Supposedly the Chels players told the club they wouldn't play for it anymore if they got banned from internationals.

Also I'm copy/pasting this from the Guardian as a counter to all the fuckers who say "oh well the super league would appeal to Asian fans so therefore..."

quote:

The view from India: “I’ve seen a lot of people saying ‘The fans living in Asia or Africa will LOVE seeing Real Madrid playing Manchester City every week for 23 years’ as a point against the ESL,” writes Arvasu Kulkarni. “Well, that could not be further from the truth. I live in India, and watch Manchester United on the telly every chance I get.

“I love that club as much as the people who live in Manchester and are lucky enough to be able to go to Old Trafford every week. I shed tears of joy when Scott McTominay scored the winner in the Derby last March that were just as real as the screams of joy that rung in Old Trafford. And I was just as disgusted and heartbroken when the announcement was made on Sunday. And it wasn’t just me. Everyone I know who watches football hates this idea. We’re a group of people who may never even get to see our teams (like United, Barcelona or Chelsea) play live in Europe and we still despise this idea.

“We don’t know what it feels like to be a season-ticket holder, or what it is like to go to your first game with your father. But we know the ESL’s only aim is to destroy football. The reason we stay up to 12:30am to watch United play out a soulless 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad is because we know what football is about, even if we live thousands of miles away, and we know that the ESL forgets all that. It forgets you, the fans in England, and it forgets us, the fans who stay up late into the night to watch the teams you built only for us to be derided as ‘plastic’ and ‘not real fans’ in the ESL conversation.” Thanks Arvasu.

because gently caress anybody, from posters in this thread up to and including florentino perez, who thinks fans from around the world are easily distracted by some new shiny thing and don't reject this as the greedy bullshit that it is

Ya this is them taking the cowards way out just like Chelsea. Chelsea blames the players, Barca is putting it on the fans.

Thank you for making the right decision Man City even if for the wrong reasons. Although from what I read Chelsea and Man City felt pressured into this becuase they didn't want to miss out so them being the first two to bail seems right.

If the ESL fails before it gets off the ground are Madrid/Barca going to appeal directly to UEFA for more money? The way I've been reading this is that clubs are doing this out of either exceptional greed or desperation due to current debt loads.

Surely their next move is to say "give us more money or else some of the most popular clubs among plastics will fail depriving UEFA of the same money"
