For those of you who are unfamiliar with the
idea, a 'European Super-League' is a proposed
alternative to the current UEFA Champions
League. Instead of grouping top European
teams into an elimination tournament,
Europe's finest would instead form a "super
league" where top teams from each league
would compete against each other on a weekly
basis throughout the course of the season.
ADVERTISING
Mirroring the standard domestic league
format, the team with the most points at the
end of the season would win the league. The
bottom three or perhaps four teams would be
relegated.
While several other managers and numerous
sports journalists have discussed the idea for
the past several years, I've not yet seen anyone
develop the framework for such a league. With
this thought in mind, here's my idea for how
the European Super League would work.
Entirely replacing the UEFA Champions League,
the UEFA Super League would initially feature
the top three clubs from the English Premier
League (EPL), the Bundesliga and Serie A and
the top two teams from La Liga and Ligue 1.
One club from each of Portugal, Holland,
Belgium, Ukraine and Russia would combine
for five more members, and an additional two
vacancies would be awarded to two clubs from
smaller leagues which advanced through a
qualification process.
Altogether, the league would feature 20
member teams which would play every
opponent twice (home and away) for a total of
38 games. In order to avoid forcing players to
the point of physical exhaustion or requiring
clubs to build a full-strength second team,
clubs would not compete in their domestic
leagues while playing in the UEFA Super
League. However, all member clubs would
continue competing in their domestic cup
competitions.
At the end of the season, the club with the
most points would be crowned the UEFA
Champion and the bottom four teams would be
relegated to their domestic leagues.
At the domestic leagues level, since top clubs
could no longer qualify for the Champions
League, they would instead qualify for the
Europa League where the four semi-finalists
would replace the four relegated sides in the
following season's UEFA Super League.
In order to ensure sides relegated from the
Super League would have the opportunity to
earn immediate promotion the following
season, they would be awarded automatic
Europa League qualification.
While many of you probably consider this
suggestion utterly preposterous, I encourage
you to at least consider the idea.
Firstly, the plan would shrink the huge talent
gap between top teams and their typical
opponents. So, instead of Manchester United
facing Newcastle, Stoke and Sunderland in a
random three-week period of the season, they
could instead face the likes of Porto, Juventus
and Ajax.
Sure, we might miss out on some exciting two-
leg series, but I would much rather watch the
Red Devils play an entire season of meaningful
contests than wait until the Champions League
quarter-finals for them to feature against a
world-class opponent.
Opponents argue that while strengthening the
competition at the highest levels, such an
exclusive league would destroy domestic
competition. Conversely, I suspect the UEFA
Super League would have the exact opposite
effect on competition.
For example, with English Premier League sides
Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea
and Arsenal likely to spend most seasons in the
Super League, teams such as Liverpool,
Tottenham, Newcastle and Everton would have
a legitimate chance of actually winning the
league.
With a top-three finish promising a place in
the Europa League and an eventual shot at
cracking into the Super League, the fans of
mid-table teams throughout Europe could
actually get excited about their club's future
prospects.
Furthermore, domestic cup competitions would
become increasingly intense. With Super
League teams not regularly facing domestic
competition, they would be eager to prove
their worth by winning a domestic
championship.
Realising a unique opportunity to compete
against the top clubs in the country, emergent
league sides, perhaps vying to complete a
domestic double, would be intensely motivated
to shock their supposedly superior opponent. 5 Likes 1 Share |
