It was a cashgrab but from someone who supports a shit club who'll never win anything the entertainment and competitiveness of the super league would've been higher than watching most domestic leagues today 3/4 team title races each year with the highest level of footballMost leagues today are dominated by 1 or 2 teams and it's boring, 90% of the leagues are fodder The only thing I didn't like about the super league was no relegation which they fixed in the 2nd proposal
It would be intereeting as an experiment but it looked irreversibleWhat if it was shit
>>154641928Why is Tottenham there?
You're stupid. The top clubs don't make the leagues interesting. It's the illusion that they are some sacred, special thing that keeps people hooked. In the Super League they will be exposed and look like the mid-tier clubs in all those leagues right now. All the mystique and psychological boost the club and the fans get from "dominating" by just having more money will be gone
Sorry for saying you're stupid. Maybe you're just too young
>>154641928I think a league vs league format would be a much more interesting prospect, and a better measure of which ones are farmer’s leagues and which ones are secretly good.The proposal: two leagues are selected (say ligue 1 and premier league). Each team is randomly assigned one team from the other league. They play home and away. The points earned count towards their league rather than towards the club.Eg: lyon matched against Chelsea. A win and a draw. That’s 4 points for ligue 1 and one for the premier league.Granted, there’s still a lot of imbalance, but that’s part of the fun (eg good teams being matched against poorer teams), but also unexpected hype moments (national rivals begrudgingly rooting for each other when points are scarce). Idk, I think it’s worth trying, plus it’s only 2 extra games per year for every team involved.
>heh pro/rel is why our sports are good o algo>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY DO IT IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY AIEEEEE I NEED MY FARMERS LEAGUES
>>154641928National leagues are the bread and butter. Why give these greedy corpos even more money to suck when they clearly can't work efficiently? This product would have gotten old quickly as well, but it would still have escalated the cycle of reckless inflation and fucked the sport even moreLook at that line-up. Tottenham? Milan? In the 2020s? Atletico? This entire diseased system should have been burned down to the ground. Distribute the money differently, actually punish these clubs for their errors. And don't destroy football heritage for the sake of cheap entertainment. I fully agree that most leagues are hard to bear right now, but turning the shit up to 11 wouldn't help anyone but global plastics. That's what the entire proposal was openly aimed at anyway. Sorry, but no
>>154642559>Look at that line-up. Tottenham? Milan? In the 2020s? Atletico?better than 90% of bundes
>>154641963This. It would have been funny to see Tottenham bottom and winless though. I wish they'd gone ahead with it and we kicked the cunts out of our league.
>>154642606Did I say anything else, smart guy? It's in the nature of leaguesBut if you put in Tottenham, you may as well consider putting in Hamburg, >Schalke, Köln, Frankfurt, Stuttgart. Tottenham having a global audience of plastic fans and therefore a higher revenue isn't everything. But no shit, they are better than most clubs! But if you seriously want to tell me they're huge and belong in a tier on their own: fuck offMilan for example at least has a really proud history. But they have lost the thread. You can easily see that this Super League proposal was a desperate attempt to get back on track for some (like Milan) while others wanted to secure their status as nouveau-rich (Spurs). That's what this was created for, and such measures are better reserved for franchise sports, not actual competitions
>>154643209getting buyern out of bundes would have fixed your league though, you're not seeing the big picture
>>154643283I think I have. But it would have devalued the competition regardless, too much. Bayern would still exist. What worth would there be to a competition for determining the best German team when you know a German team is officially too good to even bother? That's a new level of humiliation, and it would make them even richer. It would not have fixed anything beyond making things look better at first glance. Alternatively, the clubs would have stayed in their domestic leagues while participating in the Super League - in that case, the entire scheme working would have given them an enormous additional financial boost, making the gap even larger. And even without Bayern in the national league, them being part of a working Super League would make them more adept at stealing other clubs' players than ever with such financial power and the access to the closed-off highest competition level to offer
