European Super League Discussion

[.h.]

I hit an interesting realisation on reddit, too.

The 12 clubs would massively increase in value - for Inter, for example, our revenue jumps to like 450-550mil euros once we let for losing some CL revenues. If you dont run the risk of relegation, certain owners (I guess glazers, arsenal, etc) will actually be happy to not invest in the club and take dividends.

If signing a £100m player on £30m a year gross for 5 years means you spend £50m a season on them, the benefit they bring you needs to be probability x reward >£50m per season to justify it. considering the downside is limited with no ability to be relegated, why wouldnt you just take an extra £100-150m a year in dividends? I suspect for some clubs thats EXACTLY what they will do.

If they want a closed league with no relegation and a franchise-like system, start a new one with new clubs from scratch and leave traditional football alone.
They're free to use PL for this though, already set up the platform.

Don't worry. They won't take our ( or Milan's) scudetto so easily.

Who even gives a shit for some scudetto in this moment.

 

[Adriano@10]

fuck this shit...... fuck the extra money while i m an inter fan first i also am a fan of serie a and this moge would destroy it and it s legacy.....
main complaint about national leagues is that the gap between top teams and the rest is too big how the fuck is puttin another 100 mio+ in the pocket of top teams reducing that gap? also wtf are all these epl teams doing there either they suck atm or they have 0 history....
hope we pull out of this BS
also i like the fact that most leagues still have their own style of play we can kiss that goodbye once this fucking super league starts....

sardly the fuckers in charge know that football fans are not much better than junkies and we ll not be able to stay away for so long...
anyways i ll try not to watch a single game of this league even if my beloved inter plays

"Our primary job is to maximise our revenues and profits, the wider good of the game is a secondary concern."
"They would secretly be delighted if their players were banned from playing in competitions like the World Cup."

yep, thats the issue with private interests/equity ownership of clubs like this. The fundamental problem is that the directors are accountable to the shareholders, and the big thing is to create as much value as possible for your shareholders. That's exactly why Man Utd, Arsenal, etc, dont care about being competitive as much as they used ot.

 

[brehme1989]

To the list of UEFA, Premier League, fucking American funds and all that, I forgot the main culprits of them all.

The fucking European Union.

Well, fucking, done. You preach "monopolies are bad", yet you blocked every possible attack to the monopoly formation that your stupid legislations from the mid 90s brought. And now you want to intervene. Just fuck off with the other guys. UEFA only got more greedy and corrupt under Platini who decided to play along with this fucked up situation, that's 2008 and on. If there was a greedy fucker since the late 90s we'd see this take place before the 2006 World Cup (and not witness Juventus in Serie B as a result - trying to get you on point here )

 

[IM21]

i dont know how these clubs still wanna play the domestic league... All of the clubs that are not ''elite'' wont want them. So have fun playing max of 25 games a year. Well, Inter only 18, cause everyone knows these fucks wont do shit in that league. Also a super league without 2 best clubs in Europe, while Arsenal and Spurs are there. What a joke.

 

[Kev9Inter]

Seen this on twitter

*Man Utd & Real Madrid “ringleaders”
*3 US-owned PL clubs “really mean this”, sold on the NFL model of closed league with star clubs/players driving value
*others see it more as leverage over UEFA - unhappy new CL format means £ shared among more clubs..

It takes a special group of assholes to make UEFA the good guys

 

[Il Drago]

According to La Repubblica, Atalanta, Hellas Verona and Cagliari have asked for Inter, Milan and Juventus to be expelled from current Serie A season.

 

[.h.]

as above there'll be no legal basis to ban us from the league this season. We've done nothing wrong 'this season'. Of course in football you never know, but I'd be fucking surprised.

So much this.

I despise UEFA with their greed but these American investors are really on a different level. They are ruining the top of this sport.

Well Atalanta and Cagliari would be 2 of the biggest beneficiaries. In the short term at least until they realize their TV rights become worthless without the big clubs.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Of course no one is getting kicked out of the current Serie A. Games continue normally.

Hellas Verona have denied this

 

[.h.]

dont think anyone was suggesting we get kicked out, but perhaps a points deduction.

 

[Ethor]

How much longer until we see "the draft" becoming the main talent pipeline into elite level football? Disgusted.

I'm waiting for the wild card round to be implemented, then we can say "We've arrived".

Clearly this was set in stone a while ago in Agnelli's favor
