the spanish league fucked themselves for catering to barca and real madrid to decades. now they’re trying to ruin football bc the english league has a better model and organization. foh

i think real madrid & barcelona do just fine on player recruitment

The English are too many (said in thick Scottish accent)

First thing : that looks like a bullshit argument. He uses wealth gap as an excuse but anyone who genuinely is concerned about wealth gap won’t think of a Super League as a solution.

Second thing : Is it not the purpose of rules like financial fair-play to prevent those kind of thing to happen ? If it doesn’t work, so do better rules.

Good.

I guess to be the president of Atleti you have to completely ignore the Galaticos era of Spanish football…

Honestly though, was this guy in a coma from 2013-2018? What an absurd statement

Can someone hear make a superleague concept that could make sense? Like a nations league esc concept is the only thing that could make any sense

Why is it every time these fucks talk about the PL nicking all of the best players they never talk about Real and Barca having many of the best players in the world for the past 15 year. Look a bit closer to home pal.

Ohh boo hoo, just stop being shit maybe?

Fuck this guy

This is incredibly short sighted and stupid. The fundamental problem is that the social, cultural and economic models we operate under produce monopolies naturally. It’s ultimately irrelevant where you arbitrarily insert break points in the data set in order to declare the problem solved. At best you get a temporary reprieve. All you have to do is just wait a little bit and eventually the same environment produces the same results and you will again have monopolistic outcomes where a small subset of participants dominate.

As opposed to the Madrids taking all the best players from Spain back in the glory days? Nobody wins today except big money and they are just sore that their money isn’t big enough anymore.

Lie down with dogs- you get fleas.

Eventually it will probably be English Premier League vs. European Super League

Remember when Serie A and La Liga had the likes of Rijkaard, Van Basten, Romario, Stoijhkov, Michael Laudrup, Baresi, Platini etc?

Same would happen with a Superleague too, unless you make it so that Superleague clubs leave their national leagues altogether. Otherwise PL clubs will keep the financial advantage of having a more popular league worldwide over the rest of the Superleague competition. So say it out loud “we want to end national leagues because the PL is too dominant economically, we want to end the architecture club football has been built on over the past century because someone is doing better than us even though we tried really hard to gain a dominant position with massive tax breaks and loose regulation on debt for decades”.
