The Super League is the natural progression and it will happen whether people like it or not. The same thing happened over 30 years ago when the EC was rebranded and changed into the CL. There was an uproar about that back then as well. Yes, it was always about the money and it will always be about the money.
Without the majority of other nations clubs it will fail, no one wants to watch real and barca pumping minnows every week much like they dont watch la liga now cos they cripple the competition with their greed
it's not a natrual progression. it will never happen. I don't even know what you are basing that statement on. The english football league is 150 years old. People support their teams through generations. There would be riots and bloodshed if they ever tried to do this.
It is far from "free" because if you do not get broadcasting rights, then it must be in effect owned by something. Advertisement alone will not pay the total of €3500m that UEFA give out each year.
The most glaring flaw in the Super League concept is the absence of a relegation system. This omission strikes at the very heart of what makes football so captivating and dynamic. The presence of relegation in football adds a layer of suspense and competition, ensuring that every match matters and that teams must consistently perform to stay at the top. This principle of merit-based competition is fundamental to the sport's identity and appeal. In contrast, if the Premier League had adopted a similar model in 1992, establishing a closed league with permanent members and no relegation, its success and popularity might have been significantly diminished. The integration with the Championship and the fluidity of teams moving between divisions based on performance is a key aspect of English football's charm and success. This system maintains a high level of competitiveness and unpredictability, which is essential for engaging fans and preserving the sport's integrity.
“TAKE BACK CONTROL!” (Boris Jonhson, Nigel Farage & Co, 2016) 7 years later: European Court decides that English FA cannot stop its clubs from joining other competitions 🥴
A maximum transfer fee of £20 million, a maximum 0.5% rate for football agents, a maximum earnings level for all working for FIFA UEFA etc, a maximum wage for players in the top leagues.
Monopoly is the dog whistle capitalist use to tell the people that their free market isn’t free enough to then rip from the hands what is already theirs. They’re taking football that is for the fans and part of their culture, town and country and trying to privatize it to sell it to the masses and screw over the local fans.
Aha Super League is UEFA but much worse you call UEFA a monopoly wait until it is only Real Madrid and Barca deciding who gets in and kicked out of the ESL
The EU courts decision only affects the European clubs since Brexit, the UK does not bow to EU court rules. So any premiership club this decision does not affect them. The government have pledged to stop the super league as well so Premier League teams won’t find this easy if they want to join
Another Conservative "misdirect"... The Withdrawal Agreement (WA) makes clear that insofar as the UK-EU ‘future relationship’ contains concepts of EU law, disputes about those concepts will have to be referred to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). This must be in a process similar to that set up by Article 174 of the WA, in which the CJEU can offer a binding interpretation of what is essentially EU law. What this basically means is that all the EU legal concepts that the UK just copy/pasted into UK Law will still be referred to the CJEU for ultimate arbitration as they are the experts on the laws as written. This will only change if the UK updates or changes any of the laws over time (some of which they have, the majority they haven't), making them uniquely UK laws. At that point they would then follow our own escalation process as the CJEU would no longer be the legal expert on them.
Nothing is free there is always a catch thats just a way to get fan to support it but if you really think about it its a sketchy league made for elite who are suffering financially
Either it will be added as a free channel on subscription services or streaming services but will be advert heavy, less talking during half time more adds, lengthy VAR checks, quick add breaks
This only strengthens the Spanish side. Why would Premier League fans want to strengthen Barcelona and Real Madrid any further? From a viewership pov why would you want to watch a match with ingame ads? The thing i want the most isnt Super League. It's the ability to watch every match my club(Man Utd) competes in.
I'm not for the super league. But when the EU has ruled it is anti-competition to forbid clubs from joining it. How is that the UK are creating a new law which would prevent competition. I know the UK has anti-monopoly laws as well. So this would seem to go against that. I'm also aware that the UK is not in the EU anymore. But it seems draconian to enforce something like this.
After the original SL the UK courts passed a law pretty much banning teams from joint if they did this.... for the teams if they want to join the SL they will pretty much forfeit playing in EPL...

