    Banning them all is the best decision UEFA have ever made.

    they apparently would no longer be playing premier games. Only super league...premier league would quick them out...the clubs prefer playing other powerhouses not small clubs...they would no longer be in Europa league or champions league...cause again they play too many small clubs until the later stages...small clubs have more to win...big clubs have more to lose...

    Ceferin confirmed that any players who played in the ESL would be banned from participating in future international tournaments, including the World Cup.

    "The players who will play in teams that might play in the closed league will be banned from playing in World Cup and Euros," Ceferin said. "They could not represent national team in any matches."

    We didn't know we had snakes working close to us, but now we know," Ceferin added. "Super League is only about money, money of the dozen, I don't want to call them dirty dozen, but UEFA is about developing football, and about financing what should be financed, that our football, our culture survives, and some people don't understand it.

    "We have the English FA, Spanish Federation, Italian Federation, the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and FIFA, unanimous in opposition to these cynical plans which are completely against what football should be. We are all united against this nonsense of a project."

    It eliminates competition. The 15 clubs will never face relegation, there’s no pyramid at all. It’s the same teams playing every single year pretty much. Boring.

    I think the revamp idea of the CL is much better than ESL.

    It’s a money grab from the owners of the clubs. They don’t care whatsoever as to what the fans say...

    All they are doing is taking the North American format....there’s no regulation in the nba, mlb or nfl. Few of the owners of these clubs are Americans who are owners of American sports franchises

    Idk if you watch American football but imagine the owner of the Dallas Cowboys was pissed they didn’t make playoffs every year so he decides to create his own super league with 4 other NFL teams. It just destroys the competitive nature of the sport.

    It’ll be interesting to see how some of the big players for these clubs react to this. Imagine Messi was just like “I’m not playing in this, I’m playing for argentina.” Could also push the clubs away from this.

    To anyone asking why we are against this competition. It's mainly because there will be a lot of money up for grabs if you win a game or if you win the entire thing, basically the big teams will be forced to play in their own leagues with their 2nd squad in order to focus on the European Super League.

    And since the games are mid week teams will be playing here instead of Uefa Champions League.

    And you can even relegate from your own league you will still qualify for the ESL, you won't have to fight to win the Championship anymore or to finish in the top 4.

    Champions League is one of the best competitions in football, besides the World cup and it is here since 1955 and they wanna ruin it now and let's not speak about every league in all the countries across Europe who are what football is all about since the beggining of this sport.

    Personally, I swear on my life I would not watch a single minute of this f---ing s--- and I hope they do ban all the teams from their own leagues and from any european competition and let the real fans enjoy football without them.

    That being said, I've always felt like there should be something done about the farmers leagues. This season has been an exception but you can always bank on death, taxes and PSG, Juventus Bayern and Barca/Real winning the league. This is not the solution

    I’ve supported Manchester United all my life so if this ESL goes through I will call it a day and support a different club.... taking suggestions as to which team to follow lads.
