Come on nowa couple of teams might change, Juve might miss out for the first time in how long, you know the point I am making. It is the same teams from qfs onwards every year almost, you can pick 10 teams and will hit on 6/7 at least, it's just a shyt argument especially when the new CL format is increasing the gap between the haves and have nots. Again I hate both ideas, I am a massive advocate of more places being given to the lesser champions and I would happily see the Prem's places reduced to 3 or even 2 even though it would mean us missing out more regularly probably because that's what I want to see more variety and different teams not the same shyt every year.
I agree re constant expansion of CL by Uefa but this ESL idea is
As predictable as the CL may be, every few years we get the Monacos, Ajaxes, Porto etc who wouldn't feature in the ESL. There's always the possibility of Ajax giving a team like Real the beats
The ESL will just be the start, if these Americans have their way we would probably have 4 quarters with loads of ads in between and hardly any football

Yh depending on how this turns out I might have to boycott out of principle, a bunch of capitalist American billionaires and JP Morgan re-directing football
If they get rid of pro/rel get ready for player movement to plummet because these billionaires won't have to spend so much money to stay competitive. For that reason alone this super league idea sucks.

Come on now
I see your point, and yeah let's say we did what you suggested and limit the places for let's say all the top 5 leagues to 2 spaces each. We then give them extra spaces out to other leagues who normally fall at like the qualifying rounds or leagues who don't get places to make it more fairer all round.
From the qfs we would still have the same teams each year and it would be the ones from the top 5 leagues every time
Do you think one of the lesser leagues say like the Romanian league or Belarus league is going to have a team get past the top teams once it get to the knockout stages ?

I don't like either idea I just think it's ridiculous talking about closed shops when the CL practically is and is what FFP was designed to do.I agree re constant expansion of CL by Uefa but this ESL idea is

You will still see much more variety and I think that with the added money those teams and leagues are getting (due to solidarity payments, etc) you will eventually see the gap lessen.
