The European Super League Megathread

tbh warrior me too or better yet it would be better if teams like ajax or some teams from french leagues or even teams from serie a who are not part of this circus can get more UEFA CL actions because in the end - prestige > money and fans will choose UEFA CL anyday ahead of super league

i still cant believe that top clubs wants to sign for super league because they guarantee "economic sustainability" ... and completely forgetting where they come from .... also the whole agenda to have very selective exclusivity only for top clubs who pretty much govern the competition is an insult to small clubs.

they forget that small clubs are directly responsible for where they are at now. eh... am still disgusted that milan also wants to be part of this ...

I am proud to announce that in the last breath of Bartomeu as Barca president, he has embraced the idea of a Super League

"Yesterday we accepted the requirement to participate in a future European Super League that will guarantee the economic sustainability of the club."


Single handedly ruined the club and all competition. Absolute legend

Finally

UEFA President, Ceferin: “Super League is Florentino Perez's dream. The idea of those who care about today's football and not tomorrow. Two Barcelona's main presidential candidates have spoken out publicly against and Bayern, Juventus and English clubs are also against.”

The main exciting thing about CL is that these teams dont play on a daily basis. If that cuck Perez wants ESL to be the only competition RM plays in the future, then fuck him and fuck all those greedy fucks. Spanish leauge without RM makes no sense.

"Real Madrid and JP Morgan just now financed a debt for renovation of Bernabeu.

ESL will be financed by JP Morgan and Perez have excellent relations with the firm and all of the big clubs in Europe."


Always knew Real madrid would be the main driving force behind ruining the sport.

European Super League: Five English clubs sign up to breakaway league in challenge to UEFA plans

Breaking | 5/6 English clubs, 3 Spanish clubs & 3 Italian clubs are set to announce the creation of a European Super League this evening, according to @LatourBertrand - there would be no French nor German sides in the competition, UEFA crisis meeting apparently currently ongoing.

In the coming hours, 12 very big European clubs (the 3 Spanish, the 3 Italians and the English clubs) should formalize the creation of a European Superleague. In its first version there are no French and German clubs. War with UEFA.

It's going to be this or UEFA's new Swiss-style system. More European games is pretty much locked in and the players are going to be wrecked.

What gets me if, none of this is based on sporting reasons at all. It's all money.

Super League is a closed shop. It exists purely to spin money.

New CL format wants four extra teams and plans to give those spots based on "historical merit", so it's a safety net for big clubs who have a poor year.

Arsenal and Spurs have never won the CL. Haven't won a league title in forever. Yet could be in this Super League because they're among the most valuable clubs in the world and have big fanbases. Just doesn't work, does it?

Why the fuck Gazidis signed us up on this? Bald fraud needs to fuck off for this

Anyways, there is no way this thing flies right? I mean, players play for the dream of CL, if clubs are barred from entering CL, i guarantee you, 80% of our squad would bounce.

Not just players, what about managers?

This is pure riot, it seems CEOs got together and had a wank-off, i mean why the fuck would i want to see Barca vs Real every week? Fucks sake, after that year where we had 30 classicos in the span of 10 days, im good for the remainder of my lifetime.

This shit even dilutes these matchups

Fuck Juve and fuck Agnelli, really hope we alide out of this

Calm down numpty

Milan have been on the super league bandwagon as much as Real, Barca, Juve and all other popular teams. With or without Gazidis, this was bound to happen.

UEFA depend on these big clubs than vice versa. It's these big football clubs that drive the revenues and viewership. A breakaway super league will draw way more viewership than a CL without these big clubs. I mean fucking EL has semi decent viewership because Man United play in it.

Club football is heading towards the direction of American sports. Its going to be a closed shop like the NBA, NFL etc. I dont like it but we're heading towards that direction it seems.

Official statement from UEFA about Super League: “The clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other domestic competition, European or International level, and the players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams”. #SuperLeague #Uefa

PL have said they won't give permission to the clubs to join the super league.


This is getting more and more messy.

Well that will put a stop to it. How would UEFA enforce the international ban for non-member states though?

UEFA and Florentino Pérez came to an agreement to change the format of the Champions League and not go on with the Super League project, but Real Madrid's president worked behind the scenes and managed to convince 12 teams. He 'backstabbed' Ceferin. (Source: @abc_deportes) pic.twitter.com/1m2B6e4q6j

A bluff by UEFA that no one can believe, 0 chance that they ban europe's best clubs and players from all competitions. It would be suicide.

The super league was a bad idea 3 years ago when this thread was made and its still a bad idea. I like watching us play Genoa, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Sassuolo, etc. there is history and personality. Most of all there is sporting merit, not a closed system like in american sports. That if it must be a choice of domestic vs super league.

What is clear though is that something needs to change. The money gaps are growing bigger and bigger with globalization and clubs are running away from the competition.

Juventus and Bayern have 9 titles in a row. PSG has lost 1 title in 8 years since becoming QSG. Basically a decade of a single winner in 3 of the top 5 leagues. We have to go back 20 years to Valencia's win to find a Spanish champion outside the big 3, which is mostly a big 2.

Only the PL, with huge money from their TV rights distributed equally has gotten ahead of this problem.

Inevitable that there is a want for change from these clubs. A better way to do it would be for a tiered system with promotion and relegation, with no "founder" status that locks a big clubs in the league regardless of sporting merit.

UEFA is never enforcing any of that. The PL has a better chance of stopping it imo.

ehh? how can they do that without FIFA
sounds like a bluff to me

Hope the FA, LFP and Serie A authorities promptly kick these guys out and forfeit their remaining games

Imagine if UEFA awards PSG the CL.

They forfeit the matches and Inter doesn't get the scudetto after 10 years @Robespierre
