kurtsimonw Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm not sure why 75% of those teams would even want to be in it. Could you imagine Bayer and PSV. Picking up 3 wins between them all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 PSV would make 1000 times more in gate receipts and tv rights than do in Eredivisie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not actually very appealing as a prospect, which is why it will never happen. These clubs do not want to suddenly endure regular seasons where they lose the majority of their games. The European Super League already exists in the role it is intended to perform, which is as a device for extorting their national associations into giving them all the concessions they want.

They'd be able to sign players at a much higher caliber than they can now. All the money in football would shift to this league and this is where the big name players will wan't to be. Just like Monaco were able to sign top players a few years back so would the likes of PSV if they joined this league. They'd become much more competitive pretty fast.

They (I assume we're still talking about PSV here) absolutely would not become more competitive. Every other team they played would have better players than them, and they would now be the smallest team and least attractive proposition in their division.

But still more attractive than pretty much every club outside of this league. No one is saying they would become Barcelona over a summer but they are historically a very successful club and it's only the silly money elsewhere that has distanced them from the elite in the last 15 years or so.

Okay, we may have to agree to disagree. Regardless, my point is that the league will not happen, because it existing as a league in which teams have to fear seasons when they lose the majority of games they play is far less useful to those teams than using the concept of it as leverage against national football associations. FA's should call their bluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Some of us have said in the past that modern football is rubbish and too much money sloshing about in it and how it would all come crashing down one day. Maybe we are approaching that day? Season potentially void? Maybe can't start next season? No one knows yet. No gate receipts for clubs. No TV money as Sky/BT won't pay for a product not on the pitch. Huge salaries paid for average players. Could it all collapse like a house of cards?

I guess clubs with rich owners would survive. UEFA would scrap FFP to allow clubs to bail themselves out. A lot would go under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
