⚽ The European Super League ( ESL) Updates, Europe Futbul Odds & Predictions ⚽

[KTChampions]

I hope this is the beginning of the end for vile organizations like FIFA and UEFA. Big football is a business and businessmen themselves should be engaged in it and not goats officials who are mired in corruption and, in fact, manage other people's money. I hope events will develop according to a tough scenario and clubs from the Super League will be banned everywhere (like the players) and they will leave FIFA and UEFA forever and thus we will get an independent normal organization. I believe that the future belongs to the Super League.

I don't understand why you've opened this thread if you really think this so-called "project" will never take place? It sounds a little bit ridiculous.

I'm not against the project I'm not just comfortable the way the matter is being handled, the proposal is a good one but it came at the wrong time, why not wait till after the current campaign, now Chelsea, Rel Madrid, Man City, Manutd and Arsenal are set to get kickout of the the current UEFA competition.

I think I read somewhere that Dortmund and PSG already turned them down and that Bayern is expected to do the same.

Bayern Munich also turned down the offer, they love being on the farm land.

The Super League idea sounds pretty straightforward on paper. My major concern is if it would be able to live up to the promises. While I'm not too biggy on the Super League, I'm particularly glad that the reign and era of FIFA and UEFA is coming to an end.  That's why they've been fighting very hard to put an end to the Super League before it even gets a chance to debut.

From now on I will be supporting Bayern Munich!
Germany’s rules on fan ownership, known as 50%+1 for the voting stake which members must have, pose a problem for the Super League.
German fans could in theory block their clubs from being involved. Bayern was due to have its annual general meeting last week but it was postponed to the end of the year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Bayern members have a 75% stake in the company which runs the team. The rest is held by sponsors.

German fans would eventually gets on the bandwagon when they see that the Super league project is yet to stay and that it would be the biggest competition we've seen yet.

Fans arent happy about this so i think this wont work
Americans trying to do what they done to their sports. This wont work

Its more like destroying the whole ecosystem. The current league system ensure that small teams will be getting some good amounts everytime they play against those big names which then help those small teams to build up their teams however the Super League is taking away all those big names thus destroying all those small teams as well

In the long run, its kinda like turning football into some sort of entertainment instead of sport

I'm not against the project I'm not just comfortable the way the matter is being handled, the proposal is a good one but it came at the wrong time, why not wait till after the current campaign, now Chelsea, Rel Madrid, Man City, Manutd and Arsenal are set to get kickout of the the current UEFA competition.

Its to show FIFA that they are dead serious about this. Its kinda like telling FIFA that they got nothing to lose even if they all decided to go with the ESL

This impossible the UEFA cannot decide the fate of the players in the worldcup that's the work of FIFA and UEFA shouldn't cross the line in an attempt to put fear in the mind of the players, UEFA can only stop players from her continent from playing in the Euros and not the other way round.

How can they stop Messi from participating in the worldcup? Adidas is the biggest sponsor of the FIFA Worldcup while Messi is the biggest Adidas ambassador.

No Messi No Sponsor.

The UEFA are totally against it and from his words as I quote;

"All players that play in the Super League will be banned from playing in Euros and the World Cup."

[avikz]

I absolutely cannot imagine UEFA putting up with that. This would make competitions like the Euro League and the Champions League obsolete in one fell swoop.
I also find the composition of the Super League very "interesting", e.g. with Bayern and Paris SG 2 absolute top clubs in Europe are missing, instead teams would play here that would not even have realistic chances of winning a title in their national leagues - let alone in a Euro or Champions League.

In my opinion, the project is doomed to failure and will certainly not take place.

Another puritan view! ESL is just a repackaged and re-branded version of European club football games. The concept is very similar to what has been done in cricket as T20 or the famous IPL game. Now the time has come to football to make it more exciting.

Due to the covid situation, the stadium games are in the brink of collapse. The incomes from various endorsements are drying out. So the ESL is simply a survival strategy where people will be more interested and the money will start rolling. Be adaptable to changes brother!

Interview with the ESL chairman Florentino Perez he talked about some major challenges, the goal, the reason behind the establishment of the league, he also talked about how they plan Football through ESL.

Perez on why the league was implemented

Whenever there is a change, there are always people who oppose it. We are doing this to save football at this critical moment," Perez said on Spanish TV show El Chiringuito de Jugones.

"Audiences are decreasing and rights are decreasing and something had to be done. We are all ruined. Television has to change so we can adapt.

