Absolutely repulsive to think about
Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!
PSG's owner is on the UEFA executive committee so that might have been a conflict of interest.
Also, the German Clubs are majority owned by the fans, so there's that too...
The PL was just a rebranded First Division, with a nicer trophy and sleeker TV coverage.
The Premier League are against the idea of an ESL because the American owners/executives/board members of the "Big 6" clubs have been using it as a barging chip to consolidate their clubs' statuses in the EPL.
It should, though. The US is one country, with a single economic structure, a homogeneous sporting culture, etc.
A Europe wide American-style system could end up being a mess.
Lol as bad as UEFA, EPL, LL etc are at hording money, the ESL will be 10 times worse.
Also, to your final point, I disagree. The meritocracy of soccer is what makes it so interesting.
This whole European Super League idea is nasty.

It's really not though because it just increases places for bigger teams/leagues (they talking about 6 teams from some leaguesIt is still better than the format they are trying to introduce as it is based on merit and is not a closed book format
if you have a bad season you don't get into the next season which is similar to the relegation \promotion format we have in all leagues format
Personally I wouldn't change anything keep it all like it is
Have to say
to PSG , Bayern Munich and Dortmund for all saying no to this
super league idea
) and still shuts out champions of the smaller leagues, I'm really not interested in this new CL format unless those places going outside the BIg 5 leagues. Like I said I'm not a fan of a super league but if it's a choice between 2 money grabs which they both are, the shyt new CL or us going it alone with the other clubs and the money on offer it's an easy one to make.

Bullshyt...we will watch regardless bc at the end of the day, the quality of football being played will be top drawer...I'm done if this super league shyt happens
Champions League itself is welfare football. You know which teams usually compete truly for it with a winning chance ? The teams that signed up for this super league bar the German/French teams currently holding out.
if you a top team, would ok with the UEFA taking 50-60 million to give to a team for participating that didn’t contribute 10% of the revenue you brought to the competition? And that’s not counting the money UEFA holds out for miscellaneous purposes.
Players however might want to oppose it bc a Salary Cap would definitely be in their future

The rebels will wither and die. And we shall dance on their graves.
For starters all the South Americans will leave straight away when FIFA bans rebellious players from inter international football. A World Cup or a Libertadores is worth 10x more to them than any European trophy, never mind some Mickey Mouse crap. They will just go to PSG or Bayern to maintain their salaries.
The World Cup is still by far the pinnacle of football. Why? Because billions of casuals watch it, and they know literally nothing about the sport. They tune in for an exercise in nationalism, not for the quality of the football. They can't tell the difference between some non-league hack and Cronaldo, they'll watch it regardless of who is playing and how good they are. Because its the colours and the national flags that matter to the casual viewer, not the skills on display. And that's where the money gets made. Advertisers care far more about getting a commercial in a World Cup broadcast than they do being the official condom of Manchester United.
These rebel clubs will be crushed like the insects that they are, like when Crassus beat Spartacus and crucified every last one of the rebellious gladiators along the Appian Way

i just saw the headline.. my 1st impression is that i hate it. i want to see smaller clubs play the big boys and sometimes teams such as Man U. are flabby and don't deserve to be apart of anything.

For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
To be honest I much prefer it to fifa. The game mechanics etc. They don't feel like they're skating on grass and it's solid tbh
