Jordan's insight on this, because of his past experience and knowledge on these types of dealings. However, we will have to see if this really is more of a power play or not, but I do think Jordan is on to something here.
I said this from the start, it is a power struggle.
I can't wait to see what transfers will be like. These clubs got the top players already. We will be talking half a billion transfers very soon. Scary stuff
Scary not to play for your country
@@janlievens6964 not if your english🤣
I hope not many "big" players stay with these clubs.
Imagine the wages. Martial is on 200k a week now and is bang average. Wont be long before someone gets 1mil a week.
To all those footballers who play at the so called big six football clubs, grow a pair and come out and say what you are thinking about this ridiculous suggestion. This proposal won’t happen and footballers reputations will be tarnished forever if they don’t speak out.
As much as I agree fans could stop this, the problem is they won’t. If everyone in the uk said they wouldn’t watch or pay for it, it’s merely a drop in the ocean compared to the money coming in from the global markets. The premier league began the business side of football, which had its merits let’s not all forget that, but the problem is once that ball began rolling it was never gonna stop. In business there is no such thing as “enough money” and the game will continue to get ripped apart and commercialised as long as there is a market for it.
Football is not yet dead, but it’s on its last legs
Love this idea I have seen this coming for years !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Barca, Madrid and a few other big Europeans club are broke so I get why they’re into the idea of this but I don’t understand why PL clubs are so onboard ?
Jordan was bang on the money.
The clubs have left the ECA and have even made a european super league website.
They clearly think that they can pull this off and get away with it.
People are saying "hows it going to work if psg, bayern and dortmund are not in it" but they'll be pressured into it
Thank you for having sense and logic
Maybe Sky might start sharing the TV money between the UK leagues a bit more fairly since the English league has been massively devalued
11 of the 12 clubs have accepted responsibility for the super league, but Liverpool say its not their fault
I’m not sure whether I should be concerned or have hope from that. I really hope our club doesn’t join this mess of a tournament, we are a proud historic club and I don’t want to see us join the European Shitty League
John Henry exactly
The six clubs should all be thrown out of the league and given a transfer ban for the next five years.
Disgusting, money grabbing excuses for football clubs they are. Their fans must be devastated.
Really glad I listened to this. Those that can afford to pay insane wages affect those that can't. He's absolutely spot on with his analysis there. There's probably a parallel with London house prices and foreign investment.
Simon is spot on. This is reality.
The thing the so called big 6 don’t remember is they need the smaller clubs to develope the talent that people tune in to watch. Ban any transfer business with these teams and see how quickly the league falls flat
These "pig 6" are actually dictating and not the pl, fa, uefa or fifa and not the other way around...no wonder them 6 went ahead with this
They should cap players salary, transfer fees, agent fees etc thats a good start.
Liverpool’s 6 Euro titles gone , Chelsea’s and uniteds. And spurs Audi cup also removed
Why? Coz Gary neville said so
@@lefthandlee No, because the govening bodies of these competitions will most likely strip those clubs of any previous titles once this goes ahead.
Audi cup 😂😂🙃
Not the Audi cup! They’ll give up this crazy ESL idea first ..😁
Relief for spurs Audi Cup is safe now. Super league cancelled
That's why Everton is the people's club...
The big clubs are just creating a monopoly of football clubs.
It's been like that since about 2000 only it was 3 teams, Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool.
Same thing happened in 1992 when all the big clubs left to form the PL. Disgraceful, the game has never been the same since.
It wasn't the same thing though was it? Yes 22 teams signed up to big TV deals and more money, no one can deny that. But there has always been jeopardy, the super league had no Relegation or promotions. Look at those 22 clubs in 1992, how many of those are still in the Premier league? And how many more have had the opportunity to play in it?
If its about players wages, as the biggest clubs with all the power, why don't they try and force a wage which would allow them to profit more?. That would help everybody else. I don't think it can just be about players wages because surely they are one of the main reasons wages are so high.
The premier leagues needed a salary cap years ago
IT WILL BE STOPPED and all those teams must be put back to the 4th tier of football pyramid
Man City
Man Utd
Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
Tottenham
All can go back to football league 2
And start again

The problem you have with american owners is the mindset. In american sporting leagues, the league is controlled by the owners and the chairman/commisoner of the leaugue is essentially there employee. They want to have the same model in football... hence the ESL. They will never be able to get that kind of control with the current arrangement
It started in the early 90s lets not kid ourselves. From 1960-65 you had 6 different title winners and like 14 different to finish in the top 5 teams. From 2015-2021 you have had basically only 5 teams PLUS Leacisters the Miracles in the top 5. They destroyed the game years ago.

All this stinks, they are going to Americanise the game of football.
This show needs to be put out as a podcast.
I am not a Palace fan but have heard the immense articulacy and knowledge of Simon and Steve Parish, the current Chairman of Palace.
They must have been fascinating discussions when Simon handed over the reins...
FIFA, UEFA, the FA, PL, all these organisations have bent over for the likes of United and Liverpool, as well as other so called “elite clubs” in Europe, for years and years. The current format is bent, never mind this new one. I’ve been a season ticket holder at City since the 1990s and never have been so disillusioned with the game. The sad thing is when UEFA and the cartel of elite clubs tried to illegally throw us out of the competition, I thought we would retain the moral high ground, now we’ve jumped into bed with the same clubs that have ruined football for everyone.
I'm not a football fan but understand world economics and how the elitists work. Simon is spot on what a clever guy. It's business at the end of the day. If you kick the 6 teams out your giving them what they want even faster.

Lost in all of this is that they signed Friday to agree to the new Champions League structure. To sign a deal and do this less than 48 hours later is just something else...

If the European Super league goes a head all those Teams won't have one Fan between them. And if players turn their backs on it as well. Its a Dead Duck.
Oh, but Florentino Perez said that 4 billion would have watched it! _ _ _ Only, 4 billion happens to be more than half the population of the entire Earth! Only a delusional fool would think that anywhere close to that sort of number will ever watch football in total, never mind that just a fraction of the real total of football fans would have watched the European Shite League, or whatever it was going to be called! Loads of fans of included clubs were threatening to boycott it, virtually no fans of excluded clubs would have watched it and many neutrals would have soon tired of the dull, repetitive nature of it! Also, many of the sad, plastic, glory hunters, who have latched onto most of the ESL clubs (sometimes to the displeasure of their long term fans!), would have drifted off to pastures new, as their chosen club's supply of silverware dried up!
The World series was named after a sponsoring Newspaper called The World. Nothing to do with teams from around the world.
