    The PL being better is all down to PL teams willing to share more of the revenue with each other. The Spanish league allowed the top teams to take most of the leagues revenue and now instead of fixing that they want a Super League so those top teams can suck even more money out of the sport. The lack of awareness on why they’re not in as good of a position as the PL is astonishing to me. How do people this inept become presidents of anything.

    First thing : that looks like a bullshit argument. He uses wealth gap as an excuse but anyone who genuinely is concerned about wealth gap won’t think of a Super League as a solution.

    Second thing : Is it not the purpose of rules like financial fair-play to prevent those kind of thing to happen ? If it doesn’t work, so do better rules.

    I guess to be the president of Atleti you have to completely ignore the Galaticos era of Spanish football…

    Honestly though, was this guy in a coma from 2013-2018? What an absurd statement

    Why is it every time these fucks talk about the PL nicking all of the best players they never talk about Real and Barca having many of the best players in the world for the past 15 year. Look a bit closer to home pal.

      He’s just greedy and wants Super League money. It’s not some diabolical plan to attack England. Chill.

    Eventually it will probably be English Premier League vs. European Super League

    This is incredibly short sighted and stupid. The fundamental problem is that the social, cultural and economic models we operate under produce monopolies naturally. It’s ultimately irrelevant where you arbitrarily insert break points in the data set in order to declare the problem solved. At best you get a temporary reprieve. All you have to do is just wait a little bit and eventually the same environment produces the same results and you will again have monopolistic outcomes where a small subset of participants dominate.

    Remember when Serie A and La Liga had the likes of Rijkaard, Van Basten, Romario, Stoijhkov, Michael Laudrup, Baresi, Platini etc?

    The Superleague wants to replace the Champions League or domestic Leagues? I dont understand how they think will fit.

    As opposed to the Madrids taking all the best players from Spain back in the glory days? Nobody wins today except big money and they are just sore that their money isn’t big enough anymore.

    Lie down with dogs- you get fleas.
