And if Spanish Arsenal, instead of playing the Champions League, played in the Super League, it would have more income and could continue competing for the title in the Premier every season, and if Spanish Liverpool had won the Super League instead of the Champions League, it would not have fallen into the hands of a American club.

Esl just needs to do a charm offensive on the fans and sell Esl as a better version of the champions league, with more competitive games.

"without the fans" haha that's hilarious. As if the fans matter one iota to what happens. The fans will continue to be what they've always been - a source of revenue - whether it's super league, or champions league.

Surely the English clubs have most to lose. The Premier League will be like the FA Cup, still a thing but not as important as it used to be.

What is happening is that UEFA and FIFA subtract the most popular clubs and their income and are limited to organizing. The sentence given by D. Florentino Pérez: the Clubs can organize competitions that do not have to be authorized by FIFA and UEFA,are Free!. Therefore FIFA and UEFA cannot sanction them. If U.K. is at the margin of the European Court in the sé, but the Italian league is threatening the clubs that enter the super league with expulsion from Serie A, and this is against the sentence. It is clear that the clubs financed in violation of Financial Fair Play: Manchester City, PSG are against it, because they play with a lot of profit in relation to the other Clubs, I believe that the question is: West Ham, Aston Vila, Sheffield United, Wolves, Nottingham's answer will be very different, because the Super League doesn't eliminate the Premir League. It would be like the Champions League, tending to have more revenue and not being seen as clubs that have gone from being their members to being ruined and being bought by oil states, like The City and New Castle are converting the "Premier League" into the "Arabian League" and how these clubs are not complying with the Fair Play financing, the only solution that has to not be bought by Arab states is the Super League. The idea of the Super Legue is from D. Florentino Pérez, who invented a retractable lawn system whose patent could be of interest to many clubs, and even in public. We are talking about a Genius, D. Florentino Pérez, and an open project to all clubs, which can make their proposals, by assumption, we are not talking about Reginald Perring and his "Trash stores", by God!. In fact, the Super League will improve the national leagues, without supplanting them, as UEFA propagandists imply!. Do you want a Champions League and an Europe League and a Conference League where the clubs receive 100% of what they generate, without intermediaries not needing the equivalent of 60% of what they earn? That's what the Super League wants. When they say "Is Only For Profit" they don't say: "Mafias that vampirize the clubs and profit from them!" Why?.

RM's debt is long term debt for the stadium refurb, not working debt, like Barsa's, who continued to borrow more and more to pay Me$$i and the rest of that squad, while RM preferred to sell Ronaldo than give him yet another pay rise, because they are responsibly managed. The stadium debt is a capital investment, not splaffing money on players who will come and go. Once it is finished it will be a fully functioning venue in the centre of the city, available the entire year, and will bring in over 200m extra revenue annually. As for spiraling costs, they have budgeted for years to leave room for the financing of the work, which they recently took the final chunk of to complete it. FFP is not about what a club spends on its infrastructure, it's about what it spends in the transfermarket in light of its revenue. Real Madrid have spent less than Bournemouth over the last decade in the transfer market. I don't think there is any club or business that doesn't want to increase its revenue - this is the primary objective of a businesses existence, and although RM is not a for profit business, but a social club, it operates in a business environment.

How is the top 16 playing each other not better than the top 36? Do u understand anything at all? No team is trying to "control the purse strings" - they are trying to increase the money in the game overall.

If UEFA, the EPL and even FIFA don't start punishing the teams that cheat... Ahem Man City, then they have no grounds to object to a team not wanting to participate in their corrupt competition.

As a South African who has grown up loving watching European football, I’m in support of a Super League. The past two years I’ve gotten so much more into NFL (American football) and have grown bored of the EPL, La Liga and most importantly, Champions League. I’ve actually realised that the NFL, the way it’s presented; the multiple divisions, conferences and media access keeps things a lot more intriguing whereas I still love football (SOCCER), Ive just grown tired of the same narrative and same teams dominating every year because of the financial disparities between clubs. An ESL will create a more level playing field snd hopefully present the game in a more exciting manner. I’m not asking for reality TV show vibes or for the game to become like the NFL, but there’s a lot to be learnt from all this.

We already know that if the British clubs do not enter and prohibit the Scottish clubs from entering the Super League, there are interested nations that could occupy that space left by these clubs... it could be taken into account. For now, a non-FIFA Intercontinental Championship would be interesting: the nations of Africa, America, Asia and the Oceania have to do the same as Spain in Europe, denounce in court the abuse of FIFA's monopoly and the continental organizations that abuse the monopoly (in Europe it is UEFA).

In what way does it create a more level playing field? Will the same top teams not rise to the top and compete in the play offs and become richer still while everyone else doesn't? I'm not against the concept but I'm disappointed in the format. Groups of 8 teams? So you'll only be playing the same 7 teams? While eufas new champions league format means you'll be playing different teams every game giving poorer clubs the chance to get through to the last 16 against the odds because of lucky draws or/and a chance to get through to the last 16 in the 2 leg play off by beating a big team over 2 games? Im not sure how the esl format benefits smaller clubs.

As an American, I find it odd that you like the NFL. Many of us young people in USA have stopped watching that sport

None of this is actually possible under the ruling? Neither is fifas "monopoly broken" by this ruling. as i read over and over in the coments. More important theres this drivel making rounds in the media about how the ruling would "forbid fifa from blocking the superleague and players from playing in both competitions". Which is ABSOLUTELY NOT the case. I sadly understand now why "football people" are seen as somewhat du11 by the rest of the worst. The rulings effect is EXTREMELY circumstantial, depends entirely on whether the superleague would be "its own thing" or "part of FIFA" the two basically change the ruling 180° depending on which of the two is the circumstance from which we set out to further go along. And that would be only the start of the "circumstantial" part.

Of course it will happen and when it does the grounds will be full and no one will care.

if all the other european countries create a super league they may have something as interesting as the EPL, but I doubt it.

Of course Simon is right. When the money is offered then we shall see, with Saudi money it will happen even faster, those clubs are fooling no one.

The english fans wont let it happen that simple

UEFA represents clubs from 55 European nations. This new Super league would only represent a small portion of those countries, possibly the top 10. If the qualification for the new super league came from domestic success then I dont think many fans would have an objection.

The top 2-3 teams in La liga and Bundesliga should join the super league, because the rest of the teams in those leagues have never mattered, whereas EPL has always had intense competition from all teams !!!!

Simon doesn't know what opaque means. He also seems to think "foresawn" is a word, but it isn't.

Wednesday night 'super league' match in New York City with the top players, and your Premier League home match in front of home fans will be the youth and bench players.

If I ran the campaign for this Super League I'd pay people on talk shows like this to advocate it. I'd also hire PR Reps to set up multiple fake accounts and do the same in the comments section.

that's down to being the best run club in the sport and not going into massive debt to buy players. Even Bournemouth have spent more in the transfer market than RM over the last decade.

Let these teams start a superleague and when it fails and collapses under all the corruption, these English teams who joined should start at the bottom of the pyramid and build back up if to rejoin the EPL.
