European Super League

UEFA and FIFA are corrupt but this is NOT the solution. This is a ploy by billionaire club owners to squeeze more money into their pockets and alienate working class local fans even more. They are also actively harming smaller clubs and lessening their chances of growth immensely with this. This is the peak of corruption, even worse than UEFA and FIFA.

He actually just showed a poll that he himself conducted to 5 nations asking if they support a super league.
72% of italians support it, 71% of french support it, 76% of spaniards support it, 59% of english support it, and 57% of germans support it.

Exactly. 15 clubs with guaranteed 350m per year... 5 others win the lottery.

Then... Nothing. And the gap will get bigger year after year. No more Leicesters...

On Saturday... As soon as Perez waved with money... He apparently turned around and dropped his pants.

Florentino Perez to El Chiringuito: "Barcelona are going through a difficult economic situation, Laporta immediately understood and accepted like all the great clubs in the world. This #SuperLeague will save the entire world of football".

So you admit the problem is there and you're okay with it anyway? Absolutely ridiculous. The aim in football should be to lessen the gap between teams, not make it bigger. This makes it a lot bigger and the rich get richer.

The concept is good imo, a tournament where elite clubs face each other regularly is clearly more interesting and fun to watch than a tournament where you have to wait till the quarters. Its the same story every season. Same clubs end up being top 2 in their groups apart from a few minor surprises every now and then, and then maaaybe we get to see an interesting matchup if the draw allows it.

Concept is good, but yeah i agree its not fair that founder clubs are guaranteed a spot no matter what. There has to be a better solution. Could be anything like having the founder clubs + another 12 clubs joining by qualification instead of only 5, maybe from season 2 and onwards only top 10 clubs in the super league keep their spot, other clubs have to qualify to stay... i dont know, but still i think the idea is good + UEFA doesnt to get to have a monopoly anymore.

No more Steaua Bucharest's, Ajax's, PSVs, Malmo's, Brugge's, Red Star Belgrade's, Dynamo Kiev's either.

We already lost alot of historic clubs the because the money moved to the big 3/4 leagues. We are now losing alot of top clubs in Spain, Italy because the money is in England.

"It's unfair that we lose money while other lesser clubs make money in spite of us."
