Has anybody read anything about some kind of agreement about transfers between SL clubs? Some kind of trading system like in North American sports instead of the transfer fee system we use now? For me the state of transfer fees today in football is so far removed from reality that something needs to be done about that. In the context of the SL trades could actually work in a way that would be next to impossible across Europe otherwise.

Yeah I'm reading it like it's the 12 announced clubs plus PSG, Bayern and BVB is who they have in their plans. We'll see what those 3 do and if they don't go for it who will be the next 3 invited? Ajax? Napoli? Roma?
God please not crapoli or lazio. Insignificant cretins.

It's interesting to consider this in the context of players being banned from future UEFA competitions if they appear in the SL. So you'd see longer contracts signed by players with the SL itself, and then some kind of draft taking place. After their contract is up and nobody in the SL wants to sign them I guess they'd have to go to South America or the MLS or Asia. But then some young player pops up playing for a mid-table club in Belgium and in order to get him to sign for Barcelona they need to give him a whopping great contract to lure him away from PSG.
Banning players for competing in other leagues breaks anti trust laws at the EU level.
Also banning teams that play in certain competitions do that, because UEFA does it to preserve a monopoly not for the greater good of the sport.

The only reason ESL games were set to be played in the middle of the week is that all ESL teams intend to participate in national leagues. If UEFA do ban them and if the clubs abide this decision, ESL participants won't have any reason to stick to midweek. And it makes situation even more spicy.

ESL will surely move their games to weekends. Also, they will surely spread all of those top games throughout the weekends. It will give them more money from TV contracts and sponsorship deals. And it will destroy all the national leagues because we all know what games most fans will prefer.

With financial backing ESL have, they will easily maintain such a siege for years. UEFA won't endure even two seasons, because unlike ESL consisting of 20 teams max, UEFA will have to financially support tens of leagues and hundreds of clubs. It would be impossible in their golden years, it's beyond impossible in this economy.

So, UEFA are either bluffing (best case scenario for them) or they're not seeing clearly the entire matrix of options ESL have to respond with.

I think the ESL would help a lot with youth development at actual big clubs. They’d all have B/development teams. And they’d be more focussed on bringing in young, talented players to play in a highly competitive developmental league until they were ready. Much like you see in the NHL for example, where vast majority of players aren’t often ready to play in the pros right after being drafted.

ESL wouldn’t necessarily have to have a draft system, but focussing on developing youth within organizations would be pretty great instead of just letting small clubs do it and then buying all the talent for obscene fees the moment they explode.

all those teams already do that and Juve is notably trash at it. Marchisio was the last decent player to come out of their academy.

Nah. Some do it, and only to a degree. Juve is notably worse than a lot of them. But almost none have a really great developmental system that consistently is churning out first team players, aside from for brief periods of time. Hence the reason why every club in this super league proposal spends a fortune on transfers.

but how would this make it better? They’d throw more money at it?

I have just finished reading the Perez interview. LOL. It is full of lies, misinformation and delusions. I do not buy even for a second this guy believes even half the crap he shared in this propaganda piece.
Honestly, I have read more coherent ramblings by Trump on Twitter.