How about Spain and Italy copy the premier league format instead of having all the TV revenue going straight to the top clubs instead of shared like in England?
@@Daniel-nt5gh look at TV deal distribution in 2021/2022 between la Liga and premier league clubs. Read Madrid made €160 million whilst Sevilla(number 4 that season)made €84 million, that's almost double.the team that recieved the lowest TV distribution make money was rayo vallecano(with €45 million, +- 115 million less than Real) Whilst from TV deals, the premier league top team was city who made £143 million( no. 4 made £139 million, a £9 million pound difference. And last placed Norwich made £93 million,+- 50 million less than city) Both those stats were taken from both league's official websites and numbers(you can verify if needed). And even if you adjust for currency exchange rate(at the time) the disparity is still huge, making the league less competitive and less attractive for investment as the pie is sliced in favour of the big 3 clubs(Barca,Real and Athletico). Also the arguement of saying the premier has more money doesn't change the disparity between clubs within the same league whilst the epl pie might be bigger its sliced more equally and la Liga might be smaller but its sliced unevenly hurting the league as a whole
Regardless of how the Super League will go, UEFA and Fifa are organisations that are corrupted. Despite football being more popular than basketball on an international scale, football still generate less revenue for the clubs. It shows that these organisations capped so much profit for their own benefits, partner with dirty money countries and questionable referreing. There is a need for more competition to renovate or take down UEFA and Fifa, not necessarily through the Super League though.
Lets hope they do it again. Who wants to play the same fixtures all the time? and fly on planes to watch a match, more often than is needed. Id rather discover a new ground like Luton, once every couple of seasons than go than go to the San Siro every other month. :)@@IR17171717

