RE: Football Without Money is Everything
Well scripted. Your use of data is highly endearing.
Like I've said severally, UEFA was mainly fighting their own cause by opposing the Super League. They would be damnly affected if the elite clubs breakaway, especially on TV rights. Which TV will pay them to air a Champions League without these elite teams?
It's double tragedy for Arsenal fans, especially season ticket holders who pay through their noses for tickets and get nothing, in terms of success, in return from the club. At least, the returns have been paltry in the last decade.
These stats also points to why they all jumped at the idea of the Super League. UEFA makes money out of these teams and they feel they should get more compensated. My only worry is that it would have widened the gap between them and the less powerful teams in times of finances.
Except UEFA does something drastic to right this, I won't be surprise if this comes up again in a few years from now.
Without a doubt. The Real Madrid chariman has already said "it's on hold" and this is their 2nd attempt already. I think it's inevitable, they just need to manipulate everybody else into thinking it's a good idea.
Yeah and it's looking like he's the one spearheading the attack.
What, in your opinion, do you think needs to be addressed to make it a sellable idea as almost every critic see the current dispensation as unfavorable and lopsided?
I think some honesty would be a good start. Instead of going behind people's backs and deciding to announce its launch, take the time to understand why people don't want it. And then try to make it fit with what people do want.
Succinct. I was even amazed when some of the clubs later claimed they were not fully aware how it was going to run and all intricacies. So sad.
Thanks for your insight.
