European Super League

EUFA Statement:

most notably:

As previously announced by FIFA and the six Confederations, the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition at domestic, European or world level, and their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams.

so then what?

What exactly would be the point of any of these clubs existing if they are only in one league, excluded from everything else?

But hey, money, right....

In addition, the competition will be built on a sustainable financial foundation with all Founding Clubs signing up to a spending framework. In exchange for their commitment, Founding Clubs will receive an amount of €3.5 billion solely to support their infrastructure investment plans and to offset the impact of the COVID pandemic.

This is absolutely insane

Right. But where's that money going to come from? Obviously clubs have been picked for their global fan base.
But from the reaction I've seen that global fan base thinks this is bullshit.
Are the clubs banking on the fact that while many people are pissed off, enough will still want to see their team to pay to watch this?
They might be right. It's completely alienate the traditional support but I guess if enough other people around the world will keep paying then who cares, right?

I have no doubt global fans would lap it up, they provide more commercially for these clubs than any domestic fans do. Certain foreign TV stations can also comfortably outbid BT & Sky in securing deals too.

This is true.

I saw a post on twitter last night that DANZ (some tv station abroad) was willing to pay €3-4 billion for the tv rights in it's respective country

I always wondered why Amazon was suddenly interested in streaming sporting events. And now they have all that extra loot they picked up from a million competitors shut down during year of nonsense I guess they be one of the mega-corporations that can buy in at ground level and own sport thereafter. Really opens up a lot of opportunity when you don't have to pay tax.

I'm not entirely sure, but we can guess that some streaming services will bid for the rights to show the games.


JP Morgan (the great reset) is financing it's creation, although I'm not sure what they are getting out of it in return.
