Sounds like the ESL is going to be dead in the water given the developments this evening.

Best thing to happen to football in a long, long time.
The EPL and the FA, and EUFA, and FIFA need to take a long look at themselves. They need to realise that these teams are just doing what they've seen those above them have done. The toothless Fair Play thing, and the bottling the big punishments.
Fifa and Eufa taking bribes, the Qatar world cups, the scandals that broke out a few years ago
The FA letting some unfit owners take over teams (the situations with Bolton and Bury).
Now, strip the 6 teams from their league placing. Kick them out before the end of the season. It'll make the league a hell of a lot more interesting (we'd get a 2 horse race for the premier league between Leicester and West Ham), we'd have actual competition at the top of the Premier League that would mean a really exciting mix up the next few years.
Move towards a 50+1 model for all clubs who head towards new ownership (current owners are allowed to avoid this but can't sell the team in full without the fans getting a stake)
It'd level the playing field and make the EPL a hell of a lot more interesting over the next 5 or 6 years.
Might even consider watching it again if this happens .

I don't but it's front page news today. People are ranting and raving about how a proposed new European Super League will destroy domestic football. There is a loud backlash. DAZN are purportedly in the frame to get the broadcasting rights.
If some of the boxing people I know are as avid football fans as they claim, and as anti-ESL as they claim, they will surely be sacking off DAZN immediately. If they don't, they have no credibility.
It’s not even confirmed it’s on DAZN! I would have thought all of the broadcasters will be going after it - including Amazon/DAZN, the traditionals and more.
I love football, I’m anti ESL but its far too premature to be cancelling when there’s frequent good boxing on the platform and the broadcasting deal is still to be confirmed.
How's it premature? They have expressed an interest, no other broadcaster has. If this is to be nipped in the bud it needs to be done quickly.
I don't care about football or boxing really. My general point is that just like PPV boxing, the ESL will happen because the overwhelming majority of people who are bitching about it aren't principled enough to do anything about it other than talk.
I’m glad I didn’t cancel my DAZN subscription now!
On a serious note, I wonder if Eddie was actually thinking that DAZN would get the ESL which would drive, I would have thought, a few million subscribers to DAZN in the U.K. and 10s of millions worldwide. It’s easier then to promote the boxing on DAZN when there’s already a subscriber base but it’s more tricky when people still need to sign up and pay.
