Until now I've tolerated our president's lack of hamsumness and especially that misereable boomerang sprouting above his eyes. It bothers me guyes
That may have been acceptable for Serie A, CL and UEFA but we cannot have an uggo face seated at the founders table of the SL.
How can we beautify our presidente?

How so?

That's a completely different discussion.
Clubs such as Juventus and Real Madrid have become big because of their national federations and because of the European championships organised by UEFA. Now that they are big and well known, they basically want to close off the market for other teams and generate wealth within their little circle of teams.
That is deeply cynical and not something I can stand behind.

That's like your career. You start off and you know jack shit. Your company accepts you're a nobody and teaches you everything. Then a couple of years later you either move to a bigger company that offers you bigger wages or you start your own company using the knowledge that company gave you.
If it's cynical why do it yourself?

North American professional sports are far less plastic than the actual competitors in European football. Salary caps, salary floors, proper revenue sharing for competitiveness, building teams through the draft, instead of big teams spending hundreds of millions buying up every half-talented player.
Lol at calling closed leagues plastic. UEFA has had every chance to rid itself of corruption and the broken financial system of European football to make it competitive again. Instead they chose greed and corruption and utterly failed.
Even if this doesn’t go through, they could learn a lot from the professionalism of North American sports leagues, because they have zilch.

I think it’s a good idea, but the Super League should be a open competition with promotion/relegation and without some protected status for the founding clubs.
The UEFA/FIFA are some corrupt crooks. Participating in the SL already earns us ~3 times more than winning the CL, imagine how much money ends up in the pockets of those frauds. I genuinely dislike them and don’t trust them one bit, the threats that they would disallow players participating in their shitty WC shows how they’re shitting in their pants.
And to be fair, the groupstage in CL has always been a joke. Nobody is really waiting to play games against minor teams. I don’t want to disrespect them, but it’s the harsh truth.
I rather see us playing more often against the likes of Liverpool, City, Barca etc instead of 2 games against Barca like this year. It’s more entertaining. And of course it’s a money driven decision by those 12 clubs, but in some way I understand it, why the hell would you listen to a corrupt organization like the UEFA/FIFA. The blood on the workers hands in Qatar is still wet ffs.
The saddest part is for the clubs like Ajax, Porto, Benfica and basically every club who are somewhat close to the elite, as they won’t play against big clubs if they don’t qualify for the SL. That why I think it should be a open competition with the risk of relegation for the bigger teams.

Yeah, its ridiculous. Uefa taking some moral high ground.
If these clubs want to create their own market where they will offer only their brand, again there is nothing Uefa can do. It's like any other business, unfortunately. This is what proffessional sport has evolved into and Uefa takes no small part in this evolution. The question whether football fans will become saturated after a while, when every week there will be 10 high profile games and whether it will lose novelty to a point it will diminish its appeal, remains to be seen.
