, transfer restrictions, etc... Out of all possibilities they chose to base their model of FFP on P&L. Its just useless when you take Arab owners into consideration and their almost infinite resources. They absolutely destroyed any kind of fair competition and inflated the market, which in turn made clubs go further in debt to stay relevant.

Idk, could be, but not sure.
"FC Bayern did not participate in the planning of the Super League. We are convinced that the current system in football guarantees a serious basis. FC Bayern welcomes the reforms of the Champions League because we believe that they will help to develop the European football"
"I do not believe that the Super League will solve the financial problems of those clubs (caused by Corona). Rather, all clubs in Europe should work in solidarity to ensure that the cost structure, in particular player salaries and the fees for the consultants, is more orientated based on the clubs income."
That's Rummenigge. Dortmund agree 100%

Rummenigga left the door open with this statement, they can always come back and say we got a chance to sit with the SL and they gave us the following guarantees which addressed our initial concerns.
Also as i said one of the things that got me sold on this is an owner centered org will effectively tackle excessive player and agent power.
I get that guy. An average fan won't have the money to go and travel to Milan, or Madrid and so on but the existence of this new league is not the problem. The problem is wealth distribution so an average fan can travel to Milan, Madrid and see his favorite club once in a while. Maybe learn about, other cultures as well, drink foreign beer, wine, fuck some prostitutes.

IMO the current CL has three big problems:
1) with the revenue gap so big, the group stage is pointless in half the groups (f.e. this season groups A, C, E and G). even further, winning the group hardly guarantees you a weaker opponent, which makes it even more pointless.
2) there are too many teams which brings down the overall quality of the tournament. If you look at the 16 teams that exited the group stage this season in CL, only Inter, Shakhtar, Ajax and United are teams I'd consider tuning in for as a neutral, so you have 12 teams that globally no one cares about, between them they have maybe 12 players the average fan has heard about, maybe even less.
3) even though it is true that there are too many teams, still some of the biggest teams in the continent are not qualifying for CL due to competition in bigger leagues being a lot more fierce. the Atalanta's and Lazio's making the CL over Milan is not the problem, both had a fun run in CL this season, Midtyland and Krasnodar making the CL over Milan is the problem.
The CL reforms might fix the first problem (even though I find the proposed format very strange), but they do nothing to fix the 2nd and 3rd, they actually make it worse by adding extra 4 irrelevant teams. The SL format may not be ideal (hardly anything is), but for me it gets a lot closer to solving those problems.

the combination of 2) and 3): people simply doesn't care about cl anymore until the final stages of the competition. clubs play too many irrelevant matches. (and there's also the europa league, a completely irrelevant competition in itself.)
and what @DS8_Montero said earlier is important too: risk isn't rewarded for 99% of the clubs.
a 2-division cl with a couple of permanent members (like the breakout teams, minus spurs, arsenal, plus bayern and psg) and a tv deal overhaul could have probably saved cl. the elite keeps the cl interesting on the long term, not the odd runs by underdogs like ajax 2 seasons ago.

as long as CL is administered by UEFA, a democratic organization pandering to the needs of the 55 member countries as equally as possible, those changes won't happen. even if half of those 55 countries haven't had a single CL groupstage appearance for decades and 3/4 of them haven't had a knockout CL appearance for decades.
