People purring over high profile fixtures between big teams, well that excitement will wear off fast. That's what was great about the Champions League. Great teams from different countries competing against eachother but it was a novelty. You didn't see it often.
If you are out of the title race with a large number games to go it will be immensely boring as you dont have to worry about relegation or worry about attaining a European spot in the table.

Well, I honestly have no interest in watching a SuperLeague like that one. Can't see myself buying a cable or stream package or something for this. What makes CL playoffs so good is the high stakes and they mean so much because it's the very end of a long journey for every club.
I don't agree with the idea that it would be nice to see Milan x big spanish or UK club every week because what make those games good and interesting is exactly that they're not ordinary.
The owners want a closed league in the mold of the American sports where they can put caps in spending and wages, control the salaries and transfer fees and make the clubs profitable (or at least not so much in the red). But there was a reason in first place I picked a sport with open champoships and not this kind of league...
It's specially shameful for Milan cause we can't even reach CL for half a decade and now would get an undeserved place in this. But that's doesn't mean shit anymore, we're way past that point.

This is my view as well. If you look at Serie A/EPL this season, the top 4 race is the biggest interest as there isn't much of a title race. With Super Liga, this is pretty much gone. It makes Atalanta Juventus 1-0 result irrelevant.
Similarly, no interest in CL draws, etc. and playing the same teams each year wouldn't be as interesting.

I don?t think it?s at that point anymore with guys like Agnelli and others dropping out of roles. It?s happening.

Good luck kicking the competition off in 3 months, this is way bigger than the world cup. Organizing, funding and actual logistics takes way more time than what we think.
It's easier for uefa to change as a system than this competition to kick off.
Imo there will be a major reform, bigger clubs will be heard now and it's not up to some guy from Slovenia calling a guy from Qatar for money.
This is a tug of war that has been around for soke years now and they want Bein network out and whoever running the show in uefa as well...

How do you think the notion of a super league full of super teams came to be?
Do you think Atalanta and Leicester could form super leagues on their own with teams that overachieve?
What they deserve... is that built over the last 5 seasons or 50?

This Super League thing sounds like shit 
The world is becoming less meritocratic and more of a corporatocracy every fucking day.
Pfizer in your veins, Bill Gates in your shit and now this fuckery
If fuckin Scunthorpe United qualify for the CL they deserve to play against the Real Madrids and the Bayern Munichs....not some big club because mUh HiStOrY
Fuck me

you would think that PSG going to the Final... it was based on merit??? not on Qatari gas money?
you would think those EPL teams buying anyone they want (ie Fofana going to Leicester instead of AC Milan) was full of merit for Leicester.
give me a break....

I?m sure all the logistics of it has been discussed & planned. There’s been talk of this for a few years now. Now Agnelli?s visit to Casa Milan a month or so ago makes sense.

That Chiffon from Slovenia is corrupt. I truly don't like that guy. He gives us a hard time with FFP. While his Qatari club could buy Neymar and Mbappe....
I am fine with the current system as long as the club is the permanent member whether we finish top 4 or not.

They could probably run the Super League for a year if the deadlock still happens. It's almost zero sum game. The clubs lose a lot of money since the lockdown. UEFA doesn't want to give up power.

the money will help us fill in our gaps. Of course, I hope we can spend the money wisely.

The 12 founding clubs have over 90% of the world wide fan base.
It's a check mate move from super league.

yes... i don't agree with you on that.
What pisses me off is the so called AC Milan fans here drooling over Atalanta, Bayern, Leicester.... wtf.... are these people AC Milan fans or fans of other clubs???
anyway that Super League
Those Spanish teams are joining in because they feel threatened by the economic power of EPL teams. One way to balance this is to create the Super League.
Anyway... I really wish this Super League runs at least for one year or two.... I am interested to see how it goes.....
All these people who are bashing are just closed minded. Just open your mind for radical ideas.

The system as currently constructed is broken. FFP is a fucking scam that has only served to increase the disparity between the clubs that are able to generate or fabricate revenue and those who cannot. I don’t mind trying this and adapting along the way. Perhaps creating lower tier leagues, that would then allow for promotion and relegation, who knows what would be possible. If things continue this way, we will never catch up.
Qatar got a WC, while thousands of migrant workers have died there. Brazil who are impoverished got one. Baku in fucking Azerbaijan hosted an EL final that was half empty a few years ago. UEFA and FIFA have lined their pockets for long enough, they deserve to get fucked. Is this the correct way to do it? Time will tell....but let’s not act like they didn’t have it coming.

Before the champions League there was the expo cup. Who remembers it? Not long ago there was the intertoto cup.
The game is evolving. Fans are crying over uefa losing the plot, were they upset when uefa was making billions and giving out pennies?
The game belongs to clubs who are providing the entertainment. You can't take sides if you are the head of this game.
For the past years, uefa was only there to prevent clubs from moving forward. Clubs being treated as the circus monkey with selected few can do whatever because they cut the check for uefa.
Man city & psg have no reason to have the privilege to fuck any club over with transfers and monopoly of the game.

UEFA Executive Committee meeting scheduled for today in Montreux.
UEFA, FIFA, PL, Liga, Serie A on the same position: #SuperLeague has been disapproved. No UCL, no domestic leagues for the 12 clubs.
#SuperLeague clubs insist they want to play in the domestic leagues too.
