I don't disagree with that assessment. The economic impact would reverberate around football for years to come. But a counterpoint; this is merely a sign that football is in an economic bubble. So what's better - wait for it to burst, or burst it on purpose and take control of the fallout?
Right now I don't care about sensibility, logic or protecting the longevity of the CL. Burn it. Destroy it. Teach the world a lesson. Actions have consequences. If the selfishness of 12 clubs destroys the entire Champions League, even if the Super League never takes off, let it be a lesson. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
I thought I would feel rage for a few hours on Sunday, go to sleep, and wake up calmed down.
Not this time.
It doesn't matter if this is merely a power play to bend UEFA to structure the Champions League in a way that better suits the club. The fact they believed this was an acceptable course of action as a negotiating tactic – if that is indeed what this is, rather than a sincere attempt to break away from CL and Serie A – speaks volumes.
That raises the question – why am I even still here? Why am I bitching about Inter's greatest betrayal on an Inter forum? If this club is dead to me, why am I here, shouting into the void?
I need this. It is the emotional release of a funeral; acknowledging the entity you once knew is dead. I grew up admiring the respect, professionalism, and integrity of Il Capitano. All of that is now gone. I am angry. I stand here because I want to watch it fall apart. I want to watch it crumble. I want to watch Inter die. There is nothing human left in this club – only the soulless, corporate husk of profiteering. This is the reality of a zombie scenario; it does not matter if the person coming towards you was once the one you loved. You must neutralise them before they eat you alive and make them one of you.