Barca guy is lying. Under his ideas, a team like Girona could come above Barca, but due to "history" Barca plays in the highest league? If you support a La Ligue club demonstrate this weekend. It is Barca and Real's greed.
Hmm, addressing the issues. Issue 1 - Everyone and everything involves too much money. Scale down the money, by 90% at the top level. Issue 2 - The same clubs appearing in the CL again and again is boring, much more churn required. Make it a level playing field the same qualifying process for all clubs in the CL. There you go, no Super League needed to address the issues.
@evanbhairo160 and it still against British Law, if you watch the full video that mentions any English team attempting to leave the English Football pyramid for the ESL will be blocked
I think the big Scottish clubs like Glasgow Celtic, Glasgow Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibernian, Kilmarnock, Inverness CT, Motherwell, Falkirk, Hearts, Dundee, and Dundee United should join the European Super League.
There's no doubt in my mind that Football being 'free' is the very opposite of what the ESL has in mind. JP Morgan aren't investing £3-5bn for no reason and TV rights are a huge source of income. The very reason RM & Barca are still pushing so hard is because the EPL is streaks ahead of La Liga in TV revenues.
I really don't see whats so objectionable. The Premier League is owned and run by the clubs themselves, this would just be a European version of that. If I was the PL clubs I'd drop the carabao cup, FA Cup and UEFA football and split all the games between Premier League and Super League.
@@falconpunch8734 Not interested in watching PL teams vs lower league teams in the Carabao/FA Cup. Also not interested in watching Man City vs Crvena Zvezda and Young Boys in the Champions League. A team that goes far in all competitions can play in about 60 games a season. If there is 38 Premier League games and 22 Super League games I'd be pretty happy with that.
I'm thinking Spain Real Madrid and Barcelona start with with whatever clubs they can find. It would be them two and a bunch of clubs in Eastern Europe. I say go for it.
Many of the fans claim to be against the ESL and are in the camp of Fifa and Uefa, but when the org. of Fifa and Uefa helped to create a Super League on the African Continent.......dead silence from all of them. Hypocrisy? I very much think so.
Football is for the common folk and the rich are trying to steal it the fans said. But when super wealthy groups line up to invest and buy their clubs, they welcome them with open arms
Why did we all love football all these years . Not because of a super league . Its because we all love our domestic product. Long term its a way of European leagues taking money from our success.
Except that if you go back to 1888, you will read exactly the same thing being said against the creation of a Football League. "We love the game because of the local product, we don't need a National League." We want Aston Villa vs Aston Unity not Aston Villa vs Burnley.
@@mivanp2185 No, The actual Football League in 1888. If you access the archives of a paper like the Athletic News from 1888 and read letters from fans or articles from commentators of the day, they similarities to the attitude towards the Super League are amazing. The popular belief was that a Football League was a money grab for an elite who would dominate in their closed shop and kill every other club.
@@mivanp2185no the creation of the football league in 1888 mainly pushed for by William McGregor the CEO of Aston Villa at the time and there was backlash of it at the time by many people then just like the creation of the Premier League in 1992 and fhe creation of the European Cup pushed through mainly by Real Madrid there's a reason why English clubs didn't join the European Cup for a while it had the same energy as the ESL has now. Everything bold has to start off somewhere and in sport it's typically hated at first but can be loved eventually.
Yes, the Premier League is for sure a closed league that you can't be relegated from. It also dictates that working-class people will need to get on a plane and a hotel virtually half the time their team plays. Oh wait, no, that's not true.
Other teams will be invited based on their league performance it’s not a closed tournament plus those small teams will get more money than what they would get in the champions league because top teams in the ucl get more money than smaller teams
So all the clubs in England will have to do is leave the premier league correct? If more money is to be made in the super league do you really think these international owners wouldn’t consider it? We all know they would.
Hey Barcelona president, you've always had control over your own club. No one told you to spend like money grew on trees and basically go bankrupt. Real Madrid president, the passion is already with the fans. Just not in the manner you two want. UEFA/FIFA get your act together and quit trying to do what the ESL is looking to do by making more greed money with tournaments no one asked for (nations league) and tournament additions/change in format (club world cup).
it wont be free forever, it'll; be free until they get enough support, then they'll charge you massive fees, the whole point of the super league is to make big money through broadcast rights
too good to be true...all they want is money, there would be a catch on that, we just don't know yet...don't be too naive. Look, Barca and Juve are struggle financially a fvckin lot, there's a reason why they initiate this concept.
@@bosenngantor9160Not necessarily ads can bring in a lot of money the England Vs France in the world it cost £400,000 for a ad on ITV and that's just the UK viewing audience imagine what you can charge if the whole world can watch look at the Superbowl charging millions for ads
A super league would be great and have more exciting football. The big teams in the PL with the best players want to play Barca, Bayern etc every week not small teams like Stoke, Burnley, Man Utd etc.
If they make it easier to get tickets for low budget families who struggle financially to attend games it can't be a bad thing 💁🏼♂️ I'm a massive arsenal fan and I can't afford tickets 😫 I really wish I could but I can't.
What on earth is Laporta talking about? This ESL has a closed format. How does that benefit the domestic league/s as he states? Barça is in big debt, that's why he wants to join such a competition - it's about the money.
@@lilbaz8732 my bad, of all the online footage I had seen no mention of a new format. Anyway, even though it's legal, they're going to have a hard time convincing clubs and already certain domestic leagues such as EPL and the big teams in it, and other big clubs such as Bayern have already stated their allegiance to UEFA, and besides that, domestic league organizers (FA) have already begun to legally bind their member clubs to contracts forbidding participation in a new format outside of UEFA. Good luck with that!

There is nothing more corrupt that not risking a dime, or a player, or a facility and yet getting to yourself 80% of all the profits that others generate. That is simple and plain a mafia's dream.
It is so outrageous, that even if clubs manage it, and give it for free, they will be getting much much more.

Over a 150 years of the sport we love is rapidly being flushed down the drain.

