Just read the EPL statement about the ‘integrity of the sport’ - maybe should have thought of that before allowing the financial doping at the top end? Interesting that PSG (last I saw) weren’t involved...probably don’t need the money, tho.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Really good from Neville, this is the full segment:
It’s not. There are lots of clubs who are professional whom would not be classed as “big”. What is “big” really anyway ? Money I guess.
I'm totally against this in principle. But then again, I have no principles.
If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.
And if / when it does, I'd much rather Spurs be in it, than left on the sidelines with local derbies against Fulham and Palace our season highlights.
It's gotta be said. Hat's off to Mr Levy for securing our place at the top table if indeed that turns out to be the case.
In fact, the anti - Levy frenzy being whipped up over this is really quiteenjoyable alarming

The French and German clubs have apparently all declined (the German clubs have their fan ownership that would stop it as well).
So if this goes through and you want to watch teams outside of it. There's the Bundesliga and Ligue 1.
Give it a rest Neville. You will be pontificating on Sky next week for your beloved United. The fans needed protecting from City and Chelsea and Leicester for Christ sake. All financially doped. No problem with the glaziers hundreds of millions of pounds of borrowing against United. Absolutely laughable. Deluded.
no one even knows for sure what the proposals are for goodness sake. Even got pricks from Government talking about “fair play” laughable.
Yeah, okay, watching Sky Sports have Neville lament this 'greed' almost makes me want it. The absolute fucking hypocrisy of them considering what Sky set in motion all those years ago is astounding.
It's almost certainly them shitting themselves because they smell lost revenue.

I dislike UEFA but it won’t work out really well if the power simply shifts to an equally corrupt group of people and as a result the game moves further away from grassroots and the ordinary supporter than it already is
This competition would replace UEFA's tournaments, we would still remain in our domestic league.
Absolutely. He's angry be he won't be part of it and nor will Sky in any capacity hopefully.
9:30 comes, and no announcement.
Very possible that Levy logged on to TFC, saw this poll, and backed out. And when Levy announced he was backing out, the rest of the top 6 followed suit.

There should be a third option on the ballot.
I don't support it, but if it happens, we need to be in it.

No it wouldn't. At least not in the currently suggested form.
UEFA still wants to operate the Champions League and Europa League. And the current verdict from UEFA (with the PL, La Liga and Serie A behind them) is that all clubs that join it get thrown out of their domestic leagues.
If they follow through on that is another matter entirely.
Not if as threatened the Premier League kick us out
It would replace our participation in those tournaments. That's what I meant to say.
That’s a great point. Imagine Sky not getting their grubby paws on this after blowing the Champions League.
