This super league crap is fucking stupid. I do not care that my favorite teams are Real Madrid in Spain, Juventus in Italy, and Manchester United in England. They deserve to be stripped of every single trophy they have and relegated for this crap.
That said, it’s clear what this is. It will never see the light of day without UEFA and/or FIFA’s approval, which isn’t gonna happen. This is clearly a tactic for those clubs to get UEFA to sit down on the negotiation table to get more money, and with that I agree to the extent that UEFA is getting a lot of money from top clubs.
I do not agree that they should be getting more at the expense of smaller clubs. For example, in Spain, Madrid and Barca get WAY more than any other team in broadcasting rights. In 2019:
Barca: 166.5m Euros
Real Madrid: 155.3m Euros
Atletico Madrid: 119.2m Euros
Sevilla: 80.1m Euros
How does first place get double of 4th place in something as trivial as broadcasting rights?
Domestic, continental, and International football needs a lot of reform, to top and lower end teams. But this super league crap ain’t it.
I wish it was even appealing for the fans? How is it fun, or even competitive to have 75% of the teams with a permanent qualification status? Not to mention half of the teams on there don’t even have history to back up their legacy as permanent team (not that it would’ve made it any better)
Then comes UEFA with an even stupider plan: Let’s increase the CL teams to 36 from 32 and cancel the current 6 group stage matches and have the teams play 10 instead! This alone will add a month of play, in years where we are seeing increased number of injuries across the board because there’s just no time to rest, having to play every 3 days.
We are really witnessing football being destroyed ladies and gentlemen, regardless of the outcome of this thing that will never see the light of day imo.
