Sport is a subject that we do not comment on \u2013 we believe that politics and sport should always be separated<\/p>\n

Yet the orchestrated furore in the media \u2013 the apocalyptic statements from footballs \u201cgoverning\u201d bodies makes us ask the question \u2013 why \u2013 and in whose name do they claim to represent?<\/p>\n

The proposal from the large European clubs \u2013 is a natural progression from a process that started in the 1990\u2019s \u2013 and at face value is simply abandoning one tournament the European Champions League and replacing it with a European Super League.<\/p>\n

Let us not forget, it was the largest and best supported English clubs that decided unilaterally <\/strong>in 1992 to break away from the century old Football League \u2013 and who got the \u201cold school brigade\u201d at the Football Association to back and legitimise their break-away.<\/p>\n

There was no \u201cfans debate\u201d allowed \u2013 no government involvement \u2013 when the football match rights were taken from the free to air terrestrial channels and taken to a subscription only service. \u00a0No one cared then \u2013 if fans could afford these new costs or not.<\/p>\n

Since its inception \u2013 the Premier League \u2013 in its quest for money \u2013 has found more and more success \u2013 increasing its broadcasting revenues at each new round of contracts.\u00a0 They even have the arrogance unlike the NFL in the United States \u2013 to only count appearances and goals since its inception \u2013 in its self-satisfying statistics \u2013 honours and goals scored in the previous competition \u2013 completely ignored.<\/p>\n

Financially the breakaway was a success for all its participants \u2013 but at the \u201csporting expense\u201d of clubs outside of the League \u2013 who no longer have the financial ability to compete fairly based on 2 \u201cclever rules\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Money distribution from the Premier League to its members \u2013 is so vast \u2013 that it has created a self-perpetuating system \u2013 where at the start of each season, you basically know, which six clubs may get relegated \u2013 and then re-promoted (Norwich promoted 2019, relegated 2020, promoted 2021\u2026.)<\/li>\n
  2. Financial Fair Play \u2013 which was \u201csold to the masses\u201d as a way of keeping clubs away from bankruptcy \u2013 where ownership was limited to how much they could invest based on an \u201cimposed\u201d formula \u2013 which is morally and commercially wrong \u2013 like saying to the rivals of the Apple company \u2013 that based on their past performance and financial results \u2013 they could only invest X% \u2013 regardless of their own Board of Directors decision.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, it amazes us to hear Klopp ask \u2013 would Liverpool fans like to watch them play Real Madrid 10-years running\u2026at the moment \u2013 due \u2013 to financial restraints against the non-Premier League clubs \u2013 they have played Burnley for 6-straight years\u2026. soon to be 7\u2026<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Moving onto the media onslaught led by Sky* (now owned by the Globalists Comcast \/ NBC) \u2013 so now no longer the owner of the great cycling team \u2013 where we have witnessed two days of broadcasting hysteria in opposition to the European Super League \u2013 where its pundits are being given \u201cfree reign\u201d to attack the proposal \u2013 declaring it is against the fan\u2019s intertests\u2026.as if they have been elected to speak for the true fans\u2026<\/p>\n

    But we do wonder why? Is it because the Comcast globalists \u2013 are worried that their \u201ccash cow\u201d the Premier League will be worth less with the ESL introduction \u2013 are they worried that their investments will have to increase\u2026that \u201cbigger boys\u201d like Amazon will take the cherry from the top of the cake?<\/p>\n

    Whatever the real reason we hope that the ownership of the ESL founding members remember the broadcaster who led the \u201cattacks\u201d and extracts a hefty price for this \u2013 during the next broadcasting bidding round. \u00a0No tears will be shed amongst us Populists with the demise of the Globalist Comcast.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Finally, UEFA \u2013 the organisation that has profited on splits within its member countries \u2013 to make itself a billion-dollar organisation. \u00a0The organisation which is launching attacks against the European Super League \u2013 for one sole purpose \u2013 to keep the money themselves.<\/p>\n

    The organisation had already in our view \u2013 contaminated the ethos of sporting fairness \u2013 when it changed its original conception idea \u2013 of a tournament for the winner of each national league \u2013 where on a \u201cfree\u201d draw \u2013 anyone could play anyone.<\/p>\n

    Instead \u2013 to earn more revenue \u2013 that concept was changed \u2013 smaller countries had to play matches in earlier rounds (to remove them from the competition faster) \u2013 whilst the larger richer members \u2013 could have multiple entries \u2013 all starting at a later stage of the competition \u2013 where the prize money was greater.<\/p>\n

    And now UEFA \u2013 has been out \u201cUEFA\u2019ed\u201d.<\/p>\n

    No one from the ESL founding clubs is saying they cannot keep their \u201cChampions League\u201d \u2013 just that the founding clubs no loner wish to participate. And what is wrong with that?<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s not forget 1999 when the FA (in its efforts to win the 2006 World Cup \u2013 which as always failed) and FIFA persuaded Manchester United to pull out of the F.A Cup \u2013 so instead they had to play in FIFA latest money-making opportunity \u2013 the ill-conceived World Club championship. \u00a0\u00a0So, neither FIFA or our own FA can ever say, they stand for sporting integrity.<\/p>\n

    We wish the ESL well \u2013 and as our headline says, \u201cwhat goes around comes around\u201d \u2013 and the Premier League, UEFA, FIFA and Comcast may now need to pay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
