Just give me the best teams playing on a channel I can watch

That's the whole idea.

I wish Bayern and Dortmund would have joined

DKN

They will.

I hope not. I was planning on cheering for Dortmund if this went through.

Yup. I’d rather watch Real-Liverpool than Real-Betis. This just makes sense.

I don’t think so

As I read the proposal of the Super League,

While that is the proposal, national leagues won’t last long. Just like non P5

Yes. Yes it is. West Ham and Leicester who have had a great season and have a

It's like Texas strongarming their conference to an unequal revenue share

more like Texas strong arming their way to an auto NY6 game every year regardles

Anyone who supports this doesn't understand the game one bit.

This is my biggest concern against it.

Amen. I will not watch another Liverpool match until this is cancelled.

I bet you actually will.

There have been many leagues and systems created that disadvantage lesser clubs

CoogsCoogs85

I'm neither for or against Super League but how did you feel when the Premier League was formed or the Champions

RealMadridCougar

The EPL wasn't constructed as closed league like the ESL is though

Also, comparing a domestic situation with a continental one is impossible to accurately do.

shoganai

Exactly like it was when the Champions League and Europa League current formats were announced initially. Fans might be

I'm against this new setup as well and wish they would address the real problem

Salary cap will never work across 5-7 countries with different laws and league structures. No comparison to American

RealMadridCougar

4/19/21 12:45pm

It will work just fine in the Super League.

shoganai

4/19/21 12:49pm

We'll see but Italy's tax rule will give them a huge advantage in wages

RealMadridCougar

4/19/21 12:56pm

They'll just write necessary equalizing provisions into the league rules.

shoganai

Man City hates the FFP rules, they aren't going to sign up to a league

Nor would the rest of these clubs...

Probably right but you could have a transfer fee cap that would curb the big

The Sport has been run by the Mafia for way too long.
