Thanks to the OP

The problem with the ESL for me is

1.It would have sucked up money from smaller clubs.Everyone and his mother would run to invest in ESL, at everyone's expense.

2.I'm sorry, but a league where no one gets relegated? Yes, American sports does that, but at the end of the day, it promotes stagnancy (to me!)

Hmmm. The Truth is people, investors, big clubs as u may call them invested and still investing money into football to make it what we all love 2day. If u do not acknowledge that it means u don’t know anything about Football.

They expect and need commensurate returns to keep improving and developing new talents and the game. They build world class stadiums thanks to corona nobody has sat in them for a year and counting. undecided

If u think that is a joke it is not A joke it’s serious business issues. When Perez said he’s trying to save Football I can Clearly see where he’s coming from. Football is not a cheap sports.

I still believe ESL is the future bt it has to have a better sense of FairPlay in its structure. And I see several ways to achieve this already.

Who doesn’t want the big leagues and big money! While growing the sports.
and what happen to that team from the lower league who's dream and ambition is to one day play among the big teams ??

That’s why I said more FairPlay must be incorporated bt to play in the league u must have 2 criteria be the best sports wise or have the financial backing to enter the league.


The competition becomes 2 ways u must either work hard to enter or pay extra. Those are still fair to the game and also to investors. It’s a win win.

They should consider the fans because without them, their football development means nothing.

It will keep coming and it will keep bn shutdown except all major stakeholders are carried along...after all, it was the greed of these big teams that bastardized the transfer market...where you see an average one season wonder player with a price tag like 70m. They made it that way, so they should suck it, and live with it.

Tell dem o. After wasting money on flops, they now want to shortchange the smaller teams because of their insatiable greed. If FIFA had granted them this Super league, they will still ginger for power league.

Which smaller teams are you talking about?

Super league is alternative to champions league and not the main country's league
BTW FIFA did not and cannot stop the establishment of the super league, the clubs backed out because of fans reaction.
And when last did you see fans in stadia, so how are clubs supposed to generate revenue when uefa and FIFA eat up all the money.

Football is business, they just need to be more fair to other teams like Guardiola said there'll be no competition

If money is causing problems, then they should sit down and discuss with FIFA on the way forward and not try to be renegades

Smaller teams participate in the Champions League from qualification phase to the group stages thereby generating revenues to help them financially, ESL idea was based on greed.

They should stop paying their players ridiculous wages.

Maybe they will survive their financial woes if they Learn how to pay players modestly like they do in Germany.

How can a player be earning €500k per week because he plays football?

Beautiful exposition on the ESL.

Just as this politics play out in Sports like football so it plays out between the Elites and masses in this country.

The ESL project is not dead,it will resurface again because the big clubs are into the business to entertain and make more money.
Any interest that does not guarantee profits for them is an enemy.

The reality is.....

People have not realized that if you are looking for some extra cash to add to your monthly pay & don't have so much time to spare...Then you need an online business.

Not any type of online business oh, but Affiliate marketing precisely...why?

- It is easy to start.
- It requires very little or no capital.
- Scaling up is fun.
- It eventually gives you the freedom you need.
- And most importantly, it pays handsomely....�

na greed kill this ESL idea. dem for cut the money for each team in half and double the clubs participating. the founding teams for still remain without relegation because na them take risk. the top 2 teams among the founders for get placed in group of the other 20 new teams(qualification almost assured for them) while the rest play among themselves for groups. the remaining teams for come from cup competitions(this one go calm fans down as small teams like Grimsby, Walsall fit get chance to qualify and take in huge sums without waiting for "investors" to raise their profile).

The idea of a super league will continue to surface has long as the big clubs contribute alot in paying huge wages to players and agents. Just imagine paying $120m to buy a player, treat the player from subsequent injuries ontop mighty wages I will still pay him. Then uefa and fifa will have one mumu qualification and asked the players to go and represent their nations where they will pay little or no money like Nigeria. The player might come back with injuries or tired leg yet I must still pay him the huge wages despite i might lost his form for the rest of the season. This is unacceptable as a business man. He who plays the piper dictates the tune. Simple solution is let me as a top club have a say in the sharing formula when it comes to distribution of revenues else as Wenger put it..it is inevitable to stop the super league in the future.
U're right from bizness point of view, but on the other side, it kills football. Football is better enjoyed wen it is competitive, wen u compete and win on merit, only then will u be proud of ur effort. Not wen there is a guarantee qualification and no relegation even if u play rubbish, with dat type of mind set, even the players will not take the league serious because weda they play well or not the club will still cash out big. U sef wey dey watch the game will not enjoy it cos it lacks intrigue

The truth is most of these big clubs spend money in terms of signing players and agents fees, it is now becoming more difficult to sustain. Seriously, Super league may not be the solution but honestly something must be done. The moments the eyes of the big clubs really opened was during the pandemic when revenues from Fans and selling of merchandise was inevitably blocked and most of their major employees(especially the players) that earn large wages refused pay cut which to me seems unreasonable. I know the idea of the super league is not totally dead and is still going to spring up sooner or later because the money involve is too good to be ignore walai
Na agents be the real cause of the financial crisis

I was attracted to the world cup write up....it clearly means the world cup was meant for only European and South American teams.

I wonder then, when is Africa going to win it?
Re: The Origin Of The European Super League Idea - Naptu2 by naptu2: 9:10am On Apr 22, 2021
There are other proposals that have the same type of ideology that's behind the European Super League. For example:

1) There have been many proposals that Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic should join the English League. The two Glasgow teams are the perennial champions of Scotland and the people behind the idea believe that the Scottish League is too small for them and that they would make more money and play against teams that are at their level if they play in the English Premier League. FIFA and the Scottish FA have repeatedly blocked any such moves. (What would happen to the smaller Scottish teams if Rangers and Celtic leave?)




2) There have also been many proposals that the regular season El Classico should be played in other countries like the US and in places like the Middle East and East Asia. However, FIFA have repeatedly blocked such proposals in order to protect the domestic leagues in those countries.
