IIRC Super League doesnt start till 2024.

They say that but them greedy phucks got a contingency plan. That shyt is pretty much ready to go. Minus Bayern and PSG that got all the other heavy hitters for a travelling roadshow. They can have a 12 team league in the SPL format play each other 4 times across the global.

I got the setup, what im asking is who are in those really low levels. Are those like minor league teams and those players just play there until a higher level team buys them or are those teams like Paddys Pub Soccer Club and its just a bunch of neighborhood guys on a squad. For example would National League North be equivalent to AA baseball in the minor leagues here in the states.
The top 4 leagues are fully professional as well as a good few in the fifth tier.

All clubs have histories of 100+ years and even some in the 4th tier attracting 5,000+ fans a game

You can't really compare the structure will Baseball as the lower a clubs are all farm clubs and have a goal of developing players for the MLB club.

I saw on Goonersweb that UEFA are trying to pass a law saying that teams in the Federation should be 51 percent owned by the fans, like in the Bundesliga. And that was a big factor in the 12 clubs moving so fast with this.

I'm all for the 51 percent thing.
Bro, they couldn't even do FFP. Its too late.
