JP Morgan again part of the financial planning. However, critics saying the proposed 6billion funding won’t sustain the hypothetical European Super League for more than a season.
Clear and naked greed behind these proposals. The cartel that dominate football can’t afford wee teams like Leicester or Atalanta to take their entitled places at the trough that is the Champions League. They don’t want competition nor can they afford it.
Huge clubs that are run as appalling business models are in deep trouble ( it mentions Barca, Roma, Dortmund as examples). Football in Europe seen as a cheap way to buy into a sport with a global profile, so attracting the international money that we see so obviously in England.
Anyone in any doubt as to what football has become should have a look.

UEFA obviously taking recent chat seriously. Empty threat in my opinion but it will give them time to work out how to give the big clubs what the want anyway within their own set up. A Euro league is not far away, probably by stealth of turning the Champions league into it. Eventually they will move it to the weekends and the clubs will withdraw from their domestic leagues.

Think this statement was aimed at the likes of Liverpool, Barcelona & Juventus etc and their chat of a closed shop super league and not the Atlantic league. What it does mean though is that any proposed set up involving Scottish & Scandinavian clubs would have to include proposals on a relegation/promotion mechanism and no ‘closed shop’

I think the point is that UEFA wouldn’t be issuing threats unless it considered the proposed breakaway league to be a serious possibility.

Hopefully this puts an end to it. Nonsense idea. Players definitely will not be in favour of it now.

Really hope/wish they mean it, stopped watching European footie a while back because of the naked corruption & closed shop nature of the 'product.' Used to love watching Barca in particular but don't miss it at all now.
Absolutely nothing in it for the teams outside the big 4/5 (?).

It's more likely that young players would play in the officially recognised leagues to make their names and get a few caps, then disappear for the money. No different to a young player leaving their first club for a bigger salary sitting on the bench at the Ugly Sisters.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

This is Uefa’s new proposals for the champions league. This is how a European super league will happen. Slowly, season by season incremental changes so that moving the games to the weekend seems sensible by the time they suggest it and the clubs are already fielding weaker teams domestically.

if it is slow and incremental we probably don’t need to worry about a crap Atlantic league setup for maybe another couple of decades.

The big teams will become massive and the EPL will fall backwards and their TV contracts will fall away.
Might help Scotland by making the non Euro League English teams much poorer.

The second bullet point on the list is the one that’s really worrying and why all these proposals to consolidate power and wealth in the hands of the big clubs needs to opposed at every turn. People need to be united on it rather than just saying ‘aw well it’s going to happen we may as well make the best of it’.
Regardless of whether people think they would prefer trips to Scandinavia every other week as opposed to Motherwell, surely most people can agree that “elite clubs” just being given spots that they haven’t earned is just plain wrong?

So clubs who fail to qualify on merit will be given special dispensation because they will carry elite status. I wonder what will make them elite clubs..? If, and it’s not a very big if, it’s financial status that’s the whole thing humped.
