Infantino speaks

And nails it in a nutshell. The last sentence says it all

“It is my task and our task to protect the European sports model, club competitions, national teams. If they choose to go their own way, they must live with their choice. They are either in or out. They cannot be half in and half out.”
 
It is one of the interesting side-shows of this whole pantomine...having FIFA and UEFA indignant about the lack of integrity...

Pot, meet kettle.
 
I agree - but alas when both organizations have shown so many times that they believe themselves above the very game itself...Sepp Blatter or Michel Platini anyone...it is a bit hard not to laugh at their po-faced response.
 
And sadly...whilst I assume the "bung" comment was a throw-away line...there is a sad underlying ring of truth about it. They have not been offered a slice of the cake and they are furious.
 
Blimey - "Roofers have discussion and agree with each other on certain points" shocka...

This whole Sooooper Doooper League is shifting the earth on its axis!
 
The Super League is just a get out of debt plan anyway. JP Morgan fund the debt and in return, the Super League provides a profitable product to enable the repayments to the financers. So they have to bypass any regulators (UEFA/FIFA), to make this farce happen.

It is also a Brexit for football.
 
This is very much a case of, to paraphrase, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'

The powerful minority in all walks of life depend on the whataboutery squabbling of the weaker majority
