I do not understand posters that defend this crap. European football was based upon the relegation system, and the good thing about it were that smaller clubs can have success by doing things well. If only size and money matters, what is then football? For me, I remember proudly when my club reached the quarter finals of the CL in 96. I remember when we beat Real Madrid, Dortmund, PSG, Valencia, Porto, AC Milan... All this achieved due to a great coach, a great pretty much local team that worked together as a team and a club that worked within a system that allowed each nations league winner to try themselves against the best of Europe.
Now this is extremely hard to repeat. The differences are bigger than ever. It is impossible to compete due to the good players always leaving for big salaries and seeding system disabling lesser teams when they have a golden generation team.
But this new League pretty much puts up a wall. We will not be able to play the biggest clubs. They have made themselves a league where they do not even need to perform! It is cheating, it is unfair and it is not football! It is just a commercial moneygrabbing machine!
Uefa might be bad, even worse so for listening to much to the big clubs and making systems that benefit the biggest teams and leagues. But still, there was a small chance for the smaller clubs and nations to compete! Where is the charm and motivation for us to play European football when even the theoretical chance of success at the highest level is gone? What is the point?
Some people from the bigger clubs feel they are entitled to all the money, all the benefits, just due to being BIG.
I would rather have it the other way around. More rules ensuring the rights of the smaller clubs and nations. God, I miss when players were loyal to clubs and the salaries were not astronomical. When men were men and the world was not such an immoral greedy shit house.
I have lost all respect for these clubs, and at the same time feel sorry for their fans, who have been deceived and let down. It is YOUR club but private investors have stolen your club and it might never be returned.
Still, without being big or playing in a super league, my club will still be run by people elected by fans, and the fans will always be able to vote against things they do not like. Like our fans voted for a stand against Qatar this year. And due to this system, will never be hi-jacked. The club will never have the same chances again, but will forever be the fans club.
