The money aspect is fine. What's wrong is that they are excluding everyone else and cementing their status.

Essentially they have taken away the free market.

One feature of a free market is the ability for participants to create their own markets and black/dark pools.

The notion of decentralization powered by willing and able market participants is beautiful imo

This goes against the very core of football. This is not the NFL or the NBA. Football is a global sport in which teams are promoted and demoted. In which Porto or Dortmund can win the Champions League. Big teams protecting their interests by cutting everyone else out and shoving this new format down our throats?

Count me out.

I don't know why I had the feeling that you would have supported the idea. I am surprised at your stand.

What? It was always called Internazionale Milano, if Im not mistaken.
that's their former name, they changed it recently

anyway, "internazionale" literally means international, and they always relied on foreign players, much more than juventus. completely different identity to juve, which was always tied to italian players, youth as the name suggests, and torino/italy via their ownership by the agnelli family. and let's not forget that the most italian national players come from juventus historically, and the strongest azzurri teams alwas heavily relied on a juve core. what you said is simply inaccurate.

I don't understand why this is being celebrated... This is soulless American style competition, where the sport itself comes 3rd or 4th and profit is the clear number 1. You complain that this club lost it soul, there is no passion from the players, the board only care about plusvalenza, etc. Well wait until we play in this plastic competition...
Thank you.

"Porto and Dortmund can win the CL"

No they couldn't because the system was badly governed from the start and there was too much money already at stake

All this mess is due to UEFA's incompetency

This.

innovation and change is sparked by inefficient markets creating opportunities and a dire need for change. This is yet another just another example.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi replaces Andrea Agnelli as ECA chairman after Super League announcement :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol::lol::lol:

The fallout of some former members of the UEFA following the announcement of the European Super League has made Andrea Agnelli lose his position as the chairman of ECA, the leading organization for European clubs. Juventus announced yesterday that they would become one of the founding members of the European Super League, a breakaway competition that would represent the Champions League for Europe’s top sides. The Bianconeri joined the likes of England’s top six, Real Madrid and Barcelona to champion the new elite competition.

Agnelli has been an important member of the UEFA board before now and was ECA Chairman. However, with the other European teams set to meet today, RMC Sport via Calciomercato reports that he has been replaced in that position by PSG’s Nasser Al-Khelaifi who will lead the latest meeting. The meeting is set to have the European Super League at the top of their list of deliberations, thanks to the revolt from the teams.

UEFA had originally planned to reveal some changes to its current Champions League, which has been due for some time now. It remains unclear if they would go ahead with their plans to revamp the Champions League. They have also threatened the breakaway teams that they would be excluded from other competitions including banning their players from turning out for their national teams and it would be interesting to see the next twist that this takes.

Juventus fans getting all sentimental about loyalty to locality doesnt make sense.
Juventus was always meant to be global. Never attached to a city or even country.

If locality is your thing you should've went for Napoli or Roma.
Fucken dweeb, learn the history of your club

Damn :lol: I'm still against the Superleague, but this appointment in UEFA makes it a bit harder.
