1. "Without any Merit"1. A European competition that has random clubs that make it without any merit at the expense of good footballing clubs like United / Arsenal is the one with no sporting merit. There's also no jeopardy, all these small time clubs just exist to be cannon fodder so the top teams can progress.
2.Explain how domestic football is being destroyed.
3.The Super league is a cup competition to replace the CL / EL.
.Not a league where top teams play each other for 38 games in a single season.
4. The only way PL is impacted is due to reduced drama of not having a top four qualification race and "just" a title race. Plenty of leagues do fine with a title race.
You win to qualify under SPORTING achievements currently.
Arsenal is a "good footballing club" how? Are they better deserving than Leicester? Why?
We are a good footballing club how? We haven't qualified under our sporting performance for how many seasons since SAF left?
Then why have a ESL if their is no jeopardy in the current system as you say?
If the ESL is Merit based then describe what the merit is?
The ESL seeks to be led by PR, Marketing and Branding teams to accrue increased revenue purely for owners and dividends because of the "branding" of each club and the search for increased revenue streams from a potential consumer customer base.
Each club's brand though is based on the excitement generated by and as a part of a system where every club is never guaranteed to take part in the elite European competition and each club's inherent history.
Are you basing Merit on the success of PR and Marketing?
4. But isn't that drama what built the brand value? The leagues that do not have promotion relegation are a closed shop. Where is the merit in that? Are you a shareholder awaiting your dividends for such clubs?
Yes the PL's revenues are impacted. they are no saints. But even within the PL, there is relegation and promotion. Which aids progression through the tiers of the national games across the continent.
Do you actually believe in any sporting merit based on performance?
Why should your team be entitled to be in an elite competition if they have not performed to qualify?
The Leagues that have title races with closed shops are monopolies.
Why do you not what competition?
CL Reforms:
Why should any club be guaranteed CL football?
Why should the revamped CL not be considered?
How much is enough and for whom?
