Tottenham supporters should unify in protest of Super League participation
By Gary Pearson
The root of all evil has once again prevailed, leading Daniel Levy to a catastrophic error in judgement as he pledges Tottenham’s commitment to the universally condemned Super League.
Participating teams, in an unimaginable show of greed and selfishness, are set to fill their own coffers to the tune of over £300 million simply for committing to the nefariously concocted Super League. It’s a prime example of capitalism gone mad, exemplifying everything that is wrong with the current versions of football and, on a more macro level, society.
The cash windfall, if the Super League goes ahead, will garner Tottenham four times the amount Bayern Munich received for winning the 2020 Champions League.
JP Morgan, the investment firm with bottomless pockets, will reward handsomely their commitment to a league that will invariably decimate the creed and pedigree of the Champions League, turning it into a far inferior product.
It will more resemble the Europa League while the current version of the Europa League would become a product as undesirable as the thought of Arsenal winning the Premier League.
The gaul and intolerable hubris of Liverpool’s John W. Henry, Joel Glazer of Manchester United and Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, along with primary figurehead Florentino Perez, Real Madrid’s owner, further accelerates my loss of faith in football.
The Fat Cat tycoons got together via covert Zoom calls to conceive of a league that totally forsakes the traditional values football was built on: the right to compete and ascend, by way of promotion, to the next level; the vulnerability to underperform and be relegated. No team in the Super League will ever face the high-stakes threat of relegation or elation of promotion.
Unfortunately Levy, by committing Tottenham to the ghastly money grabber, is guilty by association. But did we honesty expect anything else from our shrewd chairman, who has repeatedly put business before football during his tyrannical rule at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