"Young people are no longer interested in football. Why not? Because there are a lot of poor quality games and they are not interested, they have other platforms on which to distract themselves."

Real Madrid are joined by La Liga rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, as well as Premier League clubs Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.

Perez makes nonsense claims. How can he say young people are no longer interested in football when you can see the stands full of plastic fans for City? They made football attractive. Kids every day still play football and have their favorite jerseys on,,, world cup is still the most watched sporting event in the world.

Has he lost his bonkers?

LOL you shouldn't dream too much like that, the kick off of the European Super League won't happen in the coming weeks and teams still belonging to the UEFA Champions League won't participate to it before the end of the tournament. They're not crazy, they won't take the risk to be banned from the final of the Champions League or the Europa League just for one or two starting matchdays in this totally new competition.

As said Jesper Moller who is a member of the UEFA Executive Committee. UEFA will take strict sanctions for every club that follows the European Super League, and they will be banned from playing in all UEFA competitions.
The same sanctions also apply in the Europa League, MU and Arsenal are Super League club that still play in the Europa League.

U think he was talking about the UEFA Champions League and he may be right, from the past two years the level of corruption has crippled the league, from the officiating down to the finances, participating clubs are being robbed, given a little amount while UEFA keep the big sum in their purse, the passion for the game was certainly fading.

it would be simply unbelievable to see this happening, and on the other hand, it is the only chance for PSG to take the title
nevertheless, UEFA making this step will make football destined to basketball situation few years ago, with two FIBA Superleague and Euroleague, where it is clear who will win

there is no way for fans to merit UEFA competition more than European Super league, no matter how it is called, it is a matter of football quality

This doesn't make sense. Crowning PSG without playing a single game of the finals? Then when PSG switch stance and join that ESL, they will strip that title from them?
I believe the ESL should take place between first 4 teams in CL + EL after few modifications of those 2 leagues.

[Igebotz]

This is outside Stanford bridge where a protest is taking place before the game against Brighton tonight, the fans are calling on the club to do the rightful thing, the fans are totally against their team being part of the founding clubs of the European super league and they are asking the club to reconsider their decision of boycotting the league and champions league to play in the European super league. If Chelsea doesn't back down till Friday they will be disqualified from the champions league according to the UEFA chairman.


This is getting more serious than expected.

[cygan]

well then i am curious what will come out of this round of discussions...

LFC captain Jordan Henderson has reportedly called an emergency meeting between PremierLeague captains for tomorrow to discuss the proposed SuperLeague.

[dothebeats]

The announcement of this new league obviously garnered a lot of negative reactions from fans and other leagues alike. I can't blame those teams who immediately signed up for this super league. Lots and lots of complaints about corruption and poor management have been arising from both FIFA and UEFA for years, and teams just want to get that new breath of fresh air and be motivated to play the game they love and make money from. I'm not much of a football fan but if the new league gives something to the fans and to the teams that weren't addressed by FIFA and UEFA for the last decade, then all's well that ends well.

Depends... From "strike" to bigger bank accounts... I mean this is a war and IMHO it's too early to conclude what can happen. The sure thing is that the only ones that are in favor are the 12 club owners, not the teams as a whole.

As Florentino Perez said during an interview with El Chiringuito, "We have reached the conclusion that with the European Super League we can alleviate the club's losses." The European Super League will help the club recover financially in the midst of the pandemic. When the club has no income other than television broadcasting rights, Hopefully the European Super League can be the right medium to increase club income. Big team matches will be even more exciting allowing audiences around the world to watch the big clubs compete.

there is no way for fans to merit UEFA competition more than European Super league, no matter how it is called, it is a matter of football quality

If FIFA completely bans 12 team from joining the European Super League then the UCL competition will die. And PSG will be the next king of UCL.

Image is illustration only.

Crowning PSG without playing a single game of the finals?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but if we look at FIFA's firm stance on the team that joins ESL PSG will get the UCL title automatically without having to continue the competition.

Then when PSG switch stance and join that ESL, they will strip that title from them?

The possibility that FIFA will strip the UCL title from the hands of PSG, like FIFA pulled the Scudetto from Juventus when they got caught in a score-fixing case a few years ago.

Totally. I was shocked to see my club Arsenal being one of sthe founding clubs. I am really switching my club to some other maybe Leeds if I see them playing in ESL. I am kinda sure that players from these teams will also strongly oppose the idea of their club participation in this but right now nothing is clear.

I can only say one thing: If they do this , they can earn money as much as they want but they won't earn fans support or respect ever.
