jonathan Wilson's take that the super league teams could actually join the football league and then rule over the premier league is actually quite good

When you think about it, the super league would be a competition where arsenal and spurs would be continually humiliated, their delusional aspirations finally stamped into the ground for good as they are forever in last place, the laughing stock of the league

I will say I have no skin in this game but I do find football interesting since it is the world's game. A lot of people would only watch the game once or twice a year at home or in a bar this is the sort 'fan' the clubs' owners are eyeing at. Most people in non-football markets have only heard of a few big name teams like the ones in the Super League and if they can plaster those names all the time for game fixtures then that is a huge win for them.

Legacy might not be the best word but it defines people who deeply care about their game and built an important part of their lives around it. Club owners only care about the money and they are using the brand name as commodity to sell to larger markets. If you have a better adjective, I would use it.

Thanks for coming into the football forums and educating us about the current state of football op. some real eye opening stuff. we will get right on coming up with a better adjective for you.

I've stopped watching because all the bars are shut and tv subscriptions are a ripoff i don't want to pay more for on top of already existing subscriptions and non-dodgy streams that wont install malware or bitcoin miners are hard to find. I catch motd or other highlights now and then. Not sure my experience is that unique either, they've really killed the desire/ability of lots of people to watch

Finding free high quality streams is incredibly easy op

These clubs have MASSIVE followings outside of England that aren't fully capitalized upon because the matches are at weird times and the big clubs "don't play each other enough". If I'm in debt (or even if I'm not and have a large following outside of England) why not get the free money from those fans from a new TV deal catered to US and China?

While yes this accelerates the timeline of "football is ruined!", I'm not sure how exactly getting these plans scrapped helps. SL is cancelled and then everyone is happy that football is saved? The teams in the Super League already have a payroll 10x higher than most of the other teams they play in their leagues. And the difference has been growing over the last 20 years. Super League will just get this up to a 20x difference in payroll done in 2021 instead of waiting until 2030.
