I enjoyed all of Gary Neville's passionate rant earlier on and agreed with every word. Linked below in case anyone missed it. Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with him quite so many times...

He is spot onhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP05EDm9EB8

I wonder how quickly we're all going to get kicked out of the PL? Should make for an interesting game tomorrow night now!
No good can come of this at this stage. Either it goes ahead and ends up being a s
tshow, or the clubs involved have to back down, in which case I can imagine there will be some pretty severe consequences!

Or eufa back down and give them what they want. I wonder how quickly we're all going to get kicked out of the PL? Should make for an interesting game tomorrow night now!

So, amongst all the negativity, I wonder what this looks like for us.
No more FA Cup or League Cup I bet which Im not fussed. Neither are what they used to be.
No more Champs League, which being what it is, weve gone through previous iterations, so this feels like another change which weve had before.
Means no more romantic-but-painful trips to lowly East European group stage games to have a 0-0 or knocked out 0-1 on aggregate in the last 16.
Instead every game is high level and we'll get more of the Man U Liverpool matches etc that lets be honest, we really enjoy, and we will get massively increased revenues which, yeah they'll make our owners rich but I'm thinking we'll get a much more secure future. As 'honest' as it was, remember the 8th in the PL, playing Europa League and singing the likes of PFK isn't exactly somewhere I want to go back to.
However I totally respect the sentiments of those who hate this. And understand it.

We don’t need massively increased revenues, that benefits no one apart from the owners and players/agents
Sod that.
I’d much rather win less but have a competitive league where I worry about and want to celebrate beating Burnley and WBA as well as the “big clubs”.
Maybe the club won’t care but I won’t pay to watch the games and won’t buy a shirt every other season to play in on a Saturday morning.
It sucks balls and I fking hate it

You would still get to celebrate beating WBA and Burnley as the PL continues.Sod that.

I can’t see how you can love the club and not be dead against this. It won’t stop here. I bet the end goal is a franchise system like the NFL and NBA where they can just pick up the team and move. We also won’t be playing domestic football, the FA and premier league have made that clear. So it is super league and that is it.

Those big games will be far less special if they're happening all the time. And they'll be a bit meaningless if you don't have the risk of being dumped out by a minnow club, for whom it makes a huge difference and will be remembered by their fans on their deathbeds sort of results.

I think if we do play badly then we should be back to Europa League or non-European football if we don't deserve it by being good enough.
And unless people make their voices hear the owners will ignore it. Only way is to talk about it, and stop giving them money. The issue is it's a bit harder now - no chance to boycott the games due to corona, and even if you stop watching games on TV it's only the TV companies that might feel it until it comes to time to renegotiate... by which time this will all have worked out anyway.

Football is about open competition. And jeopardy. Repeated games against the same European teams are utterly pointless when it doesn't matter who wins and who loses, and no-one is in danger of leaving or joining. I want to see us play games against whoever it might be, who got there on merit.No more FA Cup or League Cup I bet which Im not fussed. Neither are what they used to be.
