Sounding like a broke record but sell the idea to the Saudi. UEFA and FIFA will probably support it.
Have it as a post season final four or 8 in SA for big bucks.
Now they are pumping into their own league they can include a team from there.
The concept is dead right now in Europe.
ESL has lost the public support, so it has lost the political battle i.e governments
This was a fatal mistake, because they became enemy of governments and a way for politicians to gain points.
FIFA wanted the ESL, but they will never go against governments.
UEFA has no reason to surrender control over competitions, which is the main thing. To remove the middle man.
It has no future under the current leaders, and this includes both Laporta and Perez. It will be almost impossible to happen with same faces still there
Laporta and Perez are both fierce competitors, so they won't let go even when it is the right decision.
