Uefa was messing with CL all the time, watering it down and those plans for 2024 are ridiculous. If only a middle ground could have been made. Now these clubs, United included, are braking away and football will be a lot different as we know it and far, far worse.
Then again some elitist stuff I'm reading here by the few posters who are pro super league is astonishing and vomit inducing. As if a club from Ukraine or my country, Croatia, shouldn't be allowed to participate in CL cause the big guns must play the whole season and if they end up 5th they dont go to the same competition. Its called Champions league anyway, a cup in which only the champions would participate and not only English, Italian and Spanish champions. Dont get me started on Tottenham too. Them above Dortmund, Porto, Benfica, Marseille and so on.
There's no pros about this league whatsoever.
But as I said Uefa made their own bed and they cant take the moral ground. They messed with the CL, EL all the time, trying to fix something that isnt broken. Now we'll get to see the same clubs playing week in week out and it will all become boring in 6 months or less. All cause of the money and greed involved in this. I dont expect Uefa to punish these clubs and even if they somehow do punish them I dont expect any of the 3 leaguse to kick the clubs out. On the other hand domestic leagues will devalue cause other for the title or staying in the league there wont be anything to play for. No CL places and clubs which will be out of the fight for the title will rest the players for the SL.
And cant believe fekin Leipzig will be invited too. Apparently.
All in all it's horrible but tbh it's been coming for a while. There has been too much football anyway and with this league it will all become more soulless and boring. And if they try to ship out games to other continents out of Old Trafford for example more it will be even more disastrous.
Fifa already made a week stance on this so when all the dust settles I dont think there will be any meaningful punishments for the clubs involved.
To end this rant I'm saddened and extremely angry that United is involved in this. As someone said we've been doing all right, Ole has brought back the joy to the club and progress has been made in and around the team. And for what? To play in some league in which our position is secured with no competition and no danger of going out. Madness, absolute madness.
