The ESL is a bad idea for reasons of fairness, but those people thinking its matches would be boring are crazy. They would absolutely be more entertaining than watching Slavia Prague or Zenit get thumped for the umpteenth time.

They could probably make a poo poo ton of TV revenue just by not following the Champion's League schedule of airing games at 3 in the morning in East Asia/Southeast Asia

Halve the size of all domestic leagues, play only until December. Everyone is sorted into a different European league based on league position. Then it’s European league season until May. That’s my big-money idea.

tbh they absolutely could have rode out the criticism. it’s shocking how unprepared they were though. i doubt any of these clubs even have a risk analysis or due diligence report sitting anywhere on their desktops. it’s always been shocking how unprofessionally these multi-billion dollar organizations are run.

They should just test them out in the FA Cup first. Will be shameful if they add them to the regular league and they crash and burn.

ESL was a bad idea but it doesn't mean promotion/relegation is a good one either. In practice there isn't much mobility between tiers. With TV rights the top league tends to have far more resources than the lower ones and it leads to things like Championship clubs spending a gently caress ton on wages. I don't know what's a better system though.

Real Betis finished in 6th place with a 40-year-old captain playing regularly lol. Last time I saw a Premier League player this old was probably Teddy Sheringham at West Ham.

Club World Cup sounds fun, but lol that they haven’t actually talked to any of the regional federations.

A bunch of clubs are already preemptively saying they won’t join the new league but a few teams like PSV are playing coy. I think the most likely outcome is UEFA revamps the CL to the clubs’ whims rather than a Super League actually happening.