Something needs to change. The premier league is currently killing football outside of England, but this doesn't sound like it's just going to make things worse

The Super League is the natural progression and it will happen whether people like it or not. The same thing happened over 30 years ago when the EC was rebranded and changed into the CL. There was an uproar about that back then as well. Yes, it was always about the money and it will always be about the money.
I agree
Without the majority of other nations clubs it will fail, no one wants to watch real and barca pumping minnows every week much like they dont watch la liga now cos they cripple the competition with their greed
@@myerg2977this!!!
You dont get it do you....
it's not a natrual progression. it will never happen. I don't even know what you are basing that statement on. The english football league is 150 years old. People support their teams through generations. There would be riots and bloodshed if they ever tried to do this.
It is far from "free" because if you do not get broadcasting rights, then it must be in effect owned by something. Advertisement alone will not pay the total of €3500m that UEFA give out each year.
The most glaring flaw in the Super League concept is the absence of a relegation system. This omission strikes at the very heart of what makes football so captivating and dynamic. The presence of relegation in football adds a layer of suspense and competition, ensuring that every match matters and that teams must consistently perform to stay at the top. This principle of merit-based competition is fundamental to the sport's identity and appeal.
In contrast, if the Premier League had adopted a similar model in 1992, establishing a closed league with permanent members and no relegation, its success and popularity might have been significantly diminished. The integration with the Championship and the fluidity of teams moving between divisions based on performance is a key aspect of English football's charm and success. This system maintains a high level of competitiveness and unpredictability, which is essential for engaging fans and preserving the sport's integrity.
There IS a relegation system. What are you talking about?

Monopoly is the dog whistle capitalist use to tell the people that their free market isn’t free enough to then rip from the hands what is already theirs.

The concept of the Super League takes away the basic essence of football and I'm not a fan of it.
The EU courts decision only affects the European clubs since Brexit, the UK does not bow to EU court rules. So any premiership club this decision does not affect them. The government have pledged to stop the super league as well so Premier League teams won’t find this easy if they want to join
Another Conservative "misdirect"... The Withdrawal Agreement (WA) makes clear that insofar as the UK-EU ‘future relationship’ contains concepts of EU law, disputes about those concepts will have to be referred to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). This must be in a process similar to that set up by Article 174 of the WA, in which the CJEU can offer a binding interpretation of what is essentially EU law.
What this basically means is that all the EU legal concepts that the UK just copy/pasted into UK Law will still be referred to the CJEU for ultimate arbitration as they are the experts on the laws as written. This will only change if the UK updates or changes any of the laws over time (some of which they have, the majority they haven't), making them uniquely UK laws. At that point they would then follow our own escalation process as the CJEU would no longer be the legal expert on them.
Yes, it does.

This only strengthens the Spanish side. Why would Premier League fans want to strengthen Barcelona and Real Madrid any further? From a viewership pov why would you want to watch a match with ingame ads?
The thing i want the most isnt Super League. It's the ability to watch every match my club(Man Utd) competes in.
I'm not for the super league. But when the EU has ruled it is anti-competition to forbid clubs from joining it. How is that the UK are creating a new law which would prevent competition. I know the UK has anti-monopoly laws as well. So this would seem to go against that. I'm also aware that the UK is not in the EU anymore. But it seems draconian to enforce something like this.
Why to care if you don't like super league?
After the original SL the UK courts passed a law pretty much banning teams from joint if they did this.... for the teams if they want to join the SL they will pretty much forfeit playing in EPL...

