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

When the EPL was formed, it basically formed a new level that any one could attain. Check out Swansea City for a little perspective and see where they were languishing when the EPL was formed and how they rocketed up the English football ladder to join the Prem for several seasons (and hopefully again next year).

This is a different situation.

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.

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

Is it really more than just replacing the Champions League?

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

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.

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

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

I share some of your concerns, but realistically the money will always win.

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

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

It will work just fine in the Super League.

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

RealMadridCougar

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

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