Is there really that much more money in this than CL/Europa league. I get that for the English teams it's nice to know they'll always have a spot but Barca, Madrid and PSG already have such unfair advantages with regards to domestic league that it's not like their spot was ever at risk. Or is the plan to do this AND Champions League, in which case, who the gently caress wants to watch that much? Although I guess with all the extra games they can finally have game time for all the talent everyone hordes.

Lawyers L'equipe talked to are saying it probably violates EU competition laws to ban players from participating in a tournament because their club is participating in a rival one.

Please don't start using "legacy fans" unironically.

What's the reaction been like in Italy and Spain? I assume as negative as in England?

To add on to what dex_sda has already mentioned, every non-ESL team in La Liga have put out statements saying they disagree with the ESL and distance themselves from it.

If their intention is for 15 permanent clubs, I don't understand why the 12 thought it was a good idea to announce. Why didn't they sew up the remaining 3 before making the announcement?

That's either inept or they are negotiating on a grand scale and I can't figure out which.

The NYT scooped the story, forcing them to announce at midnight on sunday.

the royal league was fun because they scheduled the games to be played from november to february

im all for the esl or any other pan-european league if they force the games to be played during winter so we get more orange ball football

Banning Juve from UEFA competition for the next two years won't be much of a punishment. Unless they're saying the ban will be for the next 2 tournaments they actually qualify for.

That's usually how it works, unless I'm mistaken.

Is this a credible source? Nevermind saw the byline by Philipe Auclair lol fifa is the worst

Yeah, Josimar is a solid Norwegian football magazine that focuses on football politics. They're fairly well hated by FIFA after reporting on them previously and they got a partnership with The Guardian covering Qatar as they've reported on it for years.
