And this Super League kills other teams' efforts for gaining a bigger global fanbase because all the prestige and money has been secured by 15 clubs.

Teams are richer than others but it's not comparable to football. What you describe only really applies to the NFL due to the hard cap and the fact that teams make a lot of money and owners rarely have to make actual business decisions that aren't led by the league itself. But if you take the MLB, NBA and NHL, there are definitely rich and poor teams, it's reflected in how certain teams do everything to lower their wage bills as much as possible and in the case of the NBA certain owners don't want to have anything to do with luxury taxes while others don't mind it too much. If you look at MLB budgets the gaps are pretty big for example the Dodgers have a 26 man roster worth 211m while the Tigers are at 47m.
Thank, but no thanks
The CL without 6 of the traitorous 12 will be hollow and won't be as lucrative as most of the sponsors will migrate to the ESL. So yeah they will play in Europe but it won't be as impactful as playing in this current version.
Eventually the domestic leagues will die too because clubs in the ESL will hoard all the talented players and they won't have as much incentive to go all out for the local league games when they have a date with Real Madrid in Beijing on Wednesday.
Yeah. Let’s add the “Greedy Americans who have no concept of equality” to the crushing hypocrisy list. The ESL just takes everything the PL is to a higher level.

Maybe Watford would be a good club to follow, at least as long as Ben Foster keeps doing Youtube videos
We shall see. No way is the PL kicking the 6 out.
I see why Spurs wanted in on this, they needed the cash to fire Jose.
Other competitions will still go ahead, or are you suggesting they're worthless without the 'big' teams?
The Super League is not good news.
We should not join the rebel clubs.
We should not join the rebel clubs.
I was thinking the same, if there is one manager that has the balls to stand up against this garbage it's Klopp.
José the Redeemer?
You can't even keep track of your own bullshit.
I dont recall the PL having no relegation?
Hahaha sacked for moral high ground before he was pushed. What a guy, what a character, never misses an opportunity to look good.
Leave it to Mourinho to start the bust-up.
Rebel scum!
Do they get away with not paying him the 30m due to gross misconduct or some such loophole?
Typical Mourinho! Now watch him go and preach some sermons.
I'll keep track of it for you. Glazers was implied as the club spending money, not Joel Glazer literally going into his wallet, pulling out the club card and handing it over to Woodward to do some shopping.
Hahahaha. Brilliant.
And then get employed by a club in the SL
What does that help? Those clubs will then just go and create the league anyway.
Of course these competitions will significantly drop in value because these 15 clubs will never play in them. No Man Utd or Arsenal in the Europa League anymore. No Ajax - Spurs semifinals like in 2019. As a result the prize money will plummet.
You pretty much have to there is absolutely no benefit from a competitive or entertainment standpoint. The only benefit is money for the clubs involved.
Not the idea obviously.
But your idiotic rhetoric that is basically just trolling at this point as you stopped making any semblance of sense last night.
But no, the attitude you display, the arrogant ramblings of an entitled boy. The fact that you can't see anything past United and quire clearly don't give a feck about football on the whole.
And perhaps even more alarmingly, you quite clearly don't give a shit about the history of the club you claim to support.
I'd never noticed you around the forum before, I miss those days.
Ok so you're just a liar and a wum.
You disagreed with someone who said they'd taken out more than ever. Perhaps you misread or misinterpreted what they said. If you can't even admit you said something you didn't mean then there isn't any point.
Rather than de-rail the thread further I'll just put you on ignore.
Where did you pull those figures from? As reported yesterday the winners would get approx. 30m extra in terms of direct reward, with the bulk of the money gained being awarded just for competing in the group stages. As opposed to the CL, where the difference is 120m. In other words winning has directly been devalued and there's no consequence to finishing bottom.
How would that translate into winning the SL suddenly being worth an extra 1.15 billion?
100%
No, not that either. NA sports are not dominated by big, rich teams (in the sense of relatively big and rich within the closed shop - say, the New York Rangers compared to the Winnipeg Jets). Their leagues are designed to make it almost impossible for anyone to dominate year after year, and big, popular clubs are often not very good. It's a highly regulated corporate franchise, geared to make all participants profitable. There aren't any "no marks" - every club has a realistic potential to win a title in the next decade.
But, there is an absolute division line between being in the cartel and not being in the cartel. If you're not, you're not. And if you are, you can be as bad as you like.
You can't imagine the players and staff would be too happy about being unceremoniously dumped out of the current most prestigious club cups, because the owners are greedy cnuts.
Nailed on, somehow always ends up duping clubs.

ISS Pro 98 was and is the GOAT of all football games.
American Salary Cap keeps getting brought up. It is not an end all cap on spending for players. If you exceed the cap, you pay a dollar for dollar fine to the league but keep your shiny new player. Wealthy clubs just factor in the cost of the fine as a part of acquiring a needed player. It really only punishes the less wealthy clubs who cannot afford the cap fine.
the rich still get richer.
the rich still get richer.
Actually it is that. In this instance, the entirety of their big leagues - NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB are the popular/important teams. Then you have the plebs of the G-League, Minor leagues, NASL etc.
Who they never have to play.
