Fans Around Europe Unite To Oppose Super League

Football in England could survive if they regulated players wages and made it sensible. Currently average duffers earn in a week what i earn in a year. Have two football groups, league and euro super league. Give the players the option to sign up to one or the other. Most would want to sign up to the latter, but with limited teams how many would be left without a team? Then their choice is the english league with predetermined wages as per what league your team is in.

Let the big teams go. give them a choice domestic or super league. Not both.

I dont watch champs league anymore. I wouldnt care about a euro super league. Good riddance to dominating money sponges. Hello to the return of a level playing field where at the start of the season it is possible for any team to win the league.
 
The thing I don't get about European Super League talk is this:

Sport is the ultimate meritocracy. There's no hiding place and no divine rights, you win the league if you're the best team that season and finish bottom if you're the worst. Just because a club has 1 billion Insta followers in China doesn't mean they win every trophy, it's a sporting contest, not a popularity one.

And football is such a cycle. Ten years ago Liverpool were rank average, fifteen years ago Arsenal were one of the best teams in Europe, twenty years ago (for different reasons) Juve were playing in the second division and Man City in the third. Chelsea are historically nobodies until the Abramovich money came in. Spain is pretty settled but AC and Inter Milan have had periods when they've been a joke.

From a pure self-interest point of view I can totally understand why the clubs whose star is shining bright at the moment would want to pull the drawbridge up after them, but it doesn't work like that - you have to earn it, season after season. It's what makes football so good.

So who decides who the "Top 20" European clubs are? The Premier League is so competitive that they had to change calling the Big Four to the Big Six, of whom two are currently **** in mid table and United didn't even qualify for the Champion's League for a few years. Spurs were really only great under Poch but otherwise are average. Arsenal will stay mid table for a few years. Pick the best English clubs over the last five years and you can't leave Leicester out. City and Chelsea have a place at the top table only by virtue of distorted petro-billions with owners that could pull the plug at any moment.

So if you're not using on the pitch performance, what do you use, stadium size? National joke yo yo club Newcastle would be in. Historical success? Welcome, Sunderland, let's see how Charlie Wyke does in the European Super League.

Think it's all based on a fundamental misunderstanding. Sure, fans want to see the best players and the best clubs play every week - but there's no such thing as the "best" clubs, it's dynamic and changes every season.
