Simon Jordan, the only unbiased critical thinker in the English media.

From next season teams will have the same problem be it the CL or the super league. It's gonna be way too many games. With the new cl you can have potentially 17 games and 19 with the superleague. In CL's current format you can potentially have 13 games, and the fixture is already too packed.

How is a superleague beneficial to the fans? Real Madrid and Barcelona who are so hell bent, USED to be richer than 90% of the premier league, and are now pushing this superleague so that they can make money and go back to being in a dominant position because they squandered their money

The corruption scandals, unilateral expansion of the World Cup, UCL, Club World Cup. "Earn it" yet they enabled clubs like PSG and Man City to violate rules with no significant consequences

There’s demand for a ESL at the top. Seeing the big clubs all play each other. Fine. But in the middle and bottom no chance. As a Villa fan I would much rather we play 38 games domestically against the Uniteds, Liverpools but also the Luton’s and the Bournemouths etc. Than 20 games vs Genk, Dinamo Minsk, AZ Alkmaar etc (no disrespect to them). Villa sell out every game domestically now but the European home games you can actually get a ticket pretty easily.

Simon's points are spot on. Think about, would you rather function under the rules and governance of someone else or your own? and apparently they think with the latter they can get more out of the economical landscape and with a bit more hyperbole the architect of new football evolution.

Oh, and they repeatedly schedule them at venues/in countries where the fans are robbed, then abused by police who couldn't be bothered to protect them from the robbers just before that. UEFA can't even manage to be competent enough to prosecute FFP cheats within the legal timeframe open to them. So no, f-ck UEFA. Would the ESL be better?

I think the aim for this league is to no longer play in the Premier league playing matches which don't make any profit and focus only on games which make profit, kinda like American Football. The thing is most Football Associations are made up of teams thoughout the country and not just the top team, so as the Football Associations gain more and more members, then the voice of the best teams often get drowned out. A possible advantage of having a different league is that you're able to set different rules such as offside only counts if the player is over a metre in front, or using new technologies (e.g. hawkeye), or using robot referees, 10 lines men, larger squad sizes or goalkeepers able to use pole vaults. The disadvantage of a different league is that it has a chance of fragmenting the fans and making football in general less popular and thus have less investment from sponsorship as those adverts aren't being seen by previously larger audiences.

the excitement of Juventus vs Barcelona (for example) is because they rarely meet, and are giants in their own leagues. what's the point of them lot facing each other regularly? I will say though if this was an alternative to the Champions League, that would be interesting!

So even that is a bit similar. UEFA should just steal the idea and apply it to UCL/EL/ECL

Surely the likes of Ajax, Liverpool and Rangers to follow. Hopefully Simon enjoys watching Real Madrid, Juve and Barca play each other on repeat live on TikTok.

No Super League also reduce amount of foreign players just maybe 5 per team

Its like Kapil Dev creating a T20 cricket league but the BCCI did not like it, The BCCI later went on to create the IPL because it was their creation and they can control it.

There's already too much football as it is. Quantity over quality at the minute

I dare one of the big English clubs to say their back in😂

Put back earnings caps and enforce new ownership rules with at least 50% supporter ownership and the financial fair play rules. And do this across the board. Then we might have meritocracy in football

Will never happen

The outroar will be alot less now considering since the original one happened uefa has decided to add more games to the champions league & added a new ridiculous tournament

The European super league will mimic the distances of the Brazilian championship. I just want to see if European clubs can maintain the intensity by playing in 3 different countries a week.

Where is the competition when the teams are invited and there is no promotion or relegation thus preventing any one else from competing?

As paying customers fans are the judge/jury of the success of these ideas, if you dont like it dont pay money towards it and they will soon change to be more marketable to your desired football.

I am a very new football fan from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I'm sure that what I'm about to say is flawed. Anyways. The players play a lot of games already. Injuries pile up. Careers get shortened with more games. If you want to have an ESL, you would have to take away one of the competitions. EFL/Carabao Cup? FA Cup (I think not.)? Increase squad sizes, if that makes any financial sense. Maybe entire new leagues need to be created. The British Football League for the UK. Ligue A pour La France. Have the new leagues compete for the ESL championship. Crazy proposal to be sure. Laugh away.

now its up to the fans ( clients ) if they want to attend & watch it..... like club World cup not bother in 2025. prefer to watch good winter sports.

I have no problem with a European Super League. We already have a handful of clubs that are so far in front of the others financially its a farce having th in the same division. So long as there is promotion and relegation I dont see the problem. Football needs a salary cap or we just gonna watch Newcastle and City win every league from now to the end of history.

There will be promotion and relegation since the new format puts teams in 3 different groups. It will be like a completely new domestic league but with international clubs. It also won’t affect the domestic league, because even if a team in Serie A were to be relegated to Serie B, they could still be at the top of the group of the SL and earn more money than they would by playing in Serie B.

Salary cap 😂 Who are you to decide what someone else should earn. What a player and a club negotiate is their business and no one else's.

The way I see it a break away Luegue was always going too happen. It's the classic case of money talks & you can bet eveything is a out money the fans are just the mugs at the end of the day. You can bet Man united and City will be their if it goes ahead & that will be the end if the EPL as I say money talks.

With all due respect anyone with an ounce of noodles could of predicted an appeals court overturning it..

Let me ask everyone is it fair under uefa rules girona cant play champions league because their owned by city or what about if qatar bought united they would not be able to play champions league as well same if jim radcliffe bought them as he owns nice.

Speaking of competition, talksport needs some! That's why there are so many appalling 'pundits' and hosts at this station, because nothing is pushing talksport to up their game and improve. The whole operation is sloppy because there's no competition in their specific field as a sports radio station in this country.

Just like in golf with pga/r&a and liv they will end up in some sort of partnership. The world keeps spinning and loads of cash is made.

Im an everton fan and personally im all for change in some way. Whether this super league is the right thing im not sure. Personally i hope there is some kind of governance in our league that brings in a wage cap that means that the best run clubs are the ones who can succeed. Not just the ones with the deepest pockets or the the ones who already have the biggest fanbases. The current ffp model is served to protect a handful of clubs and for me it needs reviewing.

Wage cap 😂 If a player can earn the most at a club that is private business and choice between the club and player and has got nothing to do with you. You think players won't go to other countries with no wage caps? 😂

Simon, I love you mate, but the meritocracy argument isn’t gone. The ESL is now offering a semi-closed league format. So some of the teams have to get in on merit, but some STILL DON’T! That’s the issue. Until this is a competition where each and every team enters the league and stays in the league on merit only, I have zero interest in this. Semi-closed is semi-American and speaking as an American, I hate the closed league system that only exists here and practically nowhere else in the world!

It's a joke that teams like Crystal Palace in the PL are now bigger than giants like Ajax, Benfica and Celtic for example. The year Huddersfield finished 17th in the PL they made more money from tv revenue than Juventus who reached the CL final. It's about time things changed and the PL's stranglehold on revenue was ended.
