u can never have enough money, but the fans are the problem imo, for some reason they wont accept parting ways with UEFA.
I think the real problem was the presentation of the project. In Eurobasketball at the start of 2000ies ~half of Euroleague clubs created a new Euroleague controlled by the clubs and left FIBA with the other half of the biggest clubs. After a season or two FIBA caved and accepted that from then on they only control the national team competitions while all the european club competitions where organized by a private company run by the 13 biggest clubs in Europe. And none of the problems that fans were concerned about in regards to Superleague are present in European basketball, the sport isn't dead.
The fact that smth like this has happened in the same continent in a team sport that shares many sporting clubs with football and the fact that it was a big success was a big advantage to the Superleague project, but they dropped the ball so heavily and the project reveal was such an amateur hour job that the Superleague vol.1 itself has became the biggest enemy to any future possibilities. and when I look how that project was defended by Agnelli and co, I don't have a lot of hope that we'll do the best defense possible for our current issues, for some reason our guys in charge are not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier.
