They want Saudi and USA clubs eventually but they need the big guns to get the venture capital in.
Without the Prem Big 6, Bayern, and PSG it's dead in the water. For now.
Madrid fans are the most entitled bunch in the world. They are bored of winning the CL.
I'm so indifferent to this news, we have a Super League in all but name anyway.
Same clubs competing in the CL and to win it. Same clubs hoovering up the best talents and paying the most wages.
Anything that pisses off UEFA and FIFA is fine with me, especially the latter organisation which is more corrupt now than it's ever been.

Translated: A22 (Real and Barca) offering bribes to fans saying Super League games would broadcast for free.
Desperate stuff.
If it happens you can see them bankrolling it.
You think that would make more money or be more prestigious than the champions league?
The idea is dead and I’m so proud the people pushed back against the ESL. Hilarious that people will take so much bullshit but fuck with their football league and everyone’s in the streets.
Bayern were not on board at all. Wouldn't get passed with their ownership structure
I think the PR against it has played a blinder. I bet if you asked random fans they would think being part of the super league means leaving the PL, which of course it didn’t. The new PL rules basically prevent any of the clubs joining it now as the fines are unlimited.
Wouldn't replace the champions league but essentially be a new top flight for those leagues. Could have enough big clubs to compete with the pl.

Could see a split in football, think English clubs will obviously remain UEFA. Wonder if Real and Barca will really push it.
My guess is this won’t really be a European Super League, clubs form outside Europe will end up in it.

Already throwing out proposals.
How would those clubs qualify for the champions league? Doesn’t seem possible to play both.
I don't get the point of this competition. There are three tiers in this proposed competition, which we already have with the UCL, Europa and Conference Leagues. Instead, there are less clubs so more money for a select few?
Also, any of the big clubs can stay in the top league and finish 15th in their own domestic competition. How does that make sense?

Competition is designed to placate the big clubs, it's basically a CL on drugs but if you're a founder you don't need to qualify for it.
Basically it comes down to money, the likes of Real/Barca/Juve are pissed because their leagues aren't bringing in the money like they used to so they're falling behind in terms of finances and prestige compared to Prem or Nouveou rich teams but this format guarantees them much more money than UEFA ever could which is why they are pushing it.
Continental football should be earned on sporting merit. Ridiculous to guarantee any club automatic inclusion.

Assume now we will have a European split with some clubs in Champions League and others in the new European Super League.
It should but UEFA are hardly doing a good job themselves, finishing 5th in your league should never guarantee you a CL place, at the same time you shouldn't be able to finish 3rd in your group which put you into the Europa League.
The truth is whatever format they come up with is killing football and sporting fairness either way, both will do their best to look after the legacy clubs, I don't think either are helping the football pyramid, like smaller teams aren't going to be able to close the gap on the big boys either way.
It’s to replace the UCL/EL/ECL. The clubs want out of the UEFA structure.
The masses were deliberately misled into believing domestic competition would be the one replaced and that it wouldn’t be an open competition.
UEFA sucks.
I was responding to the claim that it wouldn’t replace the CL.
The masses were tricked into believing it wouldn’t be an open competition? Tell that to the U.K. government who also believed it would be a closed shop. Do you have a source for that?