How about Spain and Italy copy the premier league format instead of having all the TV revenue going straight to the top clubs instead of shared like in England?
Perez cant agree to that
They have been doing that for decades. You know nothing yet you speak like you did.
@@Daniel-nt5gh look at TV deal distribution in 2021/2022 between la Liga and premier league clubs.
Read Madrid made €160 million whilst Sevilla(number 4 that season)made €84 million, that's almost double.the team that recieved the lowest TV distribution make money was rayo vallecano(with €45 million, +- 115 million less than Real)
Whilst from TV deals, the premier league top team was city who made £143 million( no. 4 made £139 million, a £9 million pound difference. And last placed Norwich made £93 million,+- 50 million less than city)
Both those stats were taken from both league's official websites and numbers(you can verify if needed).
And even if you adjust for currency exchange rate(at the time) the disparity is still huge, making the league less competitive and less attractive for investment as the pie is sliced in favour of the big 3 clubs(Barca,Real and Athletico).
Also the arguement of saying the premier has more money doesn't change the disparity between clubs within the same league whilst the epl pie might be bigger its sliced more equally and la Liga might be smaller but its sliced unevenly hurting the league as a whole
Regardless of how the Super League will go, UEFA and Fifa are organisations that are corrupted. Despite football being more popular than basketball on an international scale, football still generate less revenue for the clubs. It shows that these organisations capped so much profit for their own benefits, partner with dirty money countries and questionable referreing. There is a need for more competition to renovate or take down UEFA and Fifa, not necessarily through the Super League though.
Why not necessarily through SL?
dirty money countries like ... ? england france israel ? oh no of course its only bad when they're black or brown I forgot 🤣🤣🤣
The fans of the big teams are the ones who can save football by rejecting this selfish, greedy idea.
In fairness, they did last time and I'm sure they will again.
Lets hope they do it again. Who wants to play the same fixtures all the time? and fly on planes to watch a match, more often than is needed. Id rather discover a new ground like Luton, once every couple of seasons than go than go to the San Siro every other month. :)@@IR17171717

Hmm, addressing the issues. Issue 1 - Everyone and everything involves too much money. Scale down the money, by 90% at the top level. Issue 2 - The same clubs appearing in the CL again and again is boring, much more churn required. Make it a level playing field the same qualifying process for all clubs in the CL.

There's no doubt in my mind that Football being 'free' is the very opposite of what the ESL has in mind. JP Morgan aren't investing £3-5bn for no reason and TV rights are a huge source of income. The very reason RM & Barca are still pushing so hard is because the EPL is streaks ahead of La Liga in TV revenues.
I get the closed league moniker, but why do they keep on calling it a breakaway league... as in leaving UEFA and the EPL for ENglish clubs??
Well they would be leaving UEFA competitions to compete in this not the domestic though

Exactly
You see the big picture.
Except that if you go back to 1888, you will read exactly the same thing being said against the creation of a Football League. "We love the game because of the local product, we don't need a National League." We want Aston Villa vs Aston Unity not Aston Villa vs Burnley.

@@mivanp2185 No, The actual Football League in 1888. If you access the archives of a paper like the Athletic News from 1888 and read letters from fans or articles from commentators of the day, they similarities to the attitude towards the Super League are amazing. The popular belief was that a Football League was a money grab for an elite who would dominate in their closed shop and kill every other club.
@@mivanp2185no the creation of the football league in 1888 mainly pushed for by William McGregor the CEO of Aston Villa at the time and there was backlash of it at the time by many people then just like the creation of the Premier League in 1992 and fhe creation of the European Cup pushed through mainly by Real Madrid there's a reason why English clubs didn't join the European Cup for a while it had the same energy as the ESL has now.

The super league has existed since 1993. It's called the Premier league
1992
Yes, the Premier League is for sure a closed league that you can't be relegated from. It also dictates that working-class people will need to get on a plane and a hotel virtually half the time their team plays. Oh wait, no, that's not true.
Why only those teams for super league though why not other teams
Other teams will be invited based on their league performance it’s not a closed tournament plus those small teams will get more money than what they would get in the champions league because top teams in the ucl get more money than smaller teams
Its all the continental in Spain and Italy who are loosing money in their country and they want to involve Premier league clubs to regain some money
So all the clubs in England will have to do is leave the premier league correct? If more money is to be made in the super league do you really think these international owners wouldn’t consider it? We all know they would.
