Surely it’s doomed to fail then
if the clubs already want different things
There is no disagreement, it's simple
- Owners/investors of the clubs who spend the most money (who's brand recognition makes these competitions what they are), want some protection from a bad year or two (self inflicted or not like Covid), and want a little more say in managing their schedule (how often has FA/UEFA fudged us on scheduling, my earlier example of flimflam small clubs blocking 5 sub rule in PL)
- Non English clubs are freaking out about the rise of a tier beyond the top 6 (e.g. a Leicester/Everton) due to domestic league gaps in revenue of PL vs the rest
- They want help with large scale infrastructure investments (stadiums example, the FA did fudge all for us, again despite them being a benefiting party)
these conversations have been done to death and like plenty of people on this thread, the FA and UEFA have taken the fudge them stance, they were warned.
There is zero chance a Superleague where every week the top 15 clubs that everyone in the world knows play each other doesn't generate tons of revenue. I wouldn't doubt if the 3.5B put up will be covered immediately with tv rights. This model has been done in US already, it works.
For those going on about local fans, the clubs have just played for a year without any fans, so the atmosphere will change but the money will go up and the seats will be full.
