Some voice in the back of my head tells me things can change quickly at some point, but I am digging the fact that Aki Watzke came out publicly doubling down that Bayern and BVB do not and will not join the ESL.
Also Rummenigge a few months ago:

what do those countries have to do with an elite club competition? how many times did a bulgarian, slovenian or romanian club reach the CL groups in the past 10 years? EL is their bread and butter anyway.

As many people have said, UEFA,the EPL and La Liga crying is hypocritical.
Money makes the world go round sadly and they know it.They are just mad they are not going to get a big share from it and that their product will lose its value.
UEFA changed the Champion’s Cup format to the UCL.Was it fair for smaller teams in most countries from Europe?Why does 4th placed Arsenal deserve the place + the MONEY more than them? In time,the rich and the famous became richer and more famous,while the poor cannot realistically compete against them.
As for the EPL and La Liga to a lesser extent,it was easy and justified when they grabbed most of the talents and obtained those massive TV and advertisement deals...Yeah sure,a team from Belgium or Greece can seriously compete against the EPL giants.
As hypocritical as it gets

Indeed but SL is even more to that direction. So it does not solve these problems but making them even greater

IMO it's very important to differentiate between 2 separate aspects:
1) The many-games format
It is true that UCL format has not been very exciting the last many years.
A change is needed and that is reflected in the European Super League Format.
But UEFA has accepted that and is proposing a new model as well starting 2024.
2) The 'closed club' format
This is where the European Super League idea is unacceptable...
Closed club means that however shite a team is in the local league, they will have an assured spot there, and any team that rises can NOT have a place there.
10 years ago City, PSG would not have been there
20 years ago Chelsea would not have been there
Likewise, Valencia and Deportive in the late 90s early 00s were where Atleti is atm. Why Atleti and not them?
If Depor becomes great again, why foreclose the possibility and close the top European competitions doors to them?
It is utterly unacceptable.

A few spots, plus 12 guaranteed clubs, some of whom have done fuck all even on a domestic level.

With 3.5bn guaranteed to every club, Haaland's price just went over 1bn. These are market rules. Just like every club on the planet knew we had 222m in the bank after Neymar.
