When the new league, called ‘The Super League’ was announced in April of 2021, it originally consisted of AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. The decision to form some sort of elite closed league was met with huge disapproval from all over the world, England especially, and within hours, the whole idea was abandoned, sort of.🚨🎙 Javier Tebas (On the Super League): “They are working on another project, which will again be a failure, without the English teams, against UEFA, FIFA and the Premier.” #rmalive— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) March 23, 2022 Actually, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus never gave up on the idea and are still working to make it happen, even without the English clubs. But how is that possible? Who would want to watch the league without Liverpool, or Chelsea or Manchester club? Well, those doubters obviously don’t know Real’s president, Florentino Perez. One of the most powerful people in football won’t take ‘no’ for an answer, especially when the Super League is his personal idea.“Florentino never loses, he is always coming up with something. The Super League is a concept that started many years ago and is more Florentino’s, not so much Real Madrid’s. It continues existing. They give a lot of important to what the EU could solve, but the European governments have already positioned themselves. They are working on another project, that will be a failure again, without the English teams, against UEFA, FIFA and the Premier League” said La Liga president Javier Tebas at a press conference.European Super League revamp on the way? Tebas: ESL creators lie more than PutinSo, it’s a sort of personal quest for Perez, but really, any sort of league without England looks doomed from the beginning. And yet, they will try do it, and it seems that they have some sort of reasoning behind it. After the New York Times revealed that UEFA agreed on a new version of Financial Fair Play rules, it came to the light of the day that both wages and the amortization of transfer fees will have to be up to 70 per cent of revenues. And those new rules seems to be in favor of the Premier League clubs, since their huge TV deal would get them revenue every season.Friday, 02.30: (1.42) Brazil (4.60) Chile (9.50)And with these new information, it is not so unreal to expect that Perez and co. will try to form a tournament without the English, if they think that the Premier League would begin to dominate the Champions League, due to their financial power in the upcoming years. After all, the Super League was always about money, so if they can generate more cash even without the Premier League clubs, they will explore that option.
