This coeficient bullshit is EXACTLY how the basketball euroleague started and it ended with a de facto closed european league. If thats the route, in less than 10 years will progressively implement more restrictions till it will be a ESL but ruled by FIFA. So even worse than what had been proposedTweet

I wonder if Neville and Linekar will give this the same energy.
It will still be custodian UEFA managing it rather than the clubs themselves, which was the silliest idea ever.This coeficient bullshit is EXACTLY how the basketball euroleague started and it ended with a de facto closed european league.

Will happen justvmore silent and the fans will barely protest because it will be with small increments instead of the shock that the ESL caused in the last 3 days
Yep, with everyone delighted with the death of the SL (especially the PL/UEFA/SKY/BT) momentum will be lost and the status quo will quickly return. Majority of fans of other clubs outside the 6 won't give a feck about changing the ownership model as most of them are probably still hoping their club is the next one to win the billionaire lottery. Chelsea and City fans won't be pushing to get their owners to up sticks any time soon either and they certainly won't give a feck about United, Liverpool and Arsenal's american owners bleeding those clubs dry. The Government have their PR win so their review into football ownership will likely amount to the square route of feck all.While the ESL wasn't quite the right solution, if you take a step back and look at the big picture, the rigged system today is far worse long term economically for fans and is a slow death to football as we know it.
Any rich investor can come in, pump money, raise costs for everyone in the football pyramid. The impact to ALL fans is rising cost of watching games on TV, attending games, and buying merchandise.
Most modern sport leagues counter this by implementing a salary cap of sorts. But UEFA is corrupt and has shown they won't do this.
So don't empathize with the greedy broadcasters and corrupt UEFA who stand to make the most from maintaining status quo. A 50+1 ownership is the BEST step to solving this. And our best shot to get that was through an escalation between ESL and UEFA. With ESL disbanding, things will return to the status quo and the need for overhaul will be lost.

Its bizarre that all the Spainish clubs haven't offically withdrawn.What’s happening with the Super League now? Who is still in it?
Real Madrid still committed to making it happen?
A year outside the CL/EL competitions for the 12 so the rest of the clubs can prove that they can get on perfectly well without us, would seem to be fair.Tweet

Let's see what these sanctions will be. Given that there wasn't anything that materialised at the end of the day, I'm not expecting much more than some fines.
You could always word the punishment as "a season's ban from UEFA competition that the club qualified for."A year outside the CL/EL competitions for the 12 so the rest of the clubs can prove that they can get on perfectly well without us, would seem to be fair.
May as well do it next year (although it would be annoying to let Liverpool/Chelsea off the hook for a non top 4 finish).
That will never happen because the UEFA needs the 12 clubs......no one will care about a quarter-final between Real Sociedad vs Wolfsburg.A year outside the CL/EL competitions for the 12 so the rest of the clubs can prove that they can get on perfectly well without us, would seem to be fair.

It will just be a big fine from all the clubs. UEFA only care about money and are as greedy as they come.That will never happen because the UEFA needs the 12 clubs......no one will care about a quarter-final between Real Sociedad vs Wolfsburg.
"Well done UEFA, you've won. You ruined my league so that you could keep the money for yourself. I hope that the Champions League makes you very happy and that you use the money to get some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck with no tyres"Any more ramblings from Perez?
You'd have Napoli, Bayern, Roma, Sevilla, Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Monaco, Porto, PSG, Benfica, Ajax in the mix.That will never happen because the UEFA needs the 12 clubs......no one will care about a quarter-final between Real Sociedad vs Wolfsburg.

Edit : Also funny how you can warn UAE about Mancity while their fans maintain its private investment.

But aren’t they 10-12% smaller not just in viewership size but population size? There’s just fewer gen z than millennialsYes, you are most likely correct I would think. Live broadcast models are changing across the industry as well.
It was something like 10-12% less than the older age group. So, relatively significant.

99.99% of the people (Players, coach, staff and fans) at every ESL club had no idea about the ESL and have had no interest in ESL......a ban would be 100% fine if they would have voted for the ESL too.You'd have Napoli, Bayern, Roma, Sevilla, Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Monaco, Porto, PSG, Benfica, Ajax in the mix.
I reckon you could make some palatable quarter finals out of that lot.
Ban the 12 for a year - it's only a year and they truly deserve it.
