Tottenham doesn’t even have a past. It’s a club that has a big

stadium and is in London, that’s it. They’re the biggest pretender and underachiever in English soccer. Haven’t won a trophy in decades, haven’t won the league in half a century, never a consistent top 4-5 club. Putting them in the ESL is a head scratcher to me.

Not completely understanding the ESL backlash

It completely undermines the legitimacy of the CL, IMO.

Yes completely agree. But why such backlash

Cause they are still fans of the sport and tradition.

Thank you for trying to explain. I'm just dense.

Corruption and greed vs power and greed. Fans are just walking wallets.

Well, it entrenches 15 teams as elite

Tbf inter is the only Italian team to do the treble & will win Serie A this year

If they win, it will be their first title since 2010, same year as the treble

I think for most, 2 championships in 12 years makes you better than mediocre.

Compared to the top 14 clubs in the world?

YSMACK

Inter is likely a top four team in la liga, ligue 1, & bundesliga. This year

As a side note, they really are having a great Serie A this year.

It hurts a lot of teams, but this is really good for the sport. Even with CL

Sevilla or Valencia can win La Liga?

They weren’t left off, they chose to pass on Super League didn’t they?

Revolution is mistaken and doesn't understand all the implications.

PSG & Bayern were specifically invited

It's a culture clash. Europe turns up its nose at the cynical business side.

Imagine if a (legitimate) playoff existed in NCAAF, and THEN someone suggested

I don't even know if they will be able to legally enforce the National Team...
