It's interesting that none of the six joining the Super League are that bad as far as wages go. Hell Tottenham at under 39% is kind of startling.

Tottenham has a different major expense occupying their attention right now.

Someday coach Im going to throw for 6 TDs in the Super Bowl.

Sit your ass down Steve.
I'm here and ready for the SL to collapse into a black hole and none of the owners face any repercussions.

I'm hoping Man City back out of this horseshit and then it all falls apart and we can watch Barca and RM whine about going bankrupt.

I saw one analysis that said the proposed Super League model basically takes American sports and makes them even more inequitable because yes, American sports are a closed shop money printer, and yes there's huge disparity between the richest and poorest teams, but also they've at least tried to level the playing field a little bit through things like the draft system prioritizing the worst teams and leaguewide salary caps meaning the richest teams have a little less ability to just buy their way to the top. As a result, good teams come and go, sometimes rich and successful teams turn to poo poo despite having the highest revenue, and even bad teams can eventually win titles. The Super League proposal takes the closed shop money printer and gets rid of the token concessions to fairness, which makes it even more transparently a huge cash grab than the usual American sports structures.

It also doesn't help that all the people behind it keep giving media interviews where they say "yes, actually the point of this is for us to make more money than we currently make."
if this superleague gets off the ground all of those things (draft, salary caps, revenue sharing) will eventually come into it because they further the goal of suppressing wages and reducing financial risk for ownership

the answer is West Ham since they've caused all of this by operating above their station (in places 1-6 in the league)

Don't listen to these success bandwagoning non-legacy fans. Come wallow in both football and economic depression, and support a good1 northeastern team. If you want to know what it's like, I recommend the movie Goal! or the netflix documentary Sunderland Til I Die2 and eventually settling on Gateshead3, Blyth Spartans, Hartlepool4 or Newcastle5!

1 Team will not be good
2 I'm amazed they let them do a second season of this disaster porn
3 Might be bankrupt
4 Get in early and watch promotion hopes get crushed in the playoffs!

Praying the FA come out and say they're cancelling relegation this year. First 3 teams to withdraw get to stay, the other 3 are banished to the nether dimension (national league north/south)

Absolute mindgames. Roman Abramovich doesn't need this as he already has 10 billion dollars so he joined this with the very intention of quitting immediately to gently caress off the other clubs so he can buy his way to 10 consecutive PL titles while they all get expelled.
