It’s honestly baffling to me how their isn’t a bigger uproar on this issue right now… English clubs are quite literally outspending other leagues by a metric of 2x or even more in some cases. Even smaller clubs from England are able to spend 40M to get the players they want and these are clubs that no one knows about outside of England.
Premier League fans are very vocal and quite hostile towards the Saudi League for the same reason because they are doing the same thing PL has been doing to other European leagues in the past decade.
I get that EPL came to the top with honest work and I applaud them for it but there comes a time when the gap is getting so enormous that the authorities need to step in and rectify it before it’s too late. Because if it continues like this then there is no need for a Champions League because clubs from the other European Leagues would be minnows compared to what English clubs can do… at that point, it would be better to simply make PL the new UCL then because they would collectively have more talent than the rest of Europe…
that only works when the super league plays without english clubs and without english clubs its not really a “super league”, is it?
so, nothing will change with or without that league, besides all the usual big clubs getting richer and the gap between them and 99% of the rest of europe’s football clubs is getting bigger.
The Superleague wants to replace the Champions League or domestic Leagues? I dont understand how they think will fit.
