Arsenal have embarrassed me a supporter of them. I am ashamed to be a supporter. Except I'm not a supporter am I? I am a flipping customer.
What a kick in the teeth for grassroots football and for the clubs outside these 6 clubs.
I understand there are some who support this decision, but please tell me how this is fair? How can we say we should be guaranteed a spot in this tourmament. It should be done on sporting merit and sporting merit alone. If we aren't in it then its because we aren't good enough. If we aren't good enough then maybe little Kroenke should change his management of the club and ensure we have the capabilities to compete.
Is this an April Fools Joke that is 3 weeks too late? Please please tell me that it is.
If there was ever a time you were allowed to change clubs then this is it. Yes I know these clubs have customers (and I will now call us customers, not fans) abroad, but sometimes making a stand is worth it and justified even if you are in the minority.
I pray to god these plans are scuppered and if they are we need to do everything we can to ensure that any future attempts to harm this game in such a way is prevented.
Disgrace of a football club who has been bought out by an American who has no knowledge of the game, cares nothing about his customers and only thinks about the size of his wallet.
Shameful and disgusting.
I am ashamed and embarrased with our club

- Well an insider said the owners were fully expecting a backlash but they will ride it
- Some of the club board members are not happy about this, but it's all pushed by the club owners
- The owners prefer to not let their players play too many games so they are not fussed if they get banned from the PL, Euros, World cup
- Priority is about profit and revenue, the wider good of the game is secondary
- They will prioritise the super league games, so they would field weaken teams in the PL games

This is so stupid I can totally believe it 😅
So they didn't factor in that top players may want to play in an actual recognised league campaign? They may want to represent their country? They may want to win a CL they dreamed about, where the best teams qualify?
It's madness. I still think it's a dangerous I'll advised bluff as they must've had lawyers go over this stuff in so much detail. Hate to think what that alone would've cost.

Maybe they think that the players would just care about the money and won't care about anything else.

It’s just turned football into content as opposed to a competition

Money talks, and if they can take the sheep-like followers of the game with them they can make a boatload in a secure protected monopoly with this plan - I wouldn’t be so sure that they can’t make this happen. 😕

Arsenal Supporter's Trust should write a letter finishing with "thank you for your interest in our support".

I got that. Nice
They have released a strongly worded statement, so that's good.

Kroenke is proving himself to be one of the biggest CAANNNTTTSSS who ever walked the face of the earth.
The same goes for the owners of the other 5 clubs
Its not about the football competition. Its about the £350; million pounds to be made.
Arsenal have paid their dues and got in metaphorically speaking
They want a midweek competition alongside being in the PL.

Also knowing kroenke and how he viewed top 4, he will be perfectly happy to see us finish in bottom 3 of super league year after year and take his profits. Why invest the money to make us compete at the top end when you’re guaranteed a śhît load of money either way. With Top 4, he just wanted us in there, never showed any ambition past that. It’ll be the same in the prem, why bother ever driving the team to win the league when we get super league every season.
For most of these owners it’s all about money, they won’t care who wins the super league. Maybe Arsenal will end up imploding the whole super league, because we’ll play such śhît boring football that no one will tune in
