a friend of mine just sent me this. it's a ~3-year-old article, and it's an especially interesting read in light of the recent developments:
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-european-football-infantino-champions-league
the highlighted sentence (i mean this: "Whatever you propose in football you will not be 100% backed.") is basically the last sentence of my previous post
yeah, you can't please them all.
i also read an interesting article in hungarian. i'll try to back it with english sources; point is that the super league will propose a much more lucrative help for non-sl clubs compared to uefa: 10bn euros will be offered to grassroots funding for the 23 years, which is around 4 times what uefa currently spends on similar purposes.
and here is a really fun one too:
juve is still 4th (tied with city) on the uefa club rankings, but whatever.

So for all bitching that Europe is not America, that we have a different mentality, system, etc, this is EXACTLY the same thing which the Euroleague did in basketball - they have 18 members, of which 11 are permanent founding members and 7 members can be changed (5 based on reuslts and 2 wildcards).

UEFA literally just reformed after the last scandals, and still doing the exact same shit. No transparency, endless corruption.
Apparently, closed leagues are shit and not competitive. Even the CL is less competitive than North American major sports leagues. Domestic leagues are a complete joke now. Lol
My ideal SL line up:
1. Juve, 2. Milan, 3. Inter, 4. Roma;
5. Real, 6. Barça, 7. Atletico, 8. Valencia;
9. MU, 10. Liverpool, 11. Arsenal, 12. Chelsea, 13. City, 14. Tottenham (only because of London's appeal and that amazing stadium);
15. Bayern, 16. Dortmund;
17. PSG;
18. Benfica, 19. Porto;
20. Ajax.

FFP fucked over everyone outside EPL who wasn’t already elite. Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1. Any club who wasn’t elite or didn’t have some rich sheikh just ignoring the rules and daring UEFA to do something about it (of course these corrupt chickens back down), was screwed over with no path forward to becoming a top level club.
