European Super League

Would be boss if we can get shot of them permantely.

Everton and Spurs the two new titans of English football battling it out for the title.

Billionaire's wanting to pioneer the new league start buying into the sleeping giant clubs like us, Spurs, West Ham, Sheffield Clubs, Villa etc. And before long we have an exciting new dawn without the current top 6 beauts involved.
 
The Players! The Managers! The Owners!
Super League = Hollywood, USA!
The cult of personality.
When an Egyptian kid buys a Liverpool shirt its not for the RS.
This is about capturing the worlds attention and holding it,
condensing it, where the greatest players on earth week in, week out, streamed around the world
all part of the same entity, same place, same time, unified in wonderment
Football, but not as we know it...yet.
The clubs, well they'll just be the vehicles bringing it to a site near you.

Not a chance in hell this current incarnation will pull off what they are trying to achieve.

1. Because its being driven by clubs with a core supporter base which cares more about beating the team down the road or down the motorway.
The CL is elevated, lofty, aspirational, historic, but its not week in week out, meat and potatoes stuff which sustains. No matter the stars, FC Universal vs Paramount United will be a souless weekend fixture.

El Classico's significance to the world esclated once it was Messi vs Ronaldo. Escalated, but not established. This Super League will never be able to create what the El Classico means to Catalonians, Madrilenos and the Spanish, not matter what scripts are conjured up. These things just can't be made up, can't be manufactured (at least not from outside). The El Classico's relevance will dwindle and cease to exist - its just not going to happen like that. Catalonian independence might a different story.

It'll be like rubbing shoulders at a fancy do, but at the end of the day you go home.

2. Europe is no way near ready for this to happen. The game is essentially tribal and geographical. For it to happen the geopolitics has to have changed.
What is much more realistic at this stage is the merging of leagues. Egs might be Lowlands, British Premier League, Scandanavian League, Iberian League etc
Or a larger Central European League with divisions (Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Swiss, Austrian etc) to go with Serie A, EPL, La Liga - with an elite League coming out of that part way through the season.

Also how does Brexit effect all this?
 
Would be great this, the fans of the breakaway clubs would soon be fuming after reality sets in that the games are soulless and uber expensive and would turn their backs on the freak show while we have a chance of topping up the trophy cabinet. Win win.

Wouldn't go there.
This is just a mid table defeats at mentality. We're better than that.
Can't support a folly which has the potential to rip.apart something that's sacred.

Naa, they will be spoiling it for themselves and we will all be loving life without the entitled tits. They will soon be back anyway.

Once they manage to swap The Tribal for The Franchise you might as well go back watching your local semi pro or conference side
