European Super League - Dead on arrival

Fair play to Raziel who was right on this (unlike me). (though I am interested in which court).

Guess it doesn't make too much different to Spurs seeing as the owners were going to meet the costs themselves but still....

Considering it was going to cost Lewis £7m he might as well put that in the transfer pot!

Although it probably didn't take long for them to be advised the fine was never gonna stick anyway.

It was a court in Madrid that made this ruling, but the case is now to be reviewed by the ECJ.

Ok so just read the second article. New proposals would be two leagues of 20 teams with promotion and relegation.
I suppose it would depend on if the 14 Prem clubs required to force a rule change feel they would have a realistic chance of getting into the ESL and whether that would be financially worth the risk of the EPL losing a lot of value.

Who said anything about destroying their revenue stream?

Read the interview with parish, he wants the clubs to be in charge of the competitions and uefa to govern the game. I have no idea what the new proposals will be. Knowing perez they will be brick again. But at some point, someone will come up with a proposal that works and would be acceptable. The clubs themselves will take control over competitions just as the premier league did.

See my post above.

If the proposals had been the same as originally planned then the EPL without the "big 6" would be worth sod all, goodbye revenue stream for the remaining clubs.

The original proposals the esl simply replaced the cl. The big 6 would still play in the prem. Still wasn't a fan even if teams could be relegated. It's too many games.
The big 6 would not ditch the prem. At the moment it is the richest league in the world.

Think the new proposals will go the same way as the original version.

Are you sure? That wasn't my understanding at all and I assumed that was why all the anger about it.
Perhaps the idea was that the 6 would field a youth/ under 23 squad in the Prem.

Inspired by European basketball's EuroLeague,[41][42][43] the proposed competition was to feature twenty clubs who would take part in matches against each other; fifteen of these would be permanent members, dubbed "founding clubs", who would govern the competition's operation, while five places would be given to clubs through a qualifying mechanism focused on the teams who performed best in their country's most recent domestic season. Each year, the competition would see the teams split into two groups of ten, playing home-and-away in a double round-robin format for 18 group matches per team, with fixtures set to take place midweek to avoid disrupting the clubs' involvement in their domestic leagues. At the end of these group matches, the top three of each group would qualify for the quarter-finals, while the teams finishing fourth and fifth from each group would compete in two-legged play-offs to decide the last two quarter-finalists. The remainder of the competition would take place in a four-week span at the end of the season, with the quarter-finals and semi-finals featuring two-legged ties, while the final would be contested as a single fixture at a neutral venue.[33] Each season of the competition would feature 197 matches (180 in the group stage and 17 in the knockout stage).[44]

On 15 October 2021 it was announced that the European Super League Company, led by Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus, was planning an open league with two divisions of 20 clubs each, intended to compete with the Champions League and Europa League.[45]

This was more my understanding of how it would have played out.
