Message: [QUOTE="DS3, post: 6022026, member: 407846"] It's strange to watch the furor which that announcement generated. First, this is hardly the first time such a league has been proposed. Second, people are in denial with what has been going on in the Premier League over the last few decades. Of the six Premier League teams signing on to the super league, 5 are owned by foreign entities with the other majority owned by a Brit no longer domiciled in the UK. It is the league which spins the most money in terms of global football and the billionaire owners are not concerned about the fans in any meaningful sense. I am an ex Arsenal fan and Stan Kroenke the owner is based in the States and barely attends a game. I love the Champions League and do not want to see it diminished but football in most European countries (particularly the UK) sold it soul years ago. The fans just want to keep thinking the club somehow belongs to them but that has not been the case for years. [/QUOTE]
