I honestly dont know and that is te truthful answer.

Id probably still check the results, but apart from that i dont think i woud be a supporter, or even a follower, id probably be a checker...

I'd be done, many analogies on here about it feeling like a cheating spouse.
Hard fact is, they, who already signed up, don't care about the fans who love the club.
It's going to be difficult to enjoy the rest of the season, what is the point now anyway?

I would see no point really.

No interest in the Prem as we wouldn’t need to win anything. Already in Europe and more than minted. Anyway Prem games would basically be training games.

As for the Super League - I’ve no interest in watching my team playing the same few teams every few weeks.

My thoughts are, if this goes ahead, that it will end up with the older stars playing for their final payday. A bit like Becks and Rooney moving to the US.

Not for me.

Whilst I don't want this to happen, I know that after watching Leeds since 1969, I'd be in the "I don't like it, but they're my team", so I would watch it.

Liverpool supporters club Dubai are pro super league, the bloke talked about nothing but money, says it all.

I posted this a little earlier elsewhere.
"I think the ESL is just the beginning of this project. We will see one of a half a dozen clubs winning it each year. I believe this will eventually (fifteen years +) grow into a world league, with clubs owned by the mega rich in China, Europe, Middle East and USA. The Premier League in every country will become the equivalent of League 2, where the top two clubs get promotion to the lowest "World League". I do hope I'm wrong though".

That’s my issue! It’s a meaningless contest and it makes the PL meaningless as well.

If it goes ahead the best thing is to kick them out and reboot. Money will be less but at least it will still be competitive.

No relegation this season. 3 up.

Sorted.

Let them stick their “Super Shiny League where it won’t shine

And if that's the future I won't enjoy it.

Plenty of other sports out there that I enjoy and they will remain sports, not exhibitions.

Yes and support my local team Macclesfield Town who will be in the eighth tier next season due to a greedy dishonest foreign owner.
I would support a new Leeds being reformed and starting again in the lower reaches too rather than support a club that joins the selfish souless Devil league.

Completely agree, it was almost a closed shop before, but we could still dream. Now they have locked the door.
And even if any team were promoted to the shiney league, they would be so far behind, it would be a pointless exercise.

Wouldn't want Leeds to be any part of this and would no longer watch them.

Occasionally go to Irish League games to watch Linfield and would become a season ticket holder if it ever did happen.

One of my best mates is a Liverpool fan and heard nothing from him last night, text him today and his answer 'couldn't give f**k'

posted on 20/4/21

Everyone is shell shocked and everyone needs to realise fully that the owners don't care about any fans, including their own.
I can't see anything other than government intervention preventing this.
The backlash from football worldwide needs to be meteoric!
I don't think many realise that the whole pl season just collapsed... wtf

I thought about it and the answer is a strong YES. I would be done. Supporting another team, not an option.

^^^

I'm in this camp also.

I thought Bielsa's after match comments about this whole sorry episode were very moving.

"When other teams are no longer necessary for them, they take privilege in their own interests and forget about the rest."

posted on 20/4/21

I think I'd probably go to supporting a local team, like Guiseley, or Farsley instead of just giving up on football completely.

Yes, I would somehow give up following Leeds if they committed to anything like this.

Fans in Dubai? The Myanmar tour was a taste of this weirdness. Other clubs playing in China. Us playing Man U in Oz - all very weird. It's clear now that owners don't give a toss about the club's traditional fanbases, let alone the rest of the pyramid.

Disagree completely that Johnson, a clown prince of the greed-is-good ideology, is sufficiently competent to sort this out for the better. Or FIFA/UEFA/FA/PL who are all a bunch of steaming hypocrites.

The only people who can stop this are the players and the coaches.

Kick greed out of football, as well as racism!

I was so excited for the game against you last night. Was a huge game for us against a team that I enjoy watching and expected two teams going at it. Was pumped all week for it.
After the news broke on Sunday night, I couldn't have cared less. I saw the team news and that was it. Didn't watch it. Had no interest in the result or how we played. Just completely numb to it as it meant nothing. We could lose every game and come 10th this season and still be part of the ESL next season. What is the point of anything that now happens this season? That is a glimpse into how I will view Liverpool and football in the future and it is painfully sad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel for you!

Not sure how I'd be. Know I'd be p'd off as hell that my team had betrayed the fans and put profit ahead of competition and the game.

On balance, I think I'd probably switch off from the club for a long time. No financial contributions. Not bother following the games, but like some would keep an eye on scores.

I hope they all pull out of this before it festers more. It's going to be tough for fans to trust them even if that happens.

It’s left a nasty taste for me.

One that am struggling to get rid of.

Think I’d be out

I'm starting to hope the Prem calls the 6's bluff.

Tell them to fuq off. You're out of the Prem. Go play
in your rich tw 4 tz annual invitational. If they choose to leave behind a massive chunk of their own histories, so what. That's their decision and they'll suffer the consequences from their own fans backlash. Or not.

Regardless, tell them you're not welcome here nor welcome back. They can't be trusted now anyway.

Then maybe the Prem and League can reset the 4 divisions and reduce the number of teams in each one.
There are plenty of great clubs who can fill the void
over time.

I don't think I'd watch them anymore, I'd keep my Handy,(Mobile to you's!)so it tells me when goals are scored and look in now and then to see how they're doing!..

But I wouldn't go out of my way to find them like I do now!..

I'd pack it in too

My memories of this club shouldn't be tarnished,
