Seems some ppl do not want to picture the far reaching consequences of this development. Mind you the ESL was never about the competition, this will be all about money, money, money to milk the game of football as much as possible.

Like a get rich quick system which condemns hardwork or due process, in this case it will be to hell with all the football teams who will never make the league.

The founding teams (12 or 15) will never be relegated irrespective of how they play.

The financial gap between elite teams and the unlucky ones will seriously affect the transfer market. Football will be all about money going forward which will breed more corruption, eliminate competition, ensure that these teams will dominate whatever is left of football going forward.

Mid table and struggling teams will have to fold up as they will only be chasing shadows.

The thrill that comes within the domestic leagues and UEFA competitions will no longer be there or here.

Why will anyone want to watch these teams play each other week in week out? What about longevity? The excitement that comes with big teams from different leagues playing each other once in a while?

Yes surely, viewers will be thrilled but after 2, 3 years it becomes repetitive, no more surprises, see finish, a money generating enterprise.

*Which is why the actual football fans - fans who support clubs in their local, fans who follow their teams not because they are popular, who have history with these teams, coaches, critics are strongly against it. Football should not just be about money, yes you need money to run these clubs but immediately it becomes solely about generating money kiss the game goodbye.

#UEFA is only crying because they've been dribbled not because they care about Football.

Hazard
Ibrahimovic
Lukaku
Rashord

Do UEFA care about football? how much did they give clubs during the pandemic?? what other support is UEFA giving to participating clubs? with UEFA financial policies, how come man city bought the success they are enjoying today? I don't support ESL but UEFA needs to do more. why is there no UEFA women league? how do they want the women league to grow?

I can't like your post more. You have captured it well. In fact, those proposing this idea have not categorically stated in clear terms a roadmap for the other clubs that are currently on the UEFA competitions, they are just talking about themselves. They are mentioning how sustainable their league will be, leaving the other flip side that might suffer result of their action. Football is a team game, pass to me I pass to the other or score a goal, but more than one person play together. Now they want to pull out and in a dramatic and drastic way, supposing there weren't the other clubs would any of these giant clubs have attained the superiority they claim? This is a question they should answer. Any design of another league aimed at improving the sport should be approached wholistically and with all stakeholders, not this way that overnight a handful of superiors decide to raise dust with this announcement.
Even transfers of players will be affected, they need look into that too. Change is constant and sometimes present better options but it must be well considered before being adopted.

Walkee:
the funny thing is that you don't know that this was exactly how champions league started. Real Madrid were the original founder of champions league and they automatically qualified for the competition and then played against invitees. That was how they won their first 5 champions league. Football was ruined by players and the clubs are just carrying the burden. Neymar left Barcelona for money, Ronaldo did the same, Ramos is currently holding Real Madrid hostage, Mbappe refused to sign contract declaring he's joining Real Madrid, Messi pockets over 500m even when his club is 1bn in debt and tethering on brink of liquidation. Big players leverage on their fan base to extort big clubs, uefa extort big clubs, fans demand all big clubs win all trophies, to do that they need money. All the major big clubs are hundreds of millions in debt. Uefa are clueless. Why exactly won't they seek alternative? Champions league is dead unless those clubs come back

Dannyozs:
I agree with your submission, the whole thing doesn't feel right. It's all greed and the effect of bad management. Now they are looking for a way out and to hell with other teams.

Without these mid - bottom teams they are stepping on now, there would be no big teams, they all need each other but if they refuse to reconsider hmm. Well I hope we are wrong.

esivue007:
why u come place MESSI above RONALDO

aidameoryou:


because he is the greatest footballer in the world.

27Pushing30:


You guys are obviously not seeing the bigger picture.

They will still play in their domestic championships.

There is a proviso stating no relegation for 20 years.

What you are actually seeing here is a COUP and outright REPLACEMENT of the champions league. not domestic competition BUT ONLY the champions league .

esivue007:
says who
Ronaldo beat messi hands down

aidameoryou:


wake me up whenever ronaldo has his 6th b'dor the highest individual highest award in football, UNTIL THEN I'D GLADLY BE SNORING OK
despite having played more games, and still started playing pro before the real GOAT.
know your GOAT.

esivue007:

Forget b'dor.... ronaldo had d highest goal

lindareep:

Fans do not want it.
The very soul of football is suprise, unpredictability, upsets.

Already football has started to become really boring. Even Chelsea versus Liverpool...i prefer to just watch.highlights
