What if that was their masterplan all along, tricking the british into the gold knowing that they would back off the minute they feel the heat and got offered more gold, then accepting all those germans french and whatever teams that tricked the english by saying noooo, we are not joining the SL, and leaving them to play CL with the Atalantas, Celtics, Rangers and Galatasarays of Europe?
The fans in England are against it. The clubs were not payed off. This was blabla from the paper Mundo Deportivo.
Now even Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are not sure.
The Superlega is as good as death.
Your point about media presence is definitely valid, but the english couldn't even handle a day of pushback, this was never gonna fly no matter how it was organized imo
