the exact same things that a hundreds of millions of people find entertaining about NFL, NBA, NHL. I love all three of those sports, and those closed leagues are for more entertaining and competitive than anything European football has offered up in the past 10-15 years.
I love football, and feel great nostalgia for the ‘90s to early ‘00s when I fell in love with the game. But the influx of absurd money without any real regulation and then regulation that just favours sugar daddy clubs like PSG and ManCity has killed any semblance of competition. It’s a joke now in that regard. I’m all for promotion/relegation, when all the other issues are fixed, but I’m also entirely fine with a new league beginning with a dozen spots closed for the founders for the first decade. They are the biggest clubs, the revenue drivers, and taking all the risk as always. After it is established set up a second division and then have promotion/relegation happen from that division.

I know what your saying but the history of football has taught us that when one giant falls off another one steps up. Look at the Atalanta’s, the RB Leipzig’s, the Leicester’s.
I’m not against the super league, obviously I want to see big games being played but if you close the competition off it’s repetitive and boring. The best CL seasons are not when the big clubs dominate, it’s when an underdog comes up out of nowhere and unsettled people (actually the best CLs are when Juve win but that never happens).
The money is fine, the competition is fine - but it’s not our right. We need to qualify and we need to pay the penalty if we are not good enough. Right now we aren’t a top team in Italy let alone Europe.
