Why do some people say the Champions League has become stale? It would be nice if it wasn't the same clubs year after year, but it's often the best football you get to see all season. And the Super League doesn't solve the problem of the same teams competing for the trophy, it just makes it worse at the expense of any teams not allowed to participate.
Maybe it would be interesting to see these 15 clubs competing against each other more regularly, but it would be much more interesting to see all of it implode. I just can't see how a closed system is compatible with regular domestic football. I genuinely think it would leave the leagues almost no choice but to exclude the participating teams, because it would destroy league incentives.
Part of me almost wants to see it happen, just because I'm so intrigued about how everything plays out. Most likely just means more wealth concentration, but could it backfire and lead to more support for the remaining teams? Maybe all the teams come together and not just expel the ESL teams from domestic football but also ban any player sales to them? So many possibilities, so much drama
