I could see a European super league becoming a US style franchise system, with city moves, drafts, expansions and all that crap.

Don't get me wrong I love US sports but football is much better for being so much closer to grass roots.

Let the “big six” sod off. We won’t miss them.

european super league has been coming since the 80s

v surprised it's taken so long to actual form

the champions league was always just a compromise between the big clubs and UEFA

4 of whom such can't even win the English league so what would be the point of them joining another league they won't win. Money is the answer I guess.

How do you stop it?

What do you mean by this post?

Franchises? Like Liverpool would move to Baku if they built them a stadium and promised more money?

Drafts? Like the college system in the US? Teams would no longer sign players as kids but draft them from universities?

Expansions? The league would add more teams?

Do t mean to sound like a d!ck but I really don't understand anything you say here Fred.

Well, I thought I was just talking to Donny Rovers' fans. I'm flabbergasted that fans of Liverpool, Forest, Celtic, Leeds, and Real Madrid (!?!) bother to look at JA606 from "the likes of Doncaster".

They’ve only come to see the Rovers.

Well you lose the whole idea of relegation and promotion. You have several elite clubs and they break away from the rest of the football pyramid which is how it works stateside. That would be sad to see.

I don’t know why this European Super League is seen by inevitable by everyone. I don’t think fans from any team from any country would actually want to see it happen. Plus, how would they even work out who belongs in the league and who doesn’t. You can’t have 6 teams from England in the Super League when 3 of those 6 have never won the CL and 2 of those 6 have never won the PL.

If you have 6 English clubs then what’s to stop the Leverkusens, Marseilles and Villarreals of this world thinking they should be in the league too. All of a sudden you’ve got 40 teams clamoring to be in there looking for their payday and it becomes a pointless exercise.

UEFA should bring in a 3rd teir competition and also stop rewarding CL failures with a 2nd chance of success by giving them a bye to the EL last 32. Those are the changes they should be making, non of this Super League crap

Yeah that doesn't make any sense. The elite clubs don't break away from anything over here. They all play in one league.

There will be no franchises or drafts or expansions or whatever else terms you want to sling around

Hound only if 26 is playing surely

Lanza, I am glad you agree.
